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 £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▲4%; Now £862k
Headcount: ▲0%; Now 274
Deferred income: ▼9%; Now £2.3m
Fixed assets: ▲8921%; Now £2.7m

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