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: ▲19%; Now £14.4m
Cash at bank: ▲170%; Now £7.6m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 262
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £2.1m
Fixed assets: ▲40%; Now £2.4m

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