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: ▲0%; Now £1.7m
Cash at bank: ▼35%; Now £161k
Headcount: 0%; Now 5
Deferred income: ▲19%; Now £1.3m
Fixed assets: ▲63%; Now £1.1k

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