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 £9.8m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £3.1m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 64
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £3.8m
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £6.9m

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