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: ▲49%; Now £6.7m
Cash at bank: ▲96%; Now £5.2m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £960k
Fixed assets: ▲31%; Now £723k

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