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 £8.2m
Cash at bank: ▲15%; Now £31.3m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 148
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £716k
Fixed assets: ▲632%; Now £3.7m

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