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: ▼11%; Now £478k
Cash at bank: ▼68%; Now £80.1k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 42
Deferred income: ▲41%; Now £394k
Fixed assets: ▲53%; Now £2.2m

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