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 £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▼12%; Now £715k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 106
Deferred income: ▼62%; Now £114k
Fixed assets: ▲54%; Now £352k

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