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: ▼7%; Now £8.7m
Cash at bank: ▼58%; Now £135k
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▲19%; Now £379k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £2.5m

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