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: ▼59%; Now £202k
Cash at bank: ▼75%; Now £267k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▲77%; Now £204k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £62.4k

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