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: ▲9%; Now £2.6m
Cash at bank: ▲10%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: 0%; Now 7
Deferred income: ▼38%; Now £167k
Fixed assets: ▲195%; Now £3.1k

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