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: ▲464%; Now £571k
Cash at bank: ▼65%; Now £210k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▲106%; Now £247k
Fixed assets: ▼26%; Now £32k

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