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: ▼37%; Now £3.2m
Cash at bank: ▼54%; Now £308k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 63
Deferred income: ▼30%; Now £210k
Fixed assets: ▲96%; Now £1.4m

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