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: ▼53%; Now £959k
Cash at bank: ▼1%; Now £447k
Headcount: ▼4%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▲16%; Now £660k
Fixed assets: ▼57%; Now £62.6k

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