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: ▲26%; Now £15.6m
Cash at bank: ▼58%; Now £544k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 202
Deferred income: ▲32%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £1.7m

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