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: ▼6%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▼94%; Now £386k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 256
Deferred income: ▲47%; Now £1.3m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £1.8m

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