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: ▲32%; Now £790k
Cash at bank: ▲246%; Now £713k
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 93
Deferred income: ▲807%; Now £462k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £1.8m

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