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: ▲10%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲181%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 41
Deferred income: ▲112%; Now £791k
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £377k

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