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: ▼39%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▼84%; Now £168k
Headcount: ▼51%; Now 311
Deferred income: ▼58%; Now £66.3k
Fixed assets: ▼29%; Now £5.6k

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