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: ▲0%; Now £8.8m
Cash at bank: ▼29%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 90
Deferred income: 0%; Now £274k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £3.5m

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