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: ▼81%; Now £877k
Cash at bank: ▲171%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▲114%; Now 600
Deferred income: ▲678%; Now £50.6k
Fixed assets: ▲297%; Now £463k

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