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: —; Now −£32.1m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 504
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £4.8m
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £6.8m

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