Indirect — not revenue

Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▼39%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▼80%; Now £157k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 132
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £921k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £3.6m

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
