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: ▼7%; Now £3m
Cash at bank: ▼10%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 64
Deferred income: ▼29%; Now £134k
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £4.3m

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