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: ▲10%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▼62%; Now £215k
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 41
Deferred income: ▲33%; Now £309k
Fixed assets: ▲104%; Now £3.5m

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