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: ▼2%; Now £268k
Headcount: ▼20%; Now 4
Deferred income: ▲56%; Now £130k

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