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 −£28.3m
Cash at bank: ▲373%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 380
Deferred income: ▲293%; Now £3.1m
Fixed assets: ▲27%; Now £1.7m

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