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: ▼43%; Now £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼30%; Now £108k
Headcount: ▼33%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▼34%; Now £83.4k
Fixed assets: ▼27%; Now £969k

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