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: ▲14%; Now £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▲24%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▼14%; Now 80
Deferred income: ▼24%; Now £485k
Fixed assets: ▼63%; Now £285k

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