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: ▲25%; Now £98.8k
Cash at bank: ▲555%; Now £191k
Headcount: 0%; Now 6
Deferred income: ▲1114%; Now £94.1k
Fixed assets: ▲34%; Now £2.9k

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