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: ▼66%; Now £2.5m
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £139k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 101
Deferred income: ▲118%; Now £3.1m
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £1.3m

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