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: ▲3%; Now £1.9m
Cash at bank: ▲37%; Now £512k
Headcount: ▲19%; Now 19
Deferred income: ▲257%; Now £474k
Fixed assets: ▼24%; Now £798k
