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: ▼23%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▲551%; Now £514k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 96
Deferred income: ▲30%; Now £96.2k
Fixed assets: ▼9%; Now £2m

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