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: ▲974%; Now £1.2m
Cash at bank: ▲8%; Now £822k
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 82
Deferred income: ▼44%; Now £2.3m
Fixed assets: ▼87%; Now £2.8k

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