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: ▲80%; Now £3.6m
Cash at bank: ▲13%; Now £1.3m
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 410
Deferred income: ▼27%; Now £841k
