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: ▲0%; Now £13.5m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £12.3m
Headcount: ▼22%; Now 47
Deferred income: ▲24%; Now £133k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £6.3m

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