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: ▲18%; Now £1.3m
Cash at bank: ▲68%; Now £1.6m
Headcount: 0%; Now 51
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £793k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £793k

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