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: ▲49%; Now £8.9m
Cash at bank: ▲498%; Now £2.5m
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 209
Deferred income: —; Now £864k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £2.2m

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