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: ▼8%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▼91%; Now £55.2k
Headcount: ▼11%; Now 32
Deferred income: ▼70%; Now £392k
Fixed assets: ▼2%; Now £3.9m

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