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: ▲13%; Now £7.8m
Cash at bank: ▼16%; Now £67.3k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 90
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £99.2k
Fixed assets: 0%; Now £2.7m

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