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: ▲19%; Now £4.1m
Cash at bank: ▲1%; Now £4k
Headcount: ▲7%; Now 178
Deferred income: ▲112%; Now £110k
Fixed assets: ▲9%; Now £110k
