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: ▼448%; Now −£1.2m
Cash at bank: ▼11%; Now £48.9k
Headcount: 0%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▼83%; Now £124k
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £764k

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