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: ▲14%; Now £26m
Cash at bank: ▼15%; Now £8.3m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▼18%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £5.8m

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