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: ▲5%; Now £1.4m
Cash at bank: ▼77%; Now £51.6k
Headcount: ▲56%; Now 218
Deferred income: ▲10%; Now £274k
