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 £59.4m
Cash at bank: ▼53%; Now £3.5m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 129
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £2.2m
Fixed assets: ▲17%; Now £21.5m

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