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: ▲13%; Now £9.8m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £8.3m
Headcount: ▲17%; Now 49
Deferred income: ▼96%; Now £92.3k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £1.1m

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