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: —; Now −£215k
Cash at bank: ▲65%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 1,213
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £7.2m

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