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: ▲21%; Now £8.2m
Cash at bank: ▲119%; Now £3.6m
Headcount: ▲10%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▲76%; Now £135k
Fixed assets: ▲11%; Now £8.6m
