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 −£1.8m
Cash at bank: ▼86%; Now £73.8k
Headcount: ▲12%; Now 229
Deferred income: ▲44%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £1.1m

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