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: ▲6%; Now £42.3m
Cash at bank: ▲12%; Now £34.1m
Headcount: 0%; Now 264
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £5.4m
Fixed assets: ▲60%; Now £7.7m

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