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 £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▼26%; Now £1.2m
Headcount: 0%; Now 121
Deferred income: ▼21%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▲3%; Now £22.4m

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