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: ▲2%; Now £5.3m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £250k
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 86
Deferred income: ▼52%; Now £70.6k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £3.4m

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