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: ▲22680%; Now £102k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 50
Deferred income: ▼9%; Now £50k
Fixed assets: ▼14%; Now £3.8m

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