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: ▲15%; Now £7.3m
Cash at bank: ▲25%; Now £1.1m
Headcount: 0%; Now 37
Deferred income: ▲136%; Now £360k
Fixed assets: ▲18%; Now £899k

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