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 £5m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £965k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 167
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £530k
Fixed assets: ▲38%; Now £662k

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