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: ▲56%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲23%; Now 27
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £61.4k
Fixed assets: ▲119%; Now £479k

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