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 £4.1m
Cash at bank: ▼92%; Now £53k
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 65
Deferred income: ▲173%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £621k

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