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: ▲7%; Now £5.7m
Cash at bank: ▼44%; Now £88.4k
Headcount: 0%; Now 113
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £651k
Fixed assets: ▲17%; Now £791k

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