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: ▼57%; Now £255k
Cash at bank: ▲1421%; Now £131k
Headcount: ▲79%; Now 25
Deferred income: ▲176%; Now £715k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £154k

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