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 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.

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).

value which as at 30 June 2023 was GBP127,807,500 (at 31 December

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

------------------------ ------------ ---------------
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).
10. Maturity of Financial Liabilities

Company on the subordinated guaranteed notes classified by
