CANARY (MIDCO 2) LIMITED - Analysis Report

Company Number: 14162494

Analysis Date: 2025-07-20 14:48 UTC

Credit Opinion:
CONDITIONAL APPROVAL. Canary (Midco 2) Limited is a recently incorporated holding company (June 2022) with no trading activity of its own and minimal financial data available. The company holds investments in operating subsidiaries within a group focused on energy sector advisory services. The latest accounts show a negligible loss (£86) and almost zero shareholders’ funds (-£86), indicating no material financial strength at this entity level. However, the company benefits from group support, and the directors confirm going concern status. Credit approval is conditional on the strength and continued support of the wider Canary (Midco 1) Limited Group and monitoring of group performance and intercompany arrangements.

Financial Strength:
The balance sheet is minimal with shareholder funds slightly negative at -£86 as of 31 March 2023. There are no trading revenues or expenses beyond administrative costs, reflecting the company’s role as an intermediate holding company rather than an operating business. No detailed asset or liability breakdown is provided beyond this, but the negligible net asset base means the entity itself has limited standalone financial strength.

Cash Flow Assessment:
No cash flow or liquidity data is provided for the entity itself. Given the company does not trade and acts as a holding company, cash flows are likely reliant on intercompany funding or group treasury arrangements. There is no evidence of working capital or liquidity issues at this level, but this should be confirmed by reviewing group-level cash flow and funding arrangements.

Monitoring Points:

• Continued financial performance and stability of the underlying operating subsidiaries and the Canary (Midco 1) Limited Group.
• Intercompany funding and guarantees supporting Canary (Midco 2) Limited.
• Timely filing of future accounts and confirmation statements to ensure compliance and transparency.
• Changes in management or strategy that could impact group support or company status.
• Any emerging risks reported at the group level, particularly in the energy advisory sector.
