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 £1.8m
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £839k
Headcount: ▲20%; Now 6
Deferred income: ▲28%; Now £169k
Fixed assets: ▼84%; Now £447

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