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: ▲28%; Now £12k
Cash at bank: ▲5%; Now £2.9m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 14
Deferred income: ▲6%; Now £497k
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £4.1k

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