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 £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼18%; Now £32.6k
Headcount: 0%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▲29%; Now £246k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £5.5m

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