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 £4.6m
Cash at bank: ▲17%; Now £23.6m
Headcount: 0%; Now 1
Deferred income: ▼93%; Now £18.5k

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