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: ▲14%; Now £8.3m
Cash at bank: ▼88%; Now £5.3k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 16
Deferred income: ▲536%; Now £67.1k
Fixed assets: ▲60%; Now £784k

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