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: ▲13%; Now £25.7m
Cash at bank: ▼58%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 379
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £833k
Fixed assets: ▲1499649%; Now £45.9m

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