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: ▲1%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼35%; Now £37k
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 88
Deferred income: ▲18%; Now £327k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £693k

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