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: ▲90%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▲644%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲490%; Now 59
Deferred income: ▼90%; Now £5k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £2.1m

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