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: ▼5%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼21%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £215k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £1.7m

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