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: ▼26%; Now £98.1k
Cash at bank: ▲221%; Now £529k
Headcount: ▼16%; Now 37
Deferred income: ▲19%; Now £1.9m
Fixed assets: ▼22%; Now £312k

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