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 £9.4m
Cash at bank: ▲27%; Now £8.8m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 377
Deferred income: ▲48%; Now £2.8m
Fixed assets: ▲21%; Now £3.7m

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