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: ▼44%; Now £952k
Cash at bank: ▼79%; Now £2.8k
Headcount: ▲3%; Now 76
Deferred income: ▲343%; Now £320k
Fixed assets: ▲28%; Now £858k

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