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: ▼29%; Now £21.5m
Cash at bank: ▲162%; Now £6.9m
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 646
Deferred income: ▼42%; Now £1.5m

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