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: ▲12%; Now £8.9m
Cash at bank: ▲4%; Now £566k
Headcount: ▲22%; Now 128
Deferred income: ▲29%; Now £35.9k
