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: ▲2%; Now £17.8m
Cash at bank: ▼24%; Now £5.3m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 106
Deferred income: ▲4%; Now £152k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £2.4m

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