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: ▼1%; Now £1.4m
Cash at bank: ▲201%; Now £700k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 87
Deferred income: ▲441%; Now £2.5m
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £6.7m

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