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 £10.7m
Cash at bank: ▼88%; Now £48.6k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 65
Deferred income: ▼14%; Now £207k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £1.8m

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