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: ▼29%; Now £2.8m
Cash at bank: ▼44%; Now £1.8m
Headcount: ▼18%; Now 54
Deferred income: ▲9%; Now £1.4m
Fixed assets: ▼19%; Now £63.6k
