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: ▲18%; Now £32.8m
Cash at bank: ▲184%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 180
Deferred income: ▲34%; Now £8.4m
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £74m

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