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: ▲12%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▲57%; Now £3.4m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 30
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £120k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £1.3m

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