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: ▲6%; Now £5.1m
Cash at bank: ▼83%; Now £865k
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 147
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £381k
Fixed assets: ▼72%; Now £4.6k

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