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: ▲9%; Now £11.4m
Cash at bank: ▲63%; Now £4.9m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 278
Deferred income: ▲137%; Now £1.8m

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