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: ▼1%; Now £10.4m
Cash at bank: ▼45%; Now £107k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 20
Deferred income: ▼65%; Now £32.4k
Fixed assets: 0%; Now £7.9m

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