Rothschild & Co Continuation Finance PLC
Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021
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.
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.
COVID-19 has created significant disruption to the global markets and economies. Management has performed an assessment to determine whether there are any material uncertainties arising due to the pandemic that could cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company's principal risk is credit exposure to NMR, as the notes issued by the Company have been guaranteed by, and funds have been on-lent to NMR. The Company is therefore reliant on the ability of NMR to meet its obligations under these lending arrangements. NMR is exposed to the aforementioned market disruption but, nevertheless, has sufficient liquidity to continue to operate for the next 12 months even in the scenario where revenue is significantly reduced. Management has considered the going concern basis of preparation as outlined in note 1 to the financial statements.
The Company's processes are undertaken by another group undertaking. As a result of events the activities of this group undertaking continued in the period to be largely conducted remotely with all employees supported by enhanced existing technology and IT infrastructure. All critical systems continue to operate effectively and there has been minimal disruption in activity. The Company continues to carefully monitor and mitigate the risk on an ongoing basis in order to minimise exposure
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.

For the six months ended 30 June 2021
1. Basis of Preparation
The condensed interim financial statements are prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial statements are prepared under the historical cost accounting rules and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The accounting policies and methods of valuation are identical to those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Going Concern
Management has performed an assessment to determine whether there are any material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, including the impact of COVID-19. No significant issues have been noted. In reaching this conclusion, management considered:
- The financial impact of the uncertainty on the Company's
balance sheet;
- The Company's liquidity position based on current and
projected cash resources. The liquidity position has
been assessed taking into account the forecast liquidity
of NMR and its ability to continue to pay the interest
on the intercompany loan provided by the Company; and
- The operational resilience with respect to the impact
of the pandemic on existing IT and infrastructure.
Based on the above assessment of the Company's financial position, the Directors have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (for a period of at least twelve months after the date that the financial statements are signed). Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
2. Directors' Emoluments
None of the directors received any remuneration in respect of their services to the Company during the period (2020: GBPnil).
