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: ▲55%; Now £2.1m
Cash at bank: ▲40%; Now £845k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 277
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £6.6m

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