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 £14.5m
Cash at bank: ▲13%; Now £305k
Headcount: ▼19%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▼83%; Now £771k
Fixed assets: ▼42%; Now £28.9k

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