STRATEGIC REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2021
The directors, in preparing this Strategic Report, have complied with section 414C of the Companies Act 2006.
This Strategic Report has been prepared for the company and not for the group of which it is a member and therefore focuses only on matters which are significant to the company.
BUSINESS MODEL
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Canary Wharf Group plc and its ultimate parent undertaking is Stork HoldCo LP.
The company is a finance vehicle that issues securities which are backed by commercial mortgages over properties within the Canary Wharf Estate. The company is engaged in the provision of finance to the Canary Wharf Group, comprising Canary Wharf Group plc and its subsidiaries ('the group'). All activities take place within the United Kingdom.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Since early 2020, the UK economy has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 virus which has caused widespread disruption and economic uncertainty. The return to lockdown in January 2021 and the extension to the end of lockdown restrictions in July 2021 continued this uncertainty but the positive news around rollout of vaccines and the recent removal of restrictions have improved the outlook. The crisis had no material impact on the assets, liabilities or performance of the company during the year.
At 31 December 2021, the company had GBP1,384,862,120 (2020 - GBP1,414,187,321) of notes listed on the London Stock Exchange and had lent the proceeds to a fellow subsidiary undertaking, CW Lending II Limited ('the Borrower'), under a loan agreement ('the Intercompany Loan Agreement'). The notes are secured on a pool of properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income therefrom.
The securitisation has the benefit of an agreement with AIG which covers the rent in the event of a default by the tenant of 33 Canada Square over the entire term of its lease. At 31 December 2021, AIG had posted GBP95,279,028 (2020 - GBP118,730,673) as cash collateral in respect of this obligation.
The company also has the benefit of a GBP300.0m liquidity facility provided by Lloyds Bank plc, under which drawings may be made in the event of a cash flow shortage under the securitisation. The liquidity facility matures on 22 October 2037.
The ratings of the notes are as follows:
Class Moody's Fitch S&P A1 Aaa AAA A+ A3 Aaa AAA A+ A7 Aaa AAA A+ B Aa3 AA A+ B3 Aa3 AA A+ C2 A3 A A D2 Baa3 BBB A--
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The company has adopted the IFRS 9 measurement option and hence the floating rate securitised notes are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement.
2021 2020 GBP GBP -------------- -------------- Securitised debt 1,384,862,120 1,414,187,321 Financing cost (before adjustment for fair value) 83,006,297 84,909,622 Total comprehensive income 65,225 71,060 Weighted average maturity of debt 10.8 years 11.6 years Weighted average interest rate 6.1% 6.1%
STRATEGY & OBJECTIVES
Exposure Management
The mark to market positions of all the company's derivatives are reported to the Group Treasurer on a monthly basis and to the directors on a quarterly basis. The Group Treasurer monitors hedging activity on an ongoing basis, in order to notify the directors of any over hedging that may potentially occur and proposals to deal with such events.
Hedging Instruments and Transaction Authorisation
Instruments that may be used for hedging interest rate exposure include:
-- Interest rate swaps -- Interest rate caps, collars and floors -- Gilt locks
No hedging activity is undertaken without explicit authority of the board.
Transaction Accounting
All derivatives are required to be measured on balance sheet at fair value (mark to market).
Credit Risk
The Group's policies restrict the counterparties with which derivative transactions can be contracted and cash balances deposited. This ensures that exposure is spread across a number of approved financial institutions with high credit ratings.
All other debtors are receivable from other group undertakings.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The risks and uncertainties facing the business are monitored through continuous assessment, regular formal reviews and discussion at the Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc audit committee and board. Such discussion focuses on the risks identified as part of the system of internal control which highlights key risks faced by the Group and allocates specific day to day monitoring and control responsibilities as appropriate. As a member of Canary Wharf Group, the current key risks of the company include ongoing impact of COVID-19, the cyclical nature of the property market, departure from the EU, concentration risk, financing risk, interest rate risk and policy and planning risks.
The COVID--19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the UK economy. Despite this, the Group has demonstrated the resilience of its office rental income and during the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group collected over 99.0% of the office rents billed.
Cyclical nature of the property market
The valuation of the Company and Group's assets are subject to many other external economic and market factors. In recent years, the London real estate market has had to cope with fluctuations in demand caused by key events such as the 2008/2009 financial crisis, uncertainty in the Eurozone and the implications of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The full impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia as a consequence and of the coronavirus is not yet possible to predict. Any long term continuation of the pandemic will however inevitably affect short and medium term economic performance and confidence, with adverse implications for the property market. The real estate market has to date, however, been assisted by the depreciation of sterling since the EU referendum and the continuing presence of overseas investors attracted by the relative transparency of the real estate market in London which is still viewed as both relatively stable and secure. Previous Government announcements, in particular the changes to stamp duty underpinned continuing demand in the residential market and the value of the Group's development sites. Property valuations for office properties let on long leases to tenants with good covenants have remained relatively strong despite continuing economic uncertainties which are unhelpful to confidence across the wider real estate sector.
