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: ▲3%; Now £18.6m
Cash at bank: ▲13061%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 81
Deferred income: ▲50%; Now £9.9m
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £2.3m

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