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: ▼1%; Now £45.7m
Cash at bank: ▼34%; Now £23.2m
Headcount: 0%; Now 47
Deferred income: ▼74%; Now £630k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £69.2m

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