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 £900k
Cash at bank: ▲4386%; Now £6.1k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 27
Deferred income: ▲18%; Now £176k
Fixed assets: ▲341%; Now £1.7m

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