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.

Cash at bank: ▼14%; Now £2.1m
Headcount: ▼9%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▼7%; Now £144k
Fixed assets: ▼3%; Now £3m

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