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: ▲53%; Now £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▼1%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: 0%; Now 2
Deferred income: ▼23%; Now £57k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £2.7m

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