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: ▼10%; Now £835k
Headcount: ▲1%; Now 136
Deferred income: ▲52%; Now £322k
Fixed assets: ▲0%; Now £6.4m

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