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: ▼52%; Now £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▲137%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▲838%; Now £727k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £211k

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