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: ▼0%; Now £2m
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 45
Deferred income: ▲80%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲328%; Now £62.9k

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