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: —; Now £523k
Headcount: —; Now 20
Deferred income: —; Now £28.9k
Fixed assets: —; Now £36.7k

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