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: ▲14%; Now £11.1m
Cash at bank: ▲35%; Now £17.1m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 202
Deferred income: ▲28%; Now £1.3m
Fixed assets: ▼26%; Now £3m

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