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: ▲15%; Now £27.8m
Cash at bank: ▼3%; Now £17.4m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 104
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £25.2m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £6.2m

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