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

- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities

- Cash at bank
- Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
- Owed within a year, owed after a year
- Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.
