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: ▲9%; Now £11.6m
Cash at bank: ▼39%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▲72%; Now £187k
Fixed assets: ▲19%; Now £3m

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