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: ▲27%; Now £8.1m
Cash at bank: ▲130%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▲34%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £786k

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