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: ▼12%; Now £4.9m
Cash at bank: ▲68%; Now £146k
Headcount: 0%; Now 3
Deferred income: ▼17%; Now £4.5k

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