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: ▼4%; Now £7.7m
Cash at bank: ▼71%; Now £245k
Headcount: ▼38%; Now 112
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £477k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £4.4m

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