Accounting policies
Company information
Cordia UK (Nightingale) Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 22a Great Hampton Street, Birmingham, England, B18 6AA.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.
1.2
Going concern
Notwithstanding the loss for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the company has positive net assets at the year end. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The directors have assessed the ability of the company to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and this assessment indicates that the company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its indirect parent company, Cordia International SE to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.
1.3
Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.
Entities in which the company has a long term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.
1.4
Borrowing costs related to fixed assets
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
At the year end £478,505 of interest is included in work in progress.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
1.5
Stocks
Inventories are made up of land, options over land and associated planning and development costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Where it is determined that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred pre-development costs would be immediately expensed.
At each financial year end, the inventories are assessed for impairment. If inventories are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its net realisable value, calculated as its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.
Options over land and professional costs incurred in connection with land development opportunities are included within inventory and are subject to impairment reviews at each balance sheet date.
1.6
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
1.7
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.8
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Stocks/inventories of pre-development work in progress
The company’s principal judgement relates to the carrying value of its land, options over land and associated professional and planning fees held for development. The directors continue to review these sites and planning risks associated.
Significant judgement is applied when evaluating both the feasibility and profitability of long term development projects ongoing at the year end and when reviewing the recoverability of development and pre-development costs included as stock of work in progress.
Where it is determined that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred pre-development costs would be immediately expensed. Where it is determined that the completion of a development project is probable, but the future selling price on the development project is less than the current net book value of the relating stock of work in progress, an impairment provision is made.
The company’s activities involve it in a number of high value property and construction related contracts which, from time to time, result in commercial disputes, often in respect of valuations or project specifications. Most of these are amicably resolved in line with normal commercial practice. The directors exercise judgement in assessing the likely outcome of disputes and whether a provision is required within the financial statements.
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
The company reviews the carrying value of the investments in subsidiaries at each period end. If indicators of impairment exist, the carrying value of the asset is subject to further testing to determine whether its carrying value exceeds its recoverable value. This process will usually involve the estimation of future cash flows which are likely to be generated by the investment.
