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: ▲31%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▲139%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲18%; Now 144
Deferred income: ▲44%; Now £209k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £3.2m

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