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 −£27.2m
Cash at bank: ▲230%; Now £883k
Headcount: ▲34%; Now 227
Deferred income: ▼50%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £822k

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