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: ▼10%; Now £687k
Cash at bank: ▲22%; Now £33k
Headcount: ▲40%; Now 14
Deferred income: ▲23%; Now £21.5k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £120k

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