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 £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▲99%; Now £300k
Headcount: ▼14%; Now 42
Deferred income: ▲27%; Now £194k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £1.2m

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