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: ▲9%; Now £17.5m
Cash at bank: ▲11%; Now £5m
Headcount: ▲45%; Now 224
Deferred income: ▲32%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £3.9m

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