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: ▲67%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £0
Headcount: ▲20%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▼68%; Now £672k
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £5.5m

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