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: ▲28%; Now £2m
Cash at bank: ▲36%; Now £5m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▲21%; Now £6m
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £1.5m

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