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: ▲14%; Now £5.5m
Cash at bank: ▲20%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 41
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £258k
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £4.2m

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