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: ▲10%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▼60%; Now £133k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 39
Deferred income: ▼41%; Now £610k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £2.5m

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