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: —; Now −£3.4m
Cash at bank: ▲755%; Now £916k
Headcount: ▼23%; Now 114
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £420k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £5.4m

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