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: ▼5%; Now £2.7m
Cash at bank: ▲16%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 28
Deferred income: ▲856%; Now £313k
Fixed assets: ▼31%; Now £80.1k

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