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 £7m
Cash at bank: ▼48%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 106
Deferred income: ▲93%; Now £724k
Fixed assets: ▼38%; Now £1.2m

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