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: ▼2%; Now £8.9m
Cash at bank: ▼18%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 74
Deferred income: ▼32%; Now £131k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £4.7m

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