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: ▲10%; Now £9.7m
Cash at bank: ▲19%; Now £12.2m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 76
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £213k
Fixed assets: ▲5%; Now £2.6m

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