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: ▲5%; Now £9m
Cash at bank: 0%; Now £50
Headcount: ▲33%; Now 4
Deferred income: ▲29%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £13.8m

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