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: ▲147%; Now £5.4m
Cash at bank: ▲310%; Now £2.7m
Headcount: 0%; Now 30
Deferred income: ▲30%; Now £570k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £882k

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