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: ▼26%; Now £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▲116%; Now £7.8m
Headcount: ▼22%; Now 153
Deferred income: ▲28%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼27%; Now £5m

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