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: ▲1508%; Now £383k
Cash at bank: ▲102%; Now £466k
Headcount: ▲13%; Now 9
Deferred income: ▲54%; Now £52.9k
Fixed assets: ▲1429%; Now £119k

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