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: ▲46%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▼5%; Now £2.1m
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▼21%; Now £1.7m
Fixed assets: ▲107%; Now £1.6m

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