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: ▼9%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▲22%; Now £595k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▲26%; Now £518k
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £755k

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