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: ▲11%; Now £14.6m
Cash at bank: ▲73%; Now £2.7m
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 339
Deferred income: ▲69%; Now £3.7m
Fixed assets: ▲23%; Now £23.8m

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