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 £7.5m
Cash at bank: ▼91%; Now £34.6k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 23
Deferred income: ▼44%; Now £9.8k
Fixed assets: ▲23%; Now £4.5m

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