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 £5.8m
Cash at bank: ▼17%; Now £3.7m
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 131
Deferred income: ▲11%; Now £378k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £1.4m

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