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: ▼9%; Now £3m
Cash at bank: ▲59%; Now £166k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▲9%; Now £782k
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £808k

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