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 £7.5m
Cash at bank: ▲513%; Now £379k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 82
Deferred income: ▲57%; Now £157k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £2.6m

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