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: ▼14%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▼35%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼32%; Now 25
Deferred income: ▼38%; Now £290k
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £85.3k

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