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: ▲4%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▼71%; Now £46.5k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 157
Deferred income: ▼19%; Now £56.3k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £1m

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