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: ▼19%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▼49%; Now £46.3k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 63
Deferred income: ▲25%; Now £529k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £891k

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