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: ▲11%; Now £32.7m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £4.7m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 198
Deferred income: ▼10%; Now £2.5m
Fixed assets: ▲22%; Now £44.6m

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