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: ▲7%; Now £46.2m
Cash at bank: ▲58%; Now £413k
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 718
Deferred income: ▲7%; Now £2.6m
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £62.8m

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