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 £6.5m
Cash at bank: 0%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £3m
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £6.6m

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