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: ▲4%; Now £3.9m
Cash at bank: ▼22%; Now £11.6k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 128
Deferred income: ▲9%; Now £514k
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £3.7m

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