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: ▲2%; Now £6.6m
Cash at bank: ▲30%; Now £707k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 134
Deferred income: ▼24%; Now £2.1m
Fixed assets: ▲25%; Now £18.4k

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