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 £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼45%; Now £788k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 23
Deferred income: ▼25%; Now £203k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £686k

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