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: ▲9%; Now £43.1m
Cash at bank: ▼14%; Now £11.4m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 80
Deferred income: ▼22%; Now £696k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £220m

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