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: ▼12%; Now £7.7m
Cash at bank: ▼56%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▲11%; Now £46.5k
Fixed assets: ▲19%; Now £6.8m

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