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: ▲78%; Now £2.6m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £4.1m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▲89%; Now £1.6m
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £404k

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