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 £7.4m
Cash at bank: ▼51%; Now £474k
Headcount: ▲21%; Now 82
Deferred income: ▼45%; Now £139k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £718k

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