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: ▲6%; Now £3.5m
Cash at bank: ▲52%; Now £751k
Headcount: 0%; Now 24
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £197k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £325k

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