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: ▲25%; Now £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▲203%; Now £906k
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £361k
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £88.6k

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