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 £4.4m
Cash at bank: ▼5%; Now £3.4m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £7.8m
Fixed assets: ▲46%; Now £276k

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