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: ▼64%; Now £200k
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 66
Deferred income: —; Now £3.4k
Fixed assets: ▲375007%; Now £1.1m

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