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: ▼20%; Now £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▲31%; Now £881k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 449
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £708k
Fixed assets: ▼24%; Now £468k

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