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: ▼134%; Now −£1m
Cash at bank: ▼28%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 185
Deferred income: ▲91%; Now £2.3m
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £27.6m

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