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 £8m
Cash at bank: ▲105%; Now £6.2m
Headcount: 0%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▲17%; Now £563k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £288k

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