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 £236k
Headcount: —; Now 79
Deferred income: —; Now £191k
Fixed assets: —; Now £218k

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