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: ▲8%; Now £5.7m
Cash at bank: ▼16%; Now £566k
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 31
Deferred income: ▲6%; Now £151k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £681k

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