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: ▼13%; Now £1.6m
Cash at bank: ▲34%; Now £129k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 78
Deferred income: ▲89%; Now £2.4m
Fixed assets: ▼17%; Now £85.8k

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