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: ▲3%; Now £12.1m
Cash at bank: ▼41%; Now £8.3m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 159
Deferred income: ▲10%; Now £5.9m
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £5.1m

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