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: ▲1%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▲54%; Now £117k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 44
Deferred income: ▼13%; Now £233k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £521k

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