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: ▲68%; Now £17.1m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £21.4m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 800
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £9.7m
Fixed assets: ▲103%; Now £11.1m

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