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: ▲9%; Now £25.6m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £5.3m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 449
Deferred income: ▲6%; Now £2.7m
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £12.8m

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