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: ▲6%; Now £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▲72%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 52
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £823k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £2.4m

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