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 £80.4m
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £28.1m
Headcount: ▲0%; Now 251
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £1.6m
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £68.3m

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