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: ▲1%; Now £3.4m
Cash at bank: ▲17%; Now £288k
Headcount: 0%; Now 174
Deferred income: ▲26%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £2.2m

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