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: ▲2%; Now £3.9m
Cash at bank: ▼97%; Now £5.9k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 99
Deferred income: ▼51%; Now £300k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £4.8m

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