Leases |
|
|
Leases are classified as finance leases when they transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets to the company. Other leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets to the company are classified as operating leases. |
|
|
Payments applicable to operating leases are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
|
Taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. |
|
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods based on current tax rates and laws. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. |

SECURED DEBTS |
|
|
The company has granted a debenture in favour of Barclays Bank PLC, comprising fixed and floating charges over the company’s assets, as security for the bank borrowings of its parent company. The company itself has no direct borrowings with the bank. |
|
| 11 |
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
|
|
The company has entered into a cross‑guarantee arrangement with its parent company, G C Interiors Construction Limited, in respect of bank borrowings held by the parent. Under the terms of this arrangement, the company has guaranteed the repayment of the parent company’s bank loan facilities. No liability has been recognised in these financial statements as the directors consider that the likelihood of the guarantee being called is remote. |
