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.

Cash at bank: ▼13%; Now £12.7m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 39
Deferred income: 0%; Now £1.2k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £7.2m

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