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: ▲15%; Now £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £753k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 37
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £222k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £1.5m

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