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: ▼35%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▼46%; Now £2.3m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 128
Deferred income: ▲43%; Now £213k
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £2.8m

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