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: ▼90%; Now £161k
Cash at bank: ▼57%; Now £85.7k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▲11%; Now £234k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £550k

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