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: ▼64%; Now £436k
Cash at bank: ▲54%; Now £840k
Headcount: ▼13%; Now 119
Deferred income: ▲33%; Now £791k
Fixed assets: ▼49%; Now £23k

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