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: ▼5%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▼67%; Now £161k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲111%; Now £401k
Fixed assets: ▲49%; Now £461k

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