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: ▼18%; Now £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▼46%; Now £6.5k
Headcount: ▼22%; Now 62
Deferred income: ▼90%; Now £45.4k
Fixed assets: ▼22%; Now £701k

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