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: ▲5%; Now £7.4m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 47
Deferred income: ▼43%; Now £42.4k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £635k

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