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: ▼35%; Now £37.4m
Cash at bank: ▼41%; Now £21.3m
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 32
Deferred income: ▲771%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £747k

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