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: ▼10%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▼36%; Now £1.7m
Headcount: ▲160%; Now 52
Deferred income: ▼61%; Now £65k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £1.9m

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