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.

Cash at bank: ▼39%; Now £2.5m
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 115
Deferred income: ▼5%; Now £4.9m
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £4.7m
