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: ▲471%; Now £11m
Cash at bank: ▲116%; Now £59.9k
Headcount: 0%; Now 4
Deferred income: ▲89%; Now £41.5k
Fixed assets: ▼0%; Now £1.7m

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