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: ▲5%; Now £55.6m
Cash at bank: ▲8%; Now £8.4m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 172
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £3.5m
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £45.5m

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