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 £2.2m
Cash at bank: ▼6%; Now £3.3m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 13
Deferred income: ▲4%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼29%; Now £13.2k

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