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: ▲3%; Now £37.2m
Cash at bank: ▼39%; Now £9.6m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 1,913
Deferred income: ▼21%; Now £5.8m

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