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: ▲9%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲9%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 49
Deferred income: ▲72%; Now £395k
Fixed assets: ▼31%; Now £77.4k

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