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: ▲8%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▲872%; Now £800k
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▲491%; Now £490k
Fixed assets: ▼73%; Now £38.7k

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