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: ▲8%; Now £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▼9%; Now £3.4m
Headcount: ▲12%; Now 102
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▲530%; Now £87.5k

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