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: ▲4%; Now £43.2m
Cash at bank: ▲78%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 400
Deferred income: ▼21%; Now £682k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £2.4m

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