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: ▲22%; Now £5.2m
Cash at bank: ▼87%; Now £116k
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 180
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £426k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £825k

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