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: ▼43%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲95%; Now £242k
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 46
Deferred income: ▲139%; Now £372k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £5.8m

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