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 £4.1m
Cash at bank: ▼93%; Now £36.6k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £260k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £592k

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