Rothschild & Co Continuation Finance CI Limited

Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2019

Interim Management Report

Summary of Important Events

Rothschild & Co Continuation Finance CI Limited (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rothschild & Co 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 2019, GBP125,000,000 perpetual subordinated guaranteed notes were in issue by the Company.

Comparative numbers in the six months to 30 June 2018 have been amended to reflect the impact of IFRS 9 on accounting for financial instruments.

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 Rothschild & Co Continuation Limited ("R&CoCL"), as the issue proceeds have been on-lent to NMR and R&CoCL 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 R&CoCL as the funds on-lent have the same maturity dates as the notes issued.

The Company's principal credit risk is with NMR and R&CoCL. Since notes issued by the Company have been guaranteed by R&CoCL, and funds have been on-lent to NMR and R&CoCL, the Company's ability to meet its obligations in respect of notes issued by it is affected by NMR's and R&CoCL 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.

On an amortised cost basis, the value of the subordinated guaranteed notes at 30 June 2019 would be GBP125,000,000 (at 31 December 2018: GBP125,000,000). The fair value was derived from the quoted market price at the balance sheet date (level 1).
