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: ▼5%; Now £2.9m
Cash at bank: ▼44%; Now £533k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 85
Deferred income: ▼80%; Now £40.9k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £1.6m

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