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: ▲9%; Now £29m
Cash at bank: ▼27%; Now £2.9m
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 113
Deferred income: ▼26%; Now £180k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £9.1m

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