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: ▲47%; Now £735k
Cash at bank: ▼29%; Now £130k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 136
Deferred income: ▲10%; Now £804k
Fixed assets: ▲40%; Now £680k

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