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: ▲17%; Now £6.8m
Cash at bank: ▼45%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲14%; Now 149
Deferred income: ▼34%; Now £1.7m
Fixed assets: ▲111%; Now £3.1m

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