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 £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▲406%; Now £88.7k
Headcount: 0%; Now 66
Deferred income: ▲3%; Now £585k
Fixed assets: ▲32%; Now £610k

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