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: ▲9%; Now £26.7m
Cash at bank: ▲363%; Now £5m
Headcount: ▲25%; Now 266
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £794k
Fixed assets: ▲0%; Now £23.1m
