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: ▲3%; Now £3.3m
Cash at bank: ▼69%; Now £359k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▲140%; Now £481k
Fixed assets: ▲51%; Now £691k

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