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: ▼50%; Now £1.1m
Cash at bank: ▼54%; Now £47.2k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 71
Deferred income: 0%; Now £10k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £6.4m

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