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: ▼6%; Now £6.6m
Cash at bank: ▲17%; Now £797k
Headcount: 0%; Now 19
Deferred income: ▲335%; Now £252k
Fixed assets: ▼10%; Now £966k

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