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: ▼54%; Now £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▼16%; Now £18.8m
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 57
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £568k
Fixed assets: ▼24%; Now £186k

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