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: ▲51%; Now £43.9m
Cash at bank: ▲88%; Now £9.5m
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 198
Deferred income: ▲30%; Now £2.9m
Fixed assets: ▲65%; Now £9.9m

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