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 £9.3m
Cash at bank: ▼93%; Now £7k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 46
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £533k
Fixed assets: ▼22%; Now £1.2m

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