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: ▲21%; Now £16.4m
Cash at bank: ▲56%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▼9%; Now £745k
Fixed assets: ▲18%; Now £2.2m

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