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 £67.4m
Cash at bank: ▼9%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 648
Deferred income: ▼24%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £64.4m

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