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: ▲15%; Now £17.6m
Cash at bank: ▲11%; Now £4.4m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 146
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £320k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £5m

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