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: ▼36%; Now £1.5m
Cash at bank: ▲130%; Now £553k
Headcount: 0%; Now 80
Deferred income: ▲101%; Now £992k
Fixed assets: ▲14%; Now £2.2m

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