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: ▲13%; Now £72.2m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £50.8m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 765
Deferred income: ▲23%; Now £8.8m
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £4.6m

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