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: ▲1%; Now £37m
Cash at bank: ▼95%; Now £26.9k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 285
Deferred income: —; Now £2.7m
Fixed assets: ▲20%; Now £37.8m

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