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: ▼3%; Now £613k
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 19
Deferred income: ▼8%; Now £77.1k
Fixed assets: ▼7%; Now £1.6m

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