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: ▲16%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £939
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▼9%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼12%; Now £74.3k

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