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: ▼7%; Now £1m
Cash at bank: ▲9%; Now £2.5m
Headcount: 0%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £280k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £66.6k

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