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: ▲8%; Now £55.4m
Cash at bank: ▲156%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 550
Deferred income: ▼32%; Now £2.2m
Fixed assets: ▲19%; Now £73.5m

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