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: ▲3%; Now £7.9m
Cash at bank: ▼2%; Now £10m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 14
Deferred income: ▲10%; Now £4.4m
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £1.8m

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