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: —; Now −£15.6m
Cash at bank: ▼32%; Now £58.3k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 35
Deferred income: ▼30%; Now £449k
Fixed assets: ▲70%; Now £436k

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