STRATEGIC REPORT
for the year ended 31 December 2022
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
At 31 December 2022, the company had GBP1,355,536,920 (2021 -
GBP1,384,862,120) 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
2022, AIG had posted GBP70,882,100 (2021 -- GBP95,279,028) 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 as of the date of issue of this report
are as follows:
Class Moody's Fitch S&P
A1 Aaa AA A+
A3 Aaa AA A+
A7 Aaa AA A+

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 Company has adopted Canary Wharf Group plc principal risks
and uncertainties monitoring and management policies. 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 Canary
Wharf Group plc 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: the
current geopolitical climate and its potential impact on the
economy, the financing risk, the cyclical nature of the property
market, concentration risk, climate risk and policy and planning
risks.
Geopolitical climate
The geopolitical backdrop has been exceptionally turbulent in
the UK and internationally over the past few years. The COVID-19
pandemic led to numerous lockdowns and other related restrictions
between March 2020 and February 2022, disrupting global supply
chains and significantly impacting UK GDP. COVID-19 also brought
about significant changes in the behaviour of office workers, with
the majority of UK based companies now working on a hybrid
basis.
We have also seen a marked increase in Industrial Action, in
part due to falling real wages, resulting in numerous days of tube
and train strikes impacting the Estate. Russia's invasion of
Ukraine in February 2022 has driven significant security, economic,
and energy policy shifts within Europe, with implications for UK
businesses and consumers.
The Group has no contractual relationships with any entity or
individuals based in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. However, the
impact of a war in Europe and sanctions targeted at Russia and
certain individuals may impact on the UK and world economy,
particularly on energy prices. The long term impacts of these
issues remain difficult to predict.
Cyclical nature of the property market
The valuation of the 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, implications of the UK's withdrawal
from the EU, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and sanctions imposed
on Russia as a consequence. During the year, the rapid rise in
interest rates has brought significant turmoil to the debt and
capital markets with consequential impact on investor confidence
whilst the longer term impact of Covid-19 on flexible working has
lead to occupiers reviewing their requirements for office space.
These factors have had adverse implications for the property market
and particularly negative market sentiment towards office assets
which has impacted valuations at the year end.
The real estate market has to date, however, been assisted by
the depreciation of sterling since the UK's exit from the EU 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.
Concentration risk
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 54.0% 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 has been involved as
construction manager and joint development manager in the joint
venture with Qatari Diar to redevelop a portfolio of assets at
London's South Bank with one remaining plot yet to be developed.
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 and the joint venture with Kadans to develop a
commercial laboratory building at North Quay.
Financing risk
The broader economic cycle inevitably leads to movements 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 2022 valuations of the
properties upon which the company's notes are secured, the LMCTV
ratio at the interest payment date in January 2023 was 45.8%. 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).
Climate risk
The Group considers sustainability to be at the forefront of our
business, and as an organisation we have a vision to transform
urban spaces into extraordinary environments. In 2020, the Group
published its Net Zero Carbon Pathway, a roadmap for reaching net
zero carbon by 2030. The Group also published ambitious Science
Based Targets (SBTs) ratified by the Science Based Targets
Initiative (SBTi).
Failure to meet these commitments could result in reputational
damage for the Group and subsequent damage to our relationship with
customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. Similarly, inaccurate
claims around sustainable practices could result in the Group being
subject to fines under the Green code leading to both financial and
reputational harm.
Being an integrated developer, contractor and property manager,
we are in a unique position to embed sustainable principles right
from the initial design of our buildings. However, there are
increasing legal and regulatory requirements for building
performance for which the Group is required to remain compliant.
Failing to meet these requirements could lead to significant
reputational damage and adversely impact asset values.
Whilst we are aware of these risks, we do not consider the Group
to be at considerable risk of non-compliance. We are actively
engaging with many industry groups including the UK Green Building
Council (UKGBC), the Better Building Partnership (BBP) and Concrete
Zero to ensure we remain up to date with all regulations. We also
actively monitor the operational performance of our buildings, and
retrofit older buildings where possible, to ensure compliance. Our
dedicated sustainability team produce an annual sustainability
report to drive sustainable initiatives and communicate performance
to our stakeholders. We obtain external assurance over this report
to provide confidence to our stakeholders. The Group actively
engages in sustainable practices and is working in partnership with
the Eden Project to transform the Canary Wharf Estate into a
biodiverse environment. Further details are provided in our
corporate responsibility section below.
Policy and planning risks
All of the Group's assets are currently located within London.
Appropriate contact is maintained with local and national
Government, but changes in Governmental policy on planning, tax or
other regulations could limit the ability of the Group to maximise
the long term potential of its assets. These risks are closely
monitored.
The principal risks facing the Group are discussed in the Annual
Report of Canary Wharf Investment Holdings plc, which does not form
part of this report.
CORPORATE POLICIES
Conflicts of interest
A formal process to manage directors' conflicts of interest is
observed by the Board. The prescribed process provides a framework
within which the directors who are not conflicted can manage
potential conflict situations to protect the interests of the
Company. An annual review involving self certification by directors
is conducted of the conflicts disclosed during the preceding 12
months.
Corporate Responsibility
