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: ▲2%; Now £6.2m
Cash at bank: —; Now —
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 34
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £536k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £136k

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