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: ▲29%; Now £5.3m
Cash at bank: ▲763%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▲45%; Now 120
Deferred income: ▲94%; Now £251k
Fixed assets: ▲43%; Now £513k

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