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: ▼18%; Now £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼74%; Now £144k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 57
Deferred income: ▼12%; Now £247k
Fixed assets: ▲10%; Now £880k

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