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 £10.7m
Cash at bank: ▼50%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 74
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲8%; Now £4.2m

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