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: ▼2%; Now £2.2m
Cash at bank: ▲84%; Now £176k
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 85
Deferred income: ▼93%; Now £17.3k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £3.3m

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