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 £4.4m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: 0%; Now 51
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼29%; Now £32k

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