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: —; Now −£2.9m
Cash at bank: ▲84%; Now £81.9k
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▲168%; Now £1.8m
Fixed assets: ▲15%; Now £1.2m

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