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: ▼264%; Now −£1.7m
Cash at bank: ▼82%; Now £200
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 139
Deferred income: ▼90%; Now £44.4k
Fixed assets: ▼69%; Now £1.3m

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