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 −£3.3m
Cash at bank: ▲101%; Now £60.7k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 178
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £311k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £1.4m

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