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: ▼165%; Now −£2.6m
Cash at bank: ▲3758%; Now £356k
Headcount: ▲15500%; Now 156
Deferred income: ▲100%; Now £93.1k

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