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: ▲10%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▼68%; Now £853k
Headcount: ▼15%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £400k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £495k

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