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 £2.1m
Cash at bank: ▼19%; Now £395k
Headcount: ▼1%; Now 197
Deferred income: ▲34%; Now £451k
Fixed assets: ▼20%; Now £1.5m
