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: ▲42%; Now £1.5m
Cash at bank: —; Now —
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 13
Deferred income: ▼33%; Now £2.4m
Fixed assets: ▼34%; Now £59.8k

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