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: ▲16%; Now £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▲80%; Now £882k
Headcount: 0%; Now 10
Deferred income: ▲5%; Now £46.5k
Fixed assets: ▼4%; Now £3.8m

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