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: ▲16%; Now £6.3m
Cash at bank: ▲70%; Now £4.2m
Headcount: ▲9%; Now 142
Deferred income: ▲2%; Now £228k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £1.3m
