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: ▲22%; Now £11.4m
Cash at bank: ▲105%; Now £719k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 81
Deferred income: ▲660%; Now £382k

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