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: ▼1%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▼40%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 13
Deferred income: ▼77%; Now £278k
Fixed assets: ▲76%; Now £575k

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