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: ▲30%; Now £11.1m
Cash at bank: ▼14%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲57%; Now 1,684
Deferred income: ▲713%; Now £567k
Fixed assets: ▲80%; Now £785k

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