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: ▲67%; Now £6.8m
Cash at bank: ▲60%; Now £7.6m
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 105
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £7.2m
Fixed assets: ▼21%; Now £347k

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