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: ▲10%; Now £28.2m
Cash at bank: ▼9%; Now £5.7m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 342
Deferred income: ▼19%; Now £361k
Fixed assets: ▲16%; Now £19.4m

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