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 £8.5m
Cash at bank: ▼7%; Now £740k
Headcount: ▼19%; Now 107
Deferred income: ▲56%; Now £247k
Fixed assets: ▲38%; Now £816k

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