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: ▼1%; Now £10.6m
Cash at bank: ▼5%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 144
Deferred income: ▼10%; Now £896k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £3m

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