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: ▲7%; Now £9.3m
Cash at bank: ▲13%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 113
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £2.1m
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £3.1m

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