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: ▼3%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▲59%; Now £405k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▼24%; Now £286k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £3.4m

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