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: ▼0%; Now £4.4m
Cash at bank: ▼48%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £649k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £1.2m

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