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: ▲13%; Now £21.3m
Cash at bank: ▼42%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 105
Deferred income: ▼62%; Now £172k
Fixed assets: ▼83%; Now £1.9m

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