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: ▼8%; Now £28.1m
Cash at bank: ▲45%; Now £8.1m
Headcount: ▲2%; Now 368
Deferred income: ▲27%; Now £1.8m
Fixed assets: ▲0%; Now £23.8m
