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: ▲15%; Now £16m
Cash at bank: ▲41%; Now £7.7m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 167
Deferred income: ▲8%; Now £990k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £2.2m

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