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: ▲0%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 174
Deferred income: ▼18%; Now £150k
Fixed assets: ▲1%; Now £2.2m

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