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: ▼42%; Now £5.6m
Cash at bank: ▼59%; Now £93.5k
Headcount: ▲12%; Now 96
Deferred income: ▲19%; Now £871k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £16m

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