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: ▲3%; Now £3.8m
Cash at bank: ▼12%; Now £1.9m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 22
Deferred income: ▲1887%; Now £51.9k
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £800k

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