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: ▼5%; Now £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▲441%; Now £146k
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 76
Deferred income: ▼78%; Now £33.6k
Fixed assets: ▲37%; Now £2.8m

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