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: ▲44%; Now £709k
Cash at bank: ▼29%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▼37%; Now 265
Deferred income: ▲114%; Now £54.4k
Fixed assets: ▼70%; Now £6.6k

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