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: ▲1684%; Now £1m
Cash at bank: ▲65%; Now £54.7k
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 109
Deferred income: ▲109%; Now £1.3m
Fixed assets: ▼11%; Now £4m

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