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: ▲18%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▼33%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▲29%; Now £667k
Fixed assets: ▲536%; Now £205k

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