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: ▲34%; Now £20.9m
Cash at bank: ▲59%; Now £3.4k
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 61
Deferred income: ▲155%; Now £924k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £15.4m

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