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 £7.6m
Cash at bank: ▲210%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 79
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £62.8k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £3.5m

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