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: ▼19%; Now £6m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 272
Deferred income: ▼15%; Now £367k
Fixed assets: ▲4%; Now £1.7m

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