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: ▼48%; Now £1.5m
Cash at bank: ▲3%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 89
Deferred income: ▼39%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £9.6m

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