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: ▼17%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▲53%; Now £203k
Headcount: 0%; Now 52
Deferred income: ▼36%; Now £47.1k
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £296k

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