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: ▲38%; Now £91.8m
Cash at bank: ▲174%; Now £23.8m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £12.6m
Fixed assets: ▲105%; Now £90m

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