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: ▼6%; Now £637k
Headcount: ▲26%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▼17%; Now £802k
Fixed assets: ▲107%; Now £906k

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