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 £7m
Cash at bank: ▲119%; Now £368k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 41
Deferred income: 0%; Now £8.8k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £10.2m

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