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: ▲40%; Now £4.4m
Cash at bank: ▲429%; Now £5.7m
Headcount: ▲28%; Now 100
Deferred income: ▲33%; Now £2.2m
Fixed assets: ▲357%; Now £763k

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