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: ▲24%; Now £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▲33%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 200
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £445k
Fixed assets: ▲16%; Now £3.8m

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