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: —; Now −£47.6k
Cash at bank: ▲39%; Now £25.1k
Headcount: ▲20%; Now 30
Deferred income: 0%; Now £55.5k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £1.4k

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