21 September 2018

Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited

Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018

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 June 2018, GBP125,000,000 perpetual subordinated guaranteed notes were in issue by the Company.

As reported last year, the Company decided to change its financial year from 31 March to 31 December. The period being reported on for this Interim Management Report is the six months to June 2018. The comparatives are for the six months to 30 September 2017.

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.

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.