Concentration risk
The majority of the Group's real estate assets are currently located on or adjacent to the Estate. Although a majority of tenants have traditionally been linked to the financial services industry, this proportion has now fallen to around only 50.0% of tenants. Wherever possible steps are still taken to mitigate or avoid material consequences arising from this concentration.
Although the focus of the Group has been on and around the Estate where value can be added, the Group will also consider opportunities elsewhere. The Group is involved as construction manager and joint development manager in the joint venture with Qatari Diar to redevelop the Shell Centre in London's South Bank. The Group has also reviewed current consents for development to react to changes in the market. This review has led to an increased focus on the residential build to rent sector as reflected in the composition of the master plan for the mixed use development at Wood Wharf.
Financing risk
The broader economic cycle inevitably leads to movement in inflation, interest rates and bond yields.
The company has issued debenture finance in sterling at both fixed and floating rates and uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. All of the company's borrowings are fixed after taking account of interest rate hedges. All borrowings are denominated in sterling and the Company has no intention to borrow amounts in currencies other than sterling.
The company enters into derivative financial instruments solely for the purposes of hedging its financial liabilities. No derivatives are entered into for speculative purposes.
The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The company's securitisation is subject to a maximum loan minus cash to value ('LMCTV') ratio covenant.
The maximum LMCTV ratio is 100.0% but there is also a cash trap covenant of 50.0%. Based on the 31 December 2021 valuations of the properties upon which the company's notes are secured, the LMCTV ratio at the interest payment date in January 2022 was 43.5%. The securitisation is not subject to a minimum interest coverage ratio. A breach of financial covenants can be remedied by depositing eligible investments (including cash).
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
The Canary Wharf Group board retains overall responsibility for the monitoring and implementation of the group's environmental policy and is assisted by the group's Corporate Responsibility Group which comprises senior executives of the group. A clear governance process has been developed and implemented to enable the Corporate Responsibility Group, and ultimately the board, to identify, manage and respond to the environmental and social risks and opportunities that may affect the group's operations.
The Corporate Responsibility Group is responsible for the development and establishment of environmental management systems throughout the group which has been developed to focus attention on those objectives and targets where improvements and actions are necessary to meet the monitoring and reporting process formally adopted by the group. Identified environmental system managers have responsibility for the implementation of the environmental management systems throughout their respective business areas. Employee environmental awareness is key to the success of the environmental management systems and as a result is incorporated into the staff induction programme with regular updates via inhouse newsletters and presentations.
Sustainability pressures are coming from existing and prospective tenants and occupiers, who are seeking more sustainable operations. These expectations are met by the Group in the design and construction of more sustainable buildings and by improving the environmental performance of existing facilities through effective retrofitting and facilities management. The Group aims to design, build and manage central London's highest quality, best value and most sustainable office, retail and residential buildings and districts. In doing this, the Group works with all its stakeholders to create and nurture vibrant, inclusive communities that meet today's economic, environmental and social needs while anticipating those of tomorrow for the benefit of the environment, tenants, employees, the community and stakeholders. A 30 year local impact report by The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) commissioned by the Group has shown that Canary Wharf supports 54.0% of all jobs in Tower Hamlets, of which around 12,000 people work in Canary Wharf. Since 1997, GBP3.0bn of business has been generated for local businesses in East London through initiatives supported by the Group.
Canary Wharf Group has maintained ISO 14001 accreditation since early 2005 and environmental management has been an inherent part of construction since 2002. During 2021, no member of the Group incurred any fines or non monetary sanctions for non compliance with any regulation or legislation related to sustainability issues.
Canary Wharf Group is a founder member of the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), the Better Building Partnership (BBP) and the Business Clean Air Taskforce (B-CAT). The Group has also signed the BBP Climate Change Commitment, as well as The Climate Pledge, joining Amazon and other companies in pledging to achieve net zero carbon at least 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. Canary Wharf Group targets the reduction of energy, water and resource use, and the reuse and the recycling of waste where possible during the design, construction and management of properties. The minimisation of disruption and disturbance to the environment and local community is targeted during the construction and management of buildings. Canary Wharf Group is also committed to preventing and monitoring pollution and to reducing any emissions which may have an adverse impact on the environment and/or local community.
Canary Wharf Group endeavours to raise awareness and promote effective management of sustainability, environmental and social issues with staff, designers, suppliers and contractors and also works with suppliers and contractors to establish effective environmental supply chain management and to promote the procurement of sustainable products and materials. In 2020, the Group published its Net Zero Carbon Pathway, a roadmap for reaching net zero carbon by 2030, 20 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. The Group also published ambitious Science Based Targets (SBTs) ratified by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Progress against both the Net Zero Carbon Pathway and SBTs will be published in the annual Sustainability Report.
