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: ▲7%; Now £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼64%; Now £132k
Headcount: ▲33%; Now 64
Deferred income: ▲10%; Now £1.7m
Fixed assets: ▲18%; Now £2.3m

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