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: ▲29%; Now £960k
Cash at bank: ▼43%; Now £385k
Headcount: 0%; Now 7
Deferred income: 0%; Now £6.5k
Fixed assets: ▲167%; Now £371k

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