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: ▲37%; Now £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▲95%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: ▼33%; Now 73
Deferred income: ▼40%; Now £1.5m
Fixed assets: ▼29%; Now £1.7m

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