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.

- Now £2.8m
- Cash at bank
- ▼88%
- Now £25.4k
- Headcount
- 0%
- Now 37

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