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: ▲2020%; Now £331k
Cash at bank: ▼82%; Now £195k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▲23%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £158k

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