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: ▼28%; Now £20.7m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £2.7m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 636
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £2.7m
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £42.4m

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