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: ▲4%; Now £6.9m
Cash at bank: ▼83%; Now £29.4k
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 27
Deferred income: ▲417%; Now £337k
Fixed assets: ▼25%; Now £575k

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