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: ▲12%; Now £5m
Cash at bank: ▼13%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 26
Deferred income: ▼22%; Now £174k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £1.1m

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