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: ▼6%; Now £427k
Cash at bank: ▲4%; Now £574k
Headcount: 0%; Now 42
Deferred income: ▼28%; Now £73.2k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £4.9k

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