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: —; Now £121k
Cash at bank: ▲577%; Now £140k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 73
Deferred income: ▲21%; Now £146k
