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: ▲6%; Now £13.1m
Cash at bank: ▼25%; Now £3.1k
Headcount: ▼8%; Now 11
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £808k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £538k

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