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: ▼11%; Now £6m
Cash at bank: ▼81%; Now £124k
Headcount: ▲4%; Now 48
Deferred income: ▲162%; Now £372k
Fixed assets: ▲12%; Now £7.4m
