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: ▼26%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲264%; Now £3.3m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 192
Deferred income: ▲36%; Now £2.9m
Fixed assets: ▼78%; Now £321k

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