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: ▼1%; Now £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▼99%; Now £8.6k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 109
Deferred income: ▲15%; Now £972k
Fixed assets: ▼13%; Now £3.1m

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