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: ▲18%; Now £6.1m
Cash at bank: ▲65%; Now £3.5m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 51
Deferred income: ▼36%; Now £162k
Fixed assets: ▼23%; Now £455k

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