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: ▲6%; Now £3.9m
Cash at bank: ▲318%; Now £634k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 152
Deferred income: ▲143%; Now £1.7m
Fixed assets: ▲29%; Now £2m

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