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: ▲4%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▼13%; Now £530k
Headcount: ▲34%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £133k
Fixed assets: ▲56%; Now £9.9m

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