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: ▼5%; Now £52.8m
Cash at bank: ▼19%; Now £151k
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 12
Deferred income: ▲210%; Now £87k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £5.2m

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