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: ▲51%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▼80%; Now £251k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 395
Deferred income: ▼27%; Now £419k
Fixed assets: ▲121%; Now £7.2m

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