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: —; Now −£8.9k
Cash at bank: ▲576%; Now £6.6k
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 3
Deferred income: ▼98%; Now £153
Fixed assets: ▲310%; Now £3.7k

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