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: ▲95%; Now £2.3m
Cash at bank: ▼30%; Now £1.4m
Headcount: ▲26%; Now 24
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £3.7m
Fixed assets: ▲2%; Now £147k

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