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: ▲6%; Now £16m
Cash at bank: ▲171%; Now £6.2m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £437k
Fixed assets: ▼37%; Now £5m

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