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: ▲14%; Now £8.5m
Cash at bank: ▲16%; Now £6.4m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 902
Deferred income: ▲10%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £6m

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