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: ▲4%; Now £761k
Cash at bank: ▲2176%; Now £230k
Headcount: 0%; Now 15
Deferred income: ▼73%; Now £30.5k
Fixed assets: ▲17%; Now £69.6k

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