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: ▲12%; Now £4.8m
Cash at bank: ▲19%; Now £285k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 160
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £341k
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £3.1m

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