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: ▼43%; Now £8.4m
Cash at bank: ▼73%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 150
Deferred income: ▼33%; Now £464k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £3.4m

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