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's immediate parent undertaking is Canary Wharf Developments Limited and its ultimate parent undertaking is Stork HoldCo LP.
The principal activity of the company is to act as an investment company, Through its subsidiaries, the company controls the Wood Wharf estate, London, UK.
As shown in the company's statement of comprehensive income, the company's loss after tax for the year was £171,580,277 (2024 - profit £217,190,815). The main cause of the loss generated in the year is due to the movement in provision against investments of £178,057,314 offset by dividends received from subsidiaries of £12,932,800.
The statement of financial position shows the company's financial position at the year end and indicates that net assets were £117,772,361 (2024 - £289,352,638). The main movement in net assets has come from the decrease in investments from £475,716,534 in the prior year to £226,776,526 in the current year due to a large movement in the provision for impairment against these investments, offset by disposals and repayments, with smaller movements in intercompany debtors increasing from £5 to £17,124,184 and intercompany creditors decreasing from £186,308,401 to £126,128,349.

The Company has adopted Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc (‘the Group’) 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 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: the current geopolitical climate and its potential impact on the economy, the financing risk, the cyclical nature of the property market, concentration risk and policy and planning risks.
The past 12 months have marked the most significant escalation in international conflict and Geopolitical tensions in the past 50 years, with conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East. The company's exposure to these trends is indirect and limited to exposure to increased energy costs and implications for global supply chains. Risks in this context are graded low to medium in terms of both likelihood and impact.
The company has enhanced its monitoring of global developments by specialist in-house teams and external providers, and forward planning and scenario analysis in terms of energy requirements. The Company maintains strong relationships with occupiers, suppliers and agents to ensure it can appropriately react to changing geopolitical climates and how this might impact the business.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Key financial risks for the Company are influenced by the broader macro-economic environment and the specific challenges facing the commercial real estate sector. Financing risk encompasses both liquidity and credit risk. The broader economic cycle inevitably leads to movements in inflation, interest rates and bond yields, all of which can impact the cost and availability of financing.
As the Company does not rely on external financing, risk is reduced. The Group mitigates this by maintaining cash flow forecasting and holding adequate cash reserves.
As the Company does not rely on external financing, risk is reduced. The Group mitigates this by maintaining cash flow forecasting and holding adequate cash reserves.
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% 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.

The Company recognises that risks from cyber threat actors are evolving in scale and complexity, while at the same time noting that the rapid evolution of technology and information systems, particularly around AI, will be a critical component of its continued success. The Company’s risks in this context are graded to be of medium likelihood and impact.
The Company monitors the evolution of risks and employs multilayered controls to address these, including the establishment, implementation and maintenance of appropriate policies, mandatory staff awareness training, and appropriate and proportionate cyber defences with third party providers.
The principal risks facing the Group are discussed in the Annual Report of Canary Wharf Investment Holdings Group plc, which does not form part of this report.

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.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, 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 of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed.
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements and other information included in Directors' Reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CWG (WOOD WHARF) HOLDINGS LIMITED
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements which comprise:
∙the statement of comprehensive income;
∙the statement of financial position;
∙the statement of changes in equity;
∙the related notes 1 to 14.
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).
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 Financial Reporting Council’s (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
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 CWG (WOOD WHARF) HOLDINGS LIMITED
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to 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.
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.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk /auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
EXTENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We considered the nature of the company’s industry and its control environment, and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management and directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including those that are specific to the company’s business sector.

CWG (WOOD WHARF) HOLDINGS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CWG (WOOD WHARF) HOLDINGS LIMITED
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that:
∙had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These included UK Companies Act, and relevant tax legislation; and
∙do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
∙reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
∙performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
∙enquiring of management and in-house legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
∙reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
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 strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 any material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report in respect of the following matters 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.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 transaction price. 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.
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 subject to contractual terms and arrangements that are non-standard they are recognised initially at fair value. The fair value is assessed as the present value of most likely cash flows, subject to the limitations of the underlying terms. Any movements are recognised in the income statement.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other creditors are stated at cost.
Borrowings
Standard loans payable are recognised initially at transaction price including transaction costs, unless the total cost does not represent the value of a financing transaction on an arm’s length basis. In this case the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument is used in place of proceeds and the difference between the two amounts is accounted for as a capital contribution.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans payable are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and the redemption value being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the loan, using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows (including all fees that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability.
Where loans are subject to contractual terms and arrangements that are non-standard they are carried at fair value. The fair value is assessed as the present value of most likely cash flows, subject to the limitations of the underlying terms. Any movements are recognised in the income statement.

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.

Valuation of investments
Investments in Partnerships are carried at fair value. The directors have valued the investment at the company’s share of the Partnership's net asset value, as adjusted for the fair value of the Partnership's property interest.
