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: ▲49%; Now £5.2m
Cash at bank: ▼35%; Now £116k
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 169
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £734k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £2m

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