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: ▲35%; Now £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▲32%; Now £545k
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 94
Deferred income: ▲58%; Now £447k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £1.3m

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