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: ▼18%; Now £3.7m
Cash at bank: ▼82%; Now £140k
Headcount: 0%; Now 112
Deferred income: ▲877%; Now £434k
Fixed assets: ▼18%; Now £704k
