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: ▼7%; Now £6.1m
Cash at bank: ▲229%; Now £720k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 106
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £357k
Fixed assets: ▲0%; Now £6m

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