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: ▲6%; Now £8.1m
Cash at bank: ▲430411%; Now £121k
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▼7%; Now £56.1k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £6.5m

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