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: ▲13%; Now £5.9m
Cash at bank: ▲5%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲42%; Now 1,203
Deferred income: ▼40%; Now £2.1m
Fixed assets: ▲25%; Now £12.5m

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