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: ▼15%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▼21%; Now £719k
Headcount: ▲16%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▲8%; Now £292k
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £2.3m

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