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: ▲14%; Now £15.4m
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £683k
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 306
Deferred income: ▲38%; Now £5.1m
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £2.4m

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