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: ▲14%; Now £6.4m
Cash at bank: ▲4%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £59.1k
Fixed assets: ▲30%; Now £1.8m

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