The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and profit or loss for that period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CANARY WHARF ENERGY COMPANY LIMITED
 


Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Canary Wharf Energy Company Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion:

the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended;
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.

In our evaluation of the directors’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the company's business model including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as interest rates, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the company's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CANARY WHARF ENERGY COMPANY LIMITED
 

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the directors' report and financial statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the directors' report and financial statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matter on which we are required to report under the Companies Act 2006

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CANARY WHARF ENERGY COMPANY LIMITED
 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below: 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Company and determined that the most significant were Financial Reporting Standards 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, tax legislation and the Companies Act 2006;
We enquired of management and the board, concerning the Group and parent company’s policies and procedures relating to:
- the identification, evaluation and compliance with laws and regulations;
- the detection and response to the risks of fraud; and
- the establishment of internal controls to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 
We enquired of management and the board, whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
We corroborated the results of our enquiries to relevant supporting documentation such as board minutes;
We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all the engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

The engagement team’s assessment of the susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatements, including how fraud may occur:

We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by evaluating management’s incentives and opportunities for manipulation of the financial statements. This included the evaluation of the risks of management override of controls. We determined that the principal risks were in relation to:
- journal entries with a focus on manual journals and journals indicating large of unusual transaction based on our understanding of the business.
- evaluating the design effectiveness of controls over revenue that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud.
- potential management bias in determining accounting estimates.
- transactions with related parties.
Our audit procedures involved:
- evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
- identifying and testing journal entries identified as high risk;
- assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement line item.
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

The engagement partners’ assessment of whether the engagement team collectively has the appropriate competence and capabilities has to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations:

Assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagement team’s:
- understanding of, and practical experience with, audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation.
- knowledge of the industry in which the client operates.
- understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements specific to the Company.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk /auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Canary Wharf Energy Company Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in the UK under the Companies Act 2006 and registered in England and Wales at 30th Floor One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, United Kingdom, E14 5AB.
The nature of the company's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors' 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 functional currency of the company is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. 
The principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period and are summarised below:

 
2.2

Going concern

In assessing the going concern basis of the company, the directors have considered a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. 
At the year end the company was in a net current asset position. 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, being a period of a least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
 

  
2.3

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 accounts which are intended to give a true and fair view.

  
2.4

Revenue

Revenue from the supply of utilities comprises a fixed periodic amount and a variable amount based on consumption, which are both recognised in the period to which they relate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  
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.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. A provision for impairment is established where there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the debtor concerned.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other creditors are stated at cost.

  
2.6

Taxation

Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.


3.


PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

An adjustment was incorrectly made in the 2023 accounts, causing the profit to be overstated by £362,882. This related to an electricity recharge between the company and Wood Wharf Estate Management Ltd which was booked in 2023 as well as 2022. The impact on prior year figures is shown in the table below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
The preparation of financial statements also requires use of judgements, apart from those involving estimation, that management makes in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies.
For the year ended 31 December 2024 there were no critical accounting judgements or estimates identified that would have a significant impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, or create a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.


5.


AUDITOR'S REMUNERATION

Auditor's remuneration of £8,000 (2023 - £13,500) for the audit of the company for the year has been borne by another group undertaking.
