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: ▼11%; Now £3.3m
Cash at bank: ▲1%; Now £11.6k
Headcount: 0%; Now 65
Deferred income: ▲59%; Now £891k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £3.6m

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