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: ▲7%; Now £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▲24%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▲25%; Now £229k
Fixed assets: ▼22%; Now £478k

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