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: ▲10%; Now £23.3m
Cash at bank: ▼1%; Now £5.4m
Headcount: 0%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▼27%; Now £8k
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £10.9m

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