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: ▲6%; Now £8.8m
Cash at bank: ▼12%; Now £4.5m
Headcount: 0%; Now 76
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £267k
Fixed assets: ▲38%; Now £5.2m

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