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: ▼31%; Now £17.7m
Cash at bank: ▲229%; Now £5.8m
Headcount: ▲20%; Now 147
Deferred income: ▼3%; Now £9.3m
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £55.2m

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