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: ▲4%; Now £5.3m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £3.3m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 575
Deferred income: ▼13%; Now £3.5m
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £14.8m

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