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: ▼17%; Now £584k
Cash at bank: ▼57%; Now £201k
Headcount: 0%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▼55%; Now £30.9k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £694k

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