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: ▲3%; Now £13.1m
Cash at bank: ▲781%; Now £2.7m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 108
Deferred income: ▼27%; Now £71.2k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £18.3m

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