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: ▼10%; Now £2.2m
Cash at bank: ▼6%; Now £7.3m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 101
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £6.4m
Fixed assets: ▼34%; Now £247k

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