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 £8.4m
Cash at bank: ▲7%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 216
Deferred income: ▲35%; Now £810k
Fixed assets: ▼22%; Now £1.9m

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