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 £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▼91%; Now £27.5k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 33
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £60.5k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £1.1m

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