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.

Net assets: ▲1%; Now £658k
Cash at bank: ▲14%; Now £204k
Headcount: 0%; Now 27
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▲16%; Now £166k
