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: ▲10%; Now £628k
Cash at bank: ▲48%; Now £216k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £32.9k
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £1.4m

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