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: ▼10%; Now £1.5m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 58
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £1.2m
Fixed assets: ▼48%; Now £49.2k

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