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: ▲1%; Now £3.4m
Cash at bank: ▲70%; Now £3.5m
Headcount: ▼23%; Now 155
Deferred income: ▼46%; Now £71.9k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £447k

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