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: ▲23%; Now £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▲90%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 171
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £10.2m
Fixed assets: ▲153%; Now £3.1m

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