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: ▼24%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▲28%; Now £330k
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 222
Deferred income: ▲268%; Now £715k
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £11.5m

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