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 £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▼50%; Now £38k
Headcount: 0%; Now 65
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £271k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £1.1m

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