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: ▲7%; Now £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▼5%; Now £443k
Headcount: ▲12%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▲14%; Now £151k
Fixed assets: ▲27%; Now £538k

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