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: ▼3%; Now £15.9m
Cash at bank: ▼33%; Now £562k
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 55
Deferred income: ▼68%; Now £47.3k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £4.9m

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