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: ▲486%; Now £2.4m
Cash at bank: ▲4993%; Now £515k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 33
Deferred income: ▼12%; Now £58.4k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £170k

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