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: ▼15%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼34%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 32
Deferred income: ▼4%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £403k

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