About these figures
Turnover
Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.

What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
Net assets, or total equity
Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.

Cash at bank
Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
Owed within a year, owed after a year
