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: ▼2%; Now £11.6m
Cash at bank: ▲30%; Now £872k
Headcount: 0%; Now 125
Deferred income: ▼47%; Now £350k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £662k

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