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: ▲0%; Now £6.9m
Cash at bank: ▲22%; Now £8.1m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 238
Deferred income: ▲18%; Now £2.1m
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £1.7m

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