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: ▼35%; Now £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £548k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 165
Deferred income: ▼44%; Now £235k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £3.9m

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