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: ▲1%; Now £4m
Cash at bank: ▼24%; Now £169k
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 84
Deferred income: ▲129%; Now £444k
Fixed assets: ▲7%; Now £9.2m
