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 £10.8m
Cash at bank: ▲31%; Now £780k
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 42
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £418k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £195k

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