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: ▼15%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▼12%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▲8%; Now £140k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £1.4m

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