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: ▼17%; Now £2.6m
Cash at bank: ▲34%; Now £283k
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 86
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £34.4k
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £1.7m

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