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.

Cash at bank: ▼55%; Now £303k
Headcount: 0%; Now 39
Deferred income: ▼6%; Now £4m
Fixed assets: ▲6%; Now £4.7m
