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: —; Now −£4.1m
Cash at bank: ▼99%; Now £3k
Headcount: ▼65%; Now 11
Deferred income: ▲19%; Now £277k
Fixed assets: ▼47%; Now £746k

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