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: ▲7%; Now £110k
Cash at bank: ▼57%; Now £1.5k
Headcount: 0%; Now 4
Deferred income: ▼72%; Now £1.5k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £481k

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