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: ▼16%; Now £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▼60%; Now £191k
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 171
Deferred income: ▼43%; Now £195k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £12.3m

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