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 £957k
Cash at bank: ▲128%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▲57%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▲105%; Now £675k
Fixed assets: ▼44%; Now £308k

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