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: ▲3%; Now £106m
Cash at bank: ▼26%; Now £38.3m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 426
Deferred income: ▼75%; Now £5.1m
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £34.2m

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