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: ▲37%; Now £13.9m
Cash at bank: ▲75%; Now £3m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 351
Deferred income: ▲132%; Now £989k
Fixed assets: ▲45%; Now £1.3m

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