Rothschilds Continuation Finance CI
14 July 2016
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
Report of the Directors and Financial Statements for the year ended
31 March 2016
Report of the Directors
The Directors present their Directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.
Principal Activities and Business Review
The principal activity of Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited (the Company) is the raising of finance for the purpose of lending it to other companies, including members of the Rothschild Concordia SAS group. The results for the year are set out in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 7.
As at 31 March 2016, GBP125,000,000 perpetual subordinated notes were in issue by the Company.
Principal 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 a fellow Group company NM Rothschild & Sons limited.
The Company's market risk exposure is limited to interest rate. Exposure to interest rate movements on the perpetual subordinated note issues has been passed to a fellow subsidiary N M Rothschild & Sons Limited (NMR) and parent undertaking Rothschilds Continuation Limited (RCL), as the issue proceeds have been on-lent to NMR and RCL at a fixed margin of 1/64 per cent above the rate being paid.
Liquidity risk has similarly been transferred to NMR and RCL as the funds on-lent have the same maturity dates as the notes issued. The Company's principal credit risk is with NMR and RCL.
Since notes issued by the Company have been guaranteed by, and funds have been on-lent to, NMR and RCL, the Company's ability to meet its obligations in respect of notes issued by it is affected by NMR's and RCL's ability to make payments to the Company.
Currency risk is not considered significant as all material foreign currency balances and cash flows are matched.
On 23 June the UK voted to leave the EU. At the date of signing these financial statements the Directors do not foresee any immediate impact on the Company but acknowledge the uncertainty that exists. The Directors will continue to keep this under review.
Directors
The Directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Peter Barbour appointed 21 July 2015 Anthony Chapman resigned 21 July 2015 Anthony Coghlan Mark Crump Andrew Didham resigned 21 July 2015 David Oxburgh
Directors' Indemnity
The Company has provided qualifying third-party indemnities for the benefit of its Directors. These were provided during the period and remain in force at the date of this report.
Dividends
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2015: GBPnil).
Auditor
Pursuant to Section 487 of the Companies Act 2006, the auditor will be deemed to be reappointed and KPMG LLP will therefore continue in office.
Audit Information
The Directors who held office at the date of approval of this Report of the Directors confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware, and each Director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a Director to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
in Respect of the Directors' Report and the Financial Statements
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 they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU and applicable law.
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:
Hot Features
Premium
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS
as adopted by the EU; and
- 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 enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
- the financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS
as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit and loss of the
Company; and
- the Report of the Directors includes a fair view of the development
and performance of the business and the position of the Company,
together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties
it faces.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
We have audited the financial statements (the "financial statements") of Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Ltd (the "Company") for the year ended 31st March 2016 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with section 262 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. 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.
Respective Responsibilities of Directors and Auditor
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on pages 4, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amount and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Report of the Directors to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's
affairs as at 31 March 2016 and of its profit for
the year then ended;
- are in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU; and
- comply with The Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(forming part of the Financial Statements)
For the year ended 31 March 2016
1. Accounting Policies
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited ("the Company") is a company incorporated in Guernsey. The principal accounting policies which have been consistently adopted in the presentation of the financial statements are as follows:
a. Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations, endorsed by the European Union ("EU") and with those requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost accounting rules and presented in its sterling, unless otherwise stated.
The maturities of the Company's liabilities are matched with the maturities of its assets. There is, therefore a strong expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The financial statements are presented in sterling, unless otherwise stated.
Standards affecting the financial statements
In the current year, there have been no new or revised Standards and Interpretations that have been adopted that have materially affected the amounts reported in these financial statements.
Future accounting developments
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for accounting periods ending after 31 March 2016 and therefore have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on future financial statements.
b. Interest receivable and payable
Interest is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method.
c. Taxation
Tax payable on profits is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
d. Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with banks with original maturities of three months or less.
e. Capital management
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. It is dependent on Rothschilds Continuation Limited (the parent undertaking) to provide capital resources which are therefore managed on a group basis.
f. Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on trade date and derecognised on either trade date, if applicable, or on maturity or repayment.
On initial recognition, IAS 39 requires that financial assets be classified into the following categories; at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available for sale investments. The company does not hold any assets that are classified as held-to-maturity or available for sale.
g. Loans and advances
Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Loans and advances are intitially recorded at fair value, including any transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses arising on derecognition of loans and advances are recognised in other operating income.
h. Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
i. Accounting Judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the accounting policies.
2. Financial Risk Management
The Company follows the financial risk management policies of the parent undertaking, Rothschilds Continuation Limited. The key risks arising from the Company's activities involving financial instruments, which are monitored at the group level, are as follows:
- Credit risk - the risk of loss arising from client or counterparty default is not considered a significant risk to the Company as all asset balances are with other group companies as detailed in note 12 Related Party Transactions.
- Market risk - exposure to changes in market variables such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, equity and debt prices is not considered significant as the terms of financial assets substantially match those of financial liabilities.
- Liquidity risk - the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due or that it is unable to fund its commitments is not considered significant as material cash inflows and outflows from financial assets and liabilities are substantially matched.
3. Directors' Emoluments
None of the Directors received any remuneration in respect of their services to the Company during the year (2015: GBPnil).
