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: ▼154%; Now −£245k
Cash at bank: ▲121%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▼12%; Now £640k
Fixed assets: ▼63%; Now £1.2m

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