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: ▼74%; Now £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▼88%; Now £504k
Headcount: ▲21%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▼35%; Now £701k
Fixed assets: ▲31%; Now £46k

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