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: ▲2%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▼37%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 141
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £478k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £3m

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