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: ▲12%; Now £5m
Cash at bank: ▲138%; Now £2.3m
Headcount: ▼55%; Now 5
Deferred income: ▼2%; Now £737k
Fixed assets: ▼43%; Now £9.2k

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