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: ▼4%; Now £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▲8%; Now £79.9k
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 106
Deferred income: ▼46%; Now £398k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £8.1m

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