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: ▼20%; Now £6.6m
Cash at bank: ▼35%; Now £3.4m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 52
Deferred income: ▼38%; Now £196k
Fixed assets: ▲39%; Now £134k

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