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: ▼3%; Now £8.3m
Cash at bank: ▲15%; Now £57.5k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 94
Deferred income: ▼27%; Now £663k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £23m

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