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: ▲94%; Now £4.3m
Cash at bank: ▲173%; Now £792k
Headcount: ▲8%; Now 67
Deferred income: ▼70%; Now £180k
Fixed assets: ▼26%; Now £116k
