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: ▼4%; Now £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▲6%; Now £573k
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 140
Deferred income: ▲24%; Now £2.5m
Fixed assets: ▼38%; Now £201k

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