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: ▲3%; Now £1.4m
Cash at bank: ▼49%; Now £14.9k
Headcount: ▲35%; Now 23
Deferred income: ▼35%; Now £465k
Fixed assets: ▲148%; Now £30.4k

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