Rothschilds Continuation Finance CI
12 December 2016
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 September 2016
Interim Management Report
Summary of Important Events
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rothschilds Continuation Limited. The principal activity of the Company is the raising of finance for the purpose of lending it to companies who are members of the Rothschild Concordia SAS group. In the period ended 30 September 2016, GBP125,000,000 perpetual subordinated guaranteed notes were in issue by the Company.
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, N M Rothschild & Sons Limited.
The Company's market risk exposure is limited to interest rate risk. 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. 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 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 RCL, 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.
Operational risk arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events is managed by maintaining a strong framework of internal controls.
On 23 June 2016 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.
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.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
- the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting; and - the interim management report includes a fair review of (i) the important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year, and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and (ii) the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year.
By Order of the Board

Financial Statements
(forming part of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements)
For the six months ended 30 September 2016
1. Basis of preparation 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 March 2016, 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 March 2016 with the exception of the cash and cash equivalent policy. The Company's fellow subsidiary undertaking, N M Rothschild & Sons Limited, relinquished its UK deposit taking license on 19 September 2016. Therefore, the cash and cash equivalent balances held with the fellow subsidiary undertaking are no longer classified as being held with a bank, but rather as a loan, repayable on demand with the fellow subsidiary undertaking. The liquidity of these balances remains unaffected and therefore still meet the definition of a cash and cash equivalent in accordance with IAS 7. New accounting standards that are effective for the year ending 31 March 2017 have no impact on these condensed interim financial statements. 2. Directors' Emoluments
None of the Directors received any remuneration in respect of their services to the Company during the period (2015: GBPnil).