The Company has not adopted its own sustainability,
environmental and social policies. However, the directors are
conscious of sustainability, environmental and social issues and
adhere, where applicable, to the policies of Canary Wharf Group
plc.
Sustainability is front and centre for Canary Wharf Group.
Canary Wharf Group are aware of the increasing sustainability
requirements of current and prospective customers. To deliver
sustainability, the Group integrate actions and targets into every
phase of project delivery and are 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. Since 1997, over 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.
Canary Wharf Group is an active member of many industry groups
including the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), the Better
Building Partnership (BBP) and Concrete Zero. 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 closely 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 Tased
Targets (SBTs) ratified by the Science Based Targets Initiative
(SBTi). Progress against both the Net Zero Carbon Pathway and SBTs
are published in the annual Sustainability Report.
In 2022, 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 Group has purchased 100.0% renewable electricity for all
operations since 2012, which has reduced our Scope 2 emissions
(using a market based approach) from electricity to zero during
this reporting year. This electricity supply is backed by Renewable
Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates. The Group are also
investigating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to further reduce
tenant Scope 2 emissions.
The annual Group Sustainability Report, produced in accordance
with EPRA guidelines, provides details of performance against a
range of specified targets and objectives with third party
verification in line with ISAE 3000. This report, together with
additional supporting information and Group publications related to
this area can be downloaded from the Canary Wharf Group website,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2020
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Canary Wharf Finance II plc is a public company limited by
shares incorporated in the UK under the Companies Act 2006 and
registered in England and Wales at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf,
London, E14 5AB.
The nature of the company's operations and its principal
activities are set out in the Strategic Report.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value
and 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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS
102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It
also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the
company's accounting policies (see Note 3).
The principal accounting policies have been applied consistently
throughout the year and the preceding year and are summarised
below:
2.2 Replacement of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark
From 24 January 2022, LIBOR has been replaced by SONIA (Sterling
Overnight Index Average) as the Risk Free Reference Rate for
Sterling Transactions. The group has obtained its lenders approval
to adopt SONIA from 24 January 2022 for all LIBOR related loans,
plus a Credit Adjustment Spread. This has not resulted in any
changes to group's financial instrument effectiveness.
2.3 Going concern
Having made the requisite enquiries and assessed the resources
at the disposal of the company, the directors have a reasonable
expectation that the company will have adequate resources to
continue its operation for the foreseeable future.
The balance sheet shows a net current asset position of
GBP1,294,788,944 and the Company has issued securities which are
backed by commercial mortgages over certain properties within the
Canary Wharf Estate. These properties are let on long term leases
to a diverse range of credit worthy tenants.
Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements.
2.4 Cash flow statement
The company has taken the exemption from preparing the cash flow
statement under Section 1.12(b) as it is a member of a group where
the parent of the group prepares publicly available consolidated
financial statements which are intended to give a true and fair
view.
2.5 Financial Instruments
The directors have taken advantage of the exemption in paragraph
1.12c of FRS 102 allowing the company not to disclose the summary
of financial instruments by the categories specified in paragraph
11.41.
Loans receivable
Loans receivable are recognised initially at the transaction
price including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, loans receivable are stated at amortised cost with any
difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption
value being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of
the loan, using the effective interest method.
Where loans are designated as fair value through profit or loss
('FVTPL') they are recognised at fair value. The fair value is
assessed as the present value of most likely cash flows. Any
movements are recognised in the income statement.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other creditors are stated at amortised cost.
Borrowings
Loans payable are recognised initially at fair value less
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
loans receivable are stated at amortised cost with any difference
between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being
recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the loan,
using the effective interest method.
Where loans are designated as fair value through profit or loss
('FVTPL') they are recognised at fair value. The fair value is
assessed as the present value of most likely cash flows. Any
movements are recognised in the income statement.
Derivative instruments
The company uses interest rate derivatives to help manage its
risks of changes in interest rates. The company does not hold or
issue derivatives for trading purposes.
Following the adoption of the IFRS 9 measurement option, the
floating rate securitised notes are measured at fair value and so
no hedging relationships are possible. The changes in the fair
value of the derivative instruments are recognised in the income
statement.
Prior to the adoption of IFRS 9 the financial instruments were
carried under the measurement criteria of IAS 39. The B3 and C2
financial instruments were designated as effective hedges of the
corresponding notes and carried at Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income. On adoption, the hedging relationships were
terminated and the financial instruments were reclassified as fair
value accounting for the floating rate securitised debt. The
balance in the hedging reserve is being amortised over the
remaining life of the corresponding notes.

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.

The fair value of the loans to group undertakings at 31 December
2022 was GBP1,325,641,286 (2021 - GBP1,832,728,937), 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:
