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: ▼22%; Now £4.2m
Cash at bank: ▼9%; Now £607k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 13
Deferred income: ▼23%; Now £307k
Fixed assets: ▲51%; Now £1.7m

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