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: ▲2%; Now £6.4m
Cash at bank: ▼8%; Now £737k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 102
Deferred income: ▲54%; Now £76.4k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £5.7m

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