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 £2m
Cash at bank: ▲157%; Now £2.9k
Headcount: ▼23%; Now 27
Deferred income: ▼78%; Now £65.9k
Fixed assets: ▲51%; Now £3.1m

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