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: ▼26%; Now £18.3m
Cash at bank: ▼54%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 85
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £7.7m
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £7.1m

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