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 £4.8m
Cash at bank: ▲25%; Now £626k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 162
Deferred income: ▼49%; Now £191k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £743k

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