In 2021, the Group participated in GRESB and CDP Sustainability Benchmarking schemes, receiving a GRESB 5 star rating, ranked first in our peer group and a CDP score of B.

The auditors have reported on those accounts and their report was unqualified, did not contain a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain statements under sections 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
This announcement has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS 102 "the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland").

The impact of the Covid-19 virus is disclosed in the Strategic Report.

TAXATION 2021 2020 GBP GBP ---- ----- Current tax on profits for the year - - ---- TAXATION ON PROFIT ON ORDINARY ACTIVITIES - - ---- -----
FACTORS AFFECTING TAX CHARGE FOR THE YEAR
The tax assessed for the year is different to the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 19.0% (2020 - 19.0%). The differences are explained below:
2021 2020 GBP GBP ------------ ------------ (Loss)/profit on ordinary activities before tax (9,918,886) (9,877,277) ------------ ------------ (Loss)profit on ordinary activities multiplied by standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 19.0% (2020 - 19.0%) (1,884,588) (1,876,683) EFFECTS OF: Fair value movements not subject to tax 1,896,981 1,890,184 Group relief (12,393) (13,501) ------------ TOTAL TAX CHARGE FOR THE YEAR - - ------------ ------------
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE TAX CHARGES
There were no factors that affected the tax charge for the year which has been calculated on the profits on ordinary activities before tax at the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 19.0% (2020 - 19.0%).
Enacted in the Finance Act 2021 is a provision for the main rate of corporation tax to increase to 25.0% from 1 April 2023. The impact of the new tax rate is not expected to be material to the company.
7. DEBTORS 2021 2020 GBP GBP -------------- -------------- DUE AFTER MORE THAN ONE YEAR Loan to fellow subsidiary undertaking due after more than one year 1,592,708,302 1,677,350,801 1,592,708,302 1,677,350,801 -------------- -------------- 2021 2020 GBP GBP ----------- ----------- DUE WITHIN ONE YEAR Other amounts owed to fellow subsidiaries 6,164,526 3,580,353 Loan to fellow subsidiary undertaking due within one year 29,325,200 29,325,200 Accrued interest on loan to fellow subsidiary undertaking 16,192,846 16,558,088 51,682,572 49,463,641 ----------- ----------- 2021 2020

The fair value of the loans to group undertakings at 31 December 2021 was GBP1,832,728,937 (2020 - GBP1,969,316,124), calculated by reference to the fair values of the Company's financial liabilities. In the event that the company were to realise the fair value of the securitised debt and the derivative financial instruments, it would have the right to recoup its losses as a repayment premium on its loans to CW Lending II Limited. As such, the fair value of the loans to group undertakings is calculated to be the sum of the fair value of the securitised debt and the fair value of the derivative financial instruments.
The loan to the company's fellow subsidiary undertaking was made in tranches, the principal terms of which are:
Effective 2021 2020 Class Interest interest Repayment GBPm GBPm ------ -------- --------- ------------------ ------- ------- By instalment 2009 A1 6.465% 6.151% - 2033 199.3 221.7 By instalment 2032 A3 5.962% 5.814% - 2037 400.0 400.0 A7 5.409% 5.298% January 2035 222.0 222.0 By instalment 2005 B 6.810% 6.409% - 2030 121.0 127.9 B3 5.593% 5.544% January 2035 77.9 77.9 C2 6.276% 6.059% January 2035 239.7 239.7 D2 7.071% 6.743% January 2035 125.0 125.0 ------- ------- 1,384.9 1,414.2 Unamortised premium 12.2 13.9 Accrued financing costs 16.1 17.3 1,413.2 1,445.4 ------- -------
In January 2017, interest on the tranche A7 loan increased to 5.409% from 5.124% and interest on the tranche B3 loan increased to 5.593% from 5.173%.
The A7, B3 and C2 tranches of the intercompany loan are carried at fair value. The A1, A3, B and D2 tranches are carried at amortised cost. The total fair value of the intercompany loan was GBP1,832,728,937.
The carrying value of financial assets represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.
The maturity profile of the Company's contracted undiscounted cash flows is as follows:
2021 2020 GBP GBP Within one year 113,903,719 115,602,313 In one to 2 years 111,658,671 113,903,740 In 2 to 5 years 318,450,975 329,421,776 In 5 to 10 years 532,805,858 569,539,291 In 10 to 20 years 1,236,955,793 1,300,950,484 At 31 December 2,313,775,016 2,429,417,604 -------------- -------------- 2021 2020 GBP GBP -------------- -------------- Comprising: Principal repayments 1,384,862,120 1,414,187,320 Interest repayments 928,912,896 1,015,230,284 At 31 December 2,313,775,016 2,429,417,604 -------------- --------------
