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: ▼20%; Now £2.1m
Cash at bank: ▲128%; Now £183k
Headcount: ▼26%; Now 72
Deferred income: ▼41%; Now £894k
Fixed assets: ▼24%; Now £802k

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