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: ▲2%; Now £8.5m
Cash at bank: ▼32%; Now £2.6m
Headcount: ▲5%; Now 429
Deferred income: ▲60%; Now £2.2m
Fixed assets: ▲104275%; Now £5.3m
