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: ▲43%; Now £3m
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £102
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 88
Deferred income: ▲90%; Now £102k
Fixed assets: ▼59%; Now £2.1m

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