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: ▼52%; Now £825k
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £667k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▲122%; Now £68.7k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £158k

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