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
- ▲3%
- Now £4.9m
- Cash at bank
- ▼29%
- Now £1.6m
- Headcount
- ▼4%
- Now 22
- Deferred income

- Fixed assets

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