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: ▼4%; Now £6.5m
Cash at bank: ▲784%; Now £866k
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 82
Deferred income: ▼42%; Now £504k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £6.6m

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