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: ▲8%; Now £31.4m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £9.5m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 188
Deferred income: ▲796%; Now £2.6m
Fixed assets: ▲19%; Now £3.8m

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