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 £8.3m
Cash at bank: ▲352%; Now £129k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 130
Deferred income: ▼20%; Now £284k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £8.9m

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