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: ▲15%; Now £7.2m
Cash at bank: ▲17%; Now £7.8m
Headcount: ▲24%; Now 21
Deferred income: ▼18%; Now £2.3m
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £4.1m

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