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: ▲9%; Now £8m
Cash at bank: ▼0%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 52
Deferred income: ▼38%; Now £1m
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £3.7m

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