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: ▼51%; Now £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▲86%; Now £431k
Headcount: 0%; Now 106
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £7.2m
Fixed assets: ▼40%; Now £377k

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