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: ▲11%; Now £3.5m
Cash at bank: ▼23%; Now £147k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▼26%; Now £366k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £609k

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