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: ▼34%; Now £577k
Cash at bank: —; Now —
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 224
Deferred income: ▲115%; Now £421k

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