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 £58.4k
Cash at bank: ▲77%; Now £119k
Headcount: ▲100%; Now 2
Deferred income: ▲675%; Now £9k
Fixed assets: ▼100%; Now £0

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