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: ▼15%; Now £49.4m
Cash at bank: ▲2%; Now £6.7m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 1,148
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £16.6m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £91.7m

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