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 £10.1m
Cash at bank: ▲166%; Now £6.2m
Headcount: —; Now 2
Deferred income: ▼77%; Now £40.5k
Fixed assets: —; Now £4k

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