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: ▲6%; Now £4.7m
Cash at bank: ▼15%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £134k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £123k

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