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: ▲253%; Now £5.9m
Cash at bank: ▲275%; Now £800k
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 483
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £359k
Fixed assets: ▲23%; Now £4.3m

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