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: ▼42%; Now £15.5m
Cash at bank: ▲90%; Now £286k
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 83
Deferred income: ▼94%; Now £43.2k
Fixed assets: ▼21%; Now £441k
