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: ▼280%; Now −£3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼86%; Now £22.8k
Headcount: ▼17%; Now 79
Deferred income: ▼74%; Now £626k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £2.9m

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