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: ▼10%; Now £5.6m
Cash at bank: ▼29%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: ▲17%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▲13%; Now £3m
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £4.3m

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