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: ▲21%; Now £12.5m
Cash at bank: ▲28%; Now £6.3m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 491
Deferred income: ▲30%; Now £606k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £5.3m

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