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 £7.3m
Cash at bank: ▲98%; Now £209k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 12
Deferred income: ▲24%; Now £161k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £127k

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