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: ▲9%; Now £5.3m
Cash at bank: ▼8%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▲79%; Now £110k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £508k

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