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 £33.7m
Cash at bank: ▲64%; Now £615k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 711
Deferred income: ▼82%; Now £610k
Fixed assets: ▲28%; Now £45.3m

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