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: ▼7%; Now £3.2m
Cash at bank: ▼79%; Now £784k
Headcount: 0%; Now 6
Deferred income: ▲173%; Now £407k
Fixed assets: ▼88%; Now £21.7k

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