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: ▲37%; Now £4.1m
Cash at bank: ▲69%; Now £3.3m
Headcount: ▲12%; Now 84
Deferred income: ▲38%; Now £375k
Fixed assets: ▲14%; Now £1.2m

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