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: ▼14%; Now £2.4m
Cash at bank: ▼6%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▲29%; Now £956k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £2m

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