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: ▲17%; Now £2m
Cash at bank: ▲37%; Now £340k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▲12%; Now £32.1k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £5.1m

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