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: ▼21%; Now £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▼86%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: ▲44%; Now 13
Deferred income: ▼1%; Now £50.1k
Fixed assets: ▲123%; Now £48.8k

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