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: ▼12%; Now £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £4.8m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 98
Deferred income: ▲4%; Now £325k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £525k

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