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 £40.1m
Cash at bank: ▼60%; Now £5.2m
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 481
Deferred income: ▲72%; Now £2.6m
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £21.3m

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