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 £5m
Cash at bank: ▼82%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 103
Deferred income: ▼41%; Now £5.6m
Fixed assets: ▲8%; Now £435k

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