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: ▼4%; Now £6.5m
Cash at bank: ▲35%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 84
Deferred income: ▼37%; Now £66.5k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £988k

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