Unusual figures. Profit is higher than revenue in this filing. That usually means investment income, dividends from subsidiaries or one-off gains — or a mis-tagged figure. Check the original filing before drawing conclusions.

Badges are automated estimates derived from the filed figures — not statements of fact about the company.

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: ▲2%; Now £24.9m
Cash at bank: ▲57%; Now £3m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 182
Deferred income: ▲6%; Now £2.8m
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £1.8m

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