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 £12.1m
Cash at bank: ▼80%; Now £212k
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 81
Deferred income: ▼51%; Now £103k
Fixed assets: ▼6%; Now £3.8m

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