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: ▼67%; Now £3.1k
Cash at bank: ▼4%; Now £18k
Headcount: 0%; Now 1
Deferred income: ▲1026%; Now £1.5k
Fixed assets: ▲21%; Now £47

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