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: ▼53%; Now £713k
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £143
Headcount: ▼5%; Now 63
Deferred income: ▲69%; Now £1.3m
Fixed assets: ▼40%; Now £224k
