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: ▲3%; Now £3.1m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £2.3m
Headcount: ▲11%; Now 62
Deferred income: 0%; Now £20k
Fixed assets: ▲23%; Now £842k

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