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: ▲1%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £385k
Headcount: ▼26%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▲37%; Now £146k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £2.5m

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