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: ▲0%; Now £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▲228%; Now £2.4m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▲34%; Now £109k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £3.8m

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