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: ▼10%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▼12%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 57
Deferred income: ▲289%; Now £138k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £854k

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