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: ▼106%; Now −£36k
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £292k
Headcount: ▲25%; Now 10
Deferred income: ▲55%; Now £4.9m
Fixed assets: ▲34%; Now £527k

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