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: ▲23%; Now £79.1m
Cash at bank: ▲38%; Now £70.4m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▲51%; Now £17.6m
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £5.3m

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