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: ▲8%; Now £18.8m
Cash at bank: ▲29%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 10
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £25.5m

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