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: ▲373%; Now £158k
Headcount: ▼19%; Now 92
Deferred income: ▲4%; Now £225k
Fixed assets: ▼90%; Now £419k

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