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: ▲15%; Now £19.2m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £12.6m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 324
Deferred income: ▲30%; Now £18.5m
Fixed assets: ▲72%; Now £4.7m

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