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: ▲36%; Now £21.5m
Cash at bank: ▲43%; Now £7.1m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 248
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £6.4m
Fixed assets: ▲20%; Now £26.4m

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