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: ▼2%; Now £11.5m
Cash at bank: ▼7%; Now £10.3m
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 1,470
Deferred income: ▼13%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £3m

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