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: ▼29%; Now £6.5m
Cash at bank: ▲76%; Now £59.2k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 262
Deferred income: ▲7%; Now £249k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £11.1m

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