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: ▲4%; Now £7.7m
Cash at bank: ▲62%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲59%; Now £10.9k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £8.1m

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