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: ▲1%; Now £18.3m
Cash at bank: ▼58%; Now £592k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 198
Deferred income: ▼12%; Now £225k
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £10m

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