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: ▲12%; Now £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▲41%; Now £5.2m
Headcount: ▲17%; Now 875
Deferred income: ▲95%; Now £477k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £290k

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