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: ▲17%; Now £2.2m
Cash at bank: ▲115%; Now £366k
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 60
Deferred income: ▲43%; Now £13.8k
Fixed assets: ▲80%; Now £1.1m

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