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: ▲6%; Now £10.2m
Cash at bank: ▼99%; Now £15.5k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 82
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £397k
Fixed assets: ▲26%; Now £12.5m

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