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: ▲11%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲94%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 35
Deferred income: ▲45%; Now £422k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £193k

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