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: ▲13%; Now £2.3m
Cash at bank: ▲53%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 71
Deferred income: ▲80%; Now £72.7k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £8m

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