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: ▲2%; Now £10.7m
Cash at bank: ▲29%; Now £8.5m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 264
Deferred income: ▲37%; Now £10m
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £1.2m

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