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: ▼38%; Now £789k
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £280k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▼10%; Now £22.6k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £551k

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