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: —; Now −£10.8m
Cash at bank: ▲25%; Now £919k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▼68%; Now £430k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £109k

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