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: ▲5%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲109%; Now £661k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £400k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £1.2m

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