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: ▼10%; Now £2m
Cash at bank: ▲881%; Now £24.1k
Headcount: ▼6%; Now 29
Deferred income: ▲62%; Now £208k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £1.4m

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