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.

Cash at bank: ▼29%; Now £710k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 124
Deferred income: ▲246%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £305k

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