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: ▲187%; Now £358k
Cash at bank: ▲587%; Now £3.3m
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 107
Deferred income: ▲3735%; Now £7m
Fixed assets: ▲13%; Now £10.2k

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