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: ▼19%; Now £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▼38%; Now £15.6k
Headcount: 0%; Now 21
Deferred income: ▲17%; Now £19.2k
Fixed assets: ▼83%; Now £184k

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