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: ▲16%; Now £13.2m
Cash at bank: ▲82%; Now £4.4m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 91
Deferred income: ▲374%; Now £109k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £9.4m

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