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: ▼74%; Now £842k
Cash at bank: ▼56%; Now £334k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 17
Deferred income: ▲980%; Now £302k
Fixed assets: ▼63%; Now £11.1k

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