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 £7.8m
Cash at bank: ▲36%; Now £509k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 51
Deferred income: —; Now £75.9k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £2.5m

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