Rothschild & Co Continuation Finance CI Limited

Half-yearly Report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023

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 ("R&CoCL"). 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 2023, 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 and market risk. The Company follows the risk management policies of fellow subsidiary undertaking, N. M. Rothschild & Sons Limited ("NMR").

The Company's principal risk is credit exposure to other group companies, as the notes issued by the Company have been on-lent to R&CoCL and NMR. R&CoCL has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, the notes issued. The Company's ability to meet its obligations in respect of notes issued by it is therefore reliant on NMR and R&CoCL to make payments to the Company. Both R&CoCL and NMR are exposed to current market and geopolitical headwinds but, nevertheless, have sufficient liquidity to continue to operate for the next 12 months even in the scenario where revenue is significantly reduced. Management has considered the going concern basis of preparation as outlined in note 1 to the financial statements.

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 (ii) the principal risks and uncertainties for the 
      remaining six months of the financial year.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

(forming part of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements)

For the six months ended 30 June 2023

1. 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 December 2022, 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 December 2022.

Going Concern

Management has performed an assessment to determine whether there are any material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. No significant issues have been noted. In reaching this conclusion, management considered:

 
 -   The financial impact of the uncertainty on the Company's 
      balance sheet; 
 -   The Company's liquidity position based on current and 
      projected cash resources. The liquidity position has 
      been assessed taking into account the forecast liquidity 
      of NMR and R&CoCL and their ability to continue to pay 
      the interest on the intercompany loan provided by the 
      Company. 
 

Based on the above assessment of the Company's financial position, the Directors have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (for a period of at least twelve months after the date that the financial statements are signed). Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Financial Risk Management

The Company follows the financial risk management policies of the parent undertaking, NMR. The key risks arising from the Company's activities involving financial instruments, which are monitored at the group level, are as follows:

 
 -   Credit risk - the risk of loss arising from client or 
      counterparty default is not considered a significant 
      risk to the Company as all asset balances are with other 
      group companies as detailed in note 12 Related Party 
      Transactions. 
 -   Market risk - exposure to changes in market variables 
      such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, equity 
      and debt prices is not considered significant as the 
      terms of financial assets substantially match those of 
      financial liabilities. 
 -   Liquidity risk - the risk that the Company is unable 
      to meet its obligations as they fall due or that it is 
      unable to fund its commitments is not considered significant 
      as the risk has been transferred to NMR. As the funds 
      on-lent to NMR have the same maturity dates as the notes 
      issued, the Company's ability to meet its obligations 
      in respect of notes issued by it is affected by NMR's 
      ability to make payments to the Company. 
 

2. Directors' Emoluments

None of the Directors received any remuneration in respect of their services to the Company during the period (2020: GBPnil).

3. Taxation

IFRS 9 requires the GBP125,000,000 loans to be carried at fair value which as at 30 June 2023 was GBP127,807,500 (at 31 December 2022: GBP129,202,500). On an amortised cost basis, the value of the loan at 30 June 2023 would be GBP125,000,000 (at 31 December 2022: GBP125,000,000). The fair values are based on the market value of the external debt securities (level 2).

------------------------  ------------  --------------- 
 

Given the IFRS 9 requirement to fair value the related loans, the Company has elected to fair value the subordinated guaranteed notes, which as at 30 June 2023 was GBP127,682,500 (at 31 December 2022: GBP129,077,500). On an amortised cost basis, the value of the subordinated guaranteed notes at 30 June 2023 would be GBP125,000,000 (at 31 December 2022: GBP125,000,000). Consistent with the prior period, the fair value was derived from quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. In accordance with IFRS 13 and due to a

reduction in the frequency and volume of transactions observed in the immediate run up to the period

end, the fair value is considered to be level 2 as at 30 June 2023 (2022: level 1).
