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 £2.6m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £729k
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▲148%; Now £820k
Fixed assets: ▼27%; Now £87.7k

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