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: ▼36%; Now £1.4m
Cash at bank: ▲268%; Now £880k
Headcount: ▲50%; Now 3
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £152k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £5.4m

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