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: ▼13%; Now £35k
Cash at bank: ▼28%; Now £45.3k
Headcount: ▼40%; Now 3
Deferred income: ▼98%; Now £480
Fixed assets: ▼25%; Now £4.9k

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