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: ▼3%; Now £21.2m
Cash at bank: ▲60%; Now £2.8m
Headcount: ▲777%; Now 877
Deferred income: ▲60%; Now £3m
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £8.2m

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