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 £11.6m
Cash at bank: ▼65%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 286
Deferred income: ▼48%; Now £1.9m
Fixed assets: ▲22%; Now £3.4m

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