Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 September
2015
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 other companies, including members of
the Rothschild Concordia SAS group. In the period ended 30
September 2015, 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.
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 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.
