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: ▼7%; Now £3.3m
Cash at bank: ▼51%; Now £512k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 160
Deferred income: ▲21%; Now £224k
Fixed assets: ▲506%; Now £905k

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