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: ▲54%; Now £80.8k
Cash at bank: ▼14%; Now £609k
Headcount: ▼25%; Now 282
Deferred income: ▼36%; Now £174k
Fixed assets: ▼21%; Now £7.7k

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