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: ▼58%; Now £456k
Cash at bank: ▼94%; Now £33k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▼25%; Now £138k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £1.9m

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