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: ▼7%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲154%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 33
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £285k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £3.5m

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