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: ▼14%; Now £6.4m
Cash at bank: ▲85%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: ▲20%; Now 186
Deferred income: ▼70%; Now £376k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £3m

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