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: ▼38%; Now £501k
Headcount: ▼14%; Now 51
Deferred income: ▲148%; Now £294k
Fixed assets: ▼15%; Now £1.4m

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