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: ▲10%; Now £7.1m
Cash at bank: ▲242%; Now £5.2m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 94
Deferred income: ▼37%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £6.7m

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