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: ▲20%; Now £1.9m
Cash at bank: ▲538%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 44
Deferred income: ▲64%; Now £1.7m
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £281k

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