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: ▲15%; Now £4.7m
Cash at bank: ▲661%; Now £465k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 71
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £148k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £584k

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