Rothschild & Co Continuation Fin
23 September 2019
Rothschild & Co Continuation Finance PLC
Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2019
Interim Management Report
Summary of Important Events
Rothschild & Co Continuation Finance PLC (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of N M Rothschild & Sons Limited (NMR) and was incorporated on 30 August 2000 to operate as a finance vehicle for the benefit of NMR and its subsidiaries.
The principal activity of the Company is the raising of finance for the purpose of lending it to NMR and other companies in NMR's group (the "Group"). The Company raises finance by the issue of perpetual subordinated notes guaranteed by NMR.
Comparative numbers in the six months to 30 June 2018 have been amended to reflect the impact of IFRS 9 on accounting for financial instruments.
Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks of the Company are credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk. The Company follows the risk management policies of the parent undertaking, NMR.
The Company's market risk exposure is limited to interest rate risk and currency exchange rate movements. Exposure to interest rate movements on the perpetual subordinated note issues has been passed to NMR, as the issue proceeds have been lent onwards to NMR at a fixed margin of one basis point above the rate being paid. Currency risk is not considered significant as all material foreign currency balances and cash flows are matched.
Liquidity risk has similarly been transferred to NMR as the funds on-lent have the same maturity dates as the notes issued. The Company's principal credit risk is with NMR. Since notes issued by the Company have been guaranteed by, and funds have been on-lent to, NMR, the Company's ability to meet its obligations in respect of notes issued by it is affected by NMR's ability to make payments to the Company.
Operational risk arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems or from external events is managed by maintaining a strong framework of internal controls.
This half-yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

On an amortised cost basis, the value of the debt securities in issue at 30 June 2019 would be GBP134,326,754 (at 31 December 2018: 134,075,815).
