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: ▲1%; Now £25.2m
Cash at bank: ▲108%; Now £17.6m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £688k

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