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: ▼99%; Now £128k
Cash at bank: ▼77%; Now £974k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 80
Deferred income: ▲197%; Now £2.6m
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £1.3m

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