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: ▲4%; Now £10.6m
Cash at bank: ▼20%; Now £5.7m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 17
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £403k
Fixed assets: ▼29%; Now £204k

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