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: ▲1%; Now £30.5m
Cash at bank: ▲376%; Now £8.3m
Headcount: ▼0%; Now 283
Deferred income: ▲12%; Now £3.5m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £28.4m

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