Indirect — not revenue

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: ▲14%; Now £43.8m
Cash at bank: ▲20%; Now £55.5m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 237
Deferred income: ▼18%; Now £2.9m
Fixed assets: ▲8%; Now £24.2m
