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: ▼15%; Now £5.9m
Cash at bank: ▲160%; Now £1m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 211
Deferred income: ▲47%; Now £482k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £525k

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