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: ▲3%; Now £15.9m
Cash at bank: ▼54%; Now £608k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 183
Deferred income: ▼54%; Now £259k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £21.1m

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