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: ▼14%; Now £1m
Cash at bank: ▼40%; Now £240k
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 38
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £358k
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £3.1m

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