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 £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▼43%; Now £22.3k
Headcount: ▼15%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▼39%; Now £62.2k
Fixed assets: ▲39%; Now £152k

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