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: ▲4%; Now £28.4m
Cash at bank: ▼23%; Now £3.2m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 234
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £738k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £50.2m

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