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: ▲3%; Now £4.7m
Cash at bank: ▼57%; Now £233k
Headcount: 0%; Now 108
Deferred income: ▼63%; Now £132k
Fixed assets: ▲70%; Now £761k
