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 £100k
Cash at bank: ▼8%; Now £83.5k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 145
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £110k
Fixed assets: ▲2439%; Now £47k

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