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: ▲0%; Now £21.3m
Cash at bank: ▲1%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: ▲15%; Now 431
Deferred income: ▼11%; Now £2.4m
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £5.8m
