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: ▲32%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▲7%; Now £2m
Headcount: —; Now 2,024
Deferred income: ▼7%; Now £4.6m
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £17.4m

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