Rothschilds Continuation Finance CI
30 November 2017
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 September 2017
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 2017, GBP125,000,000 perpetual subordinated guaranteed notes were in issue by the Company.
Rothschild & Co SCA announced on 21 March 2017 that it will change its financial year end from 31 March to 31 December. There will therefore be a 9 month accounting period until 31 December 2017. Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited will also change its year end in line with its ultimate parent.
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.
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.
