Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
Report of the Directors and Financial Statements for the 9
months ended 31 December 2017
Report of the Directors
The Directors present their Directors' report and financial
statements for the 9 months ended 31 December 2017.
Principal Activities and Business Review
The principal activity of Rothschilds Continuation Finance
(C.I.) Limited (the Company) is the raising of finance for the
purpose of lending it to other companies, including members of the
Rothschild Concordia SAS group. The results for the period are set
out in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 8. As at 31
December 2017, GBP125,000,000 perpetual subordinated notes were in
issue by the Company.
Rothschild & Co SCA announced on 21 March 2017 that it will
change its financial year end from 31 March to 31 December.
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited has changed its
year end in line with this such that this set of financial
statements is for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2017. The
comparative figures for the Company's income statement, statement
of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, cash flow
statement and related notes are for the 12 months from 1 April 2016
to 31 March 2017.
Principal 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.
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.
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, 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.
Currency risk is not considered significant as all material
foreign currency balances and cash flows are matched.
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.
Directors
The Directors who held office during the period were as
follows:
Peter Barbour
Anthony Coghlan
Mark Crump
David Oxburgh
Directors' Indemnity
The Company has provided qualifying third-party indemnities for
the benefit of its Directors. These were provided during the period
and remain in force at the date of this report.
Dividends
During the period, the Company paid dividends of GBP150,000
(year ended 31 March 2017: GBPnil).
Auditor
Pursuant to Section 487 of the Companies Act 2006, the auditor
will be deemed to be reappointed and KPMG LLP will therefore
continue in office.
Audit Information
The Directors who held office at the date of approval of this
Report of the Directors confirm that, so far as they are each
aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the
Company's auditor is unaware, and each Director has taken all the
steps that he or she ought to have taken as a Director to make
himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to
establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that
information.
Directors' Responsibilities Statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors'
Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable
law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial
statements for each financial year. Under that law they have
elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the EU and applicable law.
Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or
loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are
required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU;
-- assess the company's ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern;
and
-- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either
intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that
the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They
have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably
open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent
and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and financial information included on the
Company's website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Rothschilds
Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited
1. Our opinion is unmodified
We have audited the financial statements of Rothschilds
Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited ("the Company") for the 9
months ended 31 December 2017 which comprise the Company primary
statements and the related notes, including the accounting policies
in note 1.
In our opinion:
-- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2017 and of the
Company's profit for the period then ended;
-- the Company financial statements have been properly prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the European Union (IFRSs as adopted by the EU);
-- the financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the
Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK) ("ISAs (UK)") and applicable law. Our
responsibilities are described below. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for
our opinion. Our audit opinion is consistent with our report to
those charged with governance.
We were appointed as auditor by the directors on 31 March 1994.
The period of total uninterrupted engagement is the 23 years ended
31 December 2017. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities
under, and we remain independent of the Company in accordance with,
UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard as
applied to listed public interest entities. No non-audit services
prohibited by that standard were provided.

2. Key audit matters: our assessment of risks of material misstatement
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial
statements and include the most significant assessed risks of
material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by
us, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall
audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and
directing the efforts of the engagement team. We summarise below
the key audit matter (unchanged from March 2017), in arriving at
our audit opinion above, together with our key audit procedures to
address those matters and, as required for public interest
entities, our results from those procedures. These matters were
addressed, and our results are based on procedures undertaken, in
the context of, and solely for the purpose of, our audit of the
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and consequently are incidental to that opinion, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

==================== ========================= ==================================================================
3. Our application of materiality and an overview of the scope of our audit
Materiality for the financial statements for the period ending
31 December 2017 was set at GBP1.35m (31 March 2017: GBP1.26m),
determined with reference to a benchmark of total assets (of which
it represents 1% (31 March 2017: 1%).
4. We have nothing to report on going concern
We are required to report to you if we have concluded that the
use of the going concern basis of accounting is inappropriate or
there is an undisclosed material uncertainty that may cast
significant doubt over the use of that basis for a period of at
least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial
statements. We have nothing to report in these respects.
5. We have nothing to report the other information in the financial statements
The directors are responsible for the other information
presented in the financial statements. Our opinion on the financial
statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated
below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit
work, the information therein is materially misstated or
inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge.
Based solely on that work we have not identified material
misstatements in the other information.
Directors' report
Based solely on our work on the other information:
-- we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report;
-- in our opinion the information given in the report for the
financial period is consistent with the financial statements;
and
-- in our opinion the report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
6. We have nothing to report on the other matters on which we
are required to report by exception
Under the Companies Act 2006, we are required to report to you
if, in our opinion:
-- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the
Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received
from branches not visited by us; or
-- the Company financial statements are not in agreement with
the accounting records and returns; or
-- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
7. Respective responsibilities
Directors' responsibilities
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 3,
the Directors are responsible for: the preparation of the financial
statements including being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or other irregularities (see
below), or error, and to issue our opinion in an auditor's report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud, other irregularities or error and are
considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the
FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
Irregularities - ability to detect
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could
reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial
statements from our sector experience and through discussion with
the directors and other Management (as required by auditing
standards).
We had regard to laws and regulations in areas that directly
affect the financial statements including financial reporting
(including related company legislation) and taxation legislation.
We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and
regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial
statement items.
In addition we considered the impact of laws and regulations
recognising the financial nature of the Company's activities and
its legal form. With the exception of any known or possible
non-compliance, and as required by auditing standards, our work in
respect of these was limited to enquiry of the directors and other
management and inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence.
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our
team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance
throughout the audit. As with any audit, there remained a higher
risk of non-detection of non-compliance with relevant laws and
regulations irregularities, as these may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal controls.
8. The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body,
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in
an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body,
for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(forming part of the Financial Statements)
For the 9 months ended 31 December 2017
1. Accounting Policies
Rothschilds Continuation Finance (C.I.) Limited ("the Company")
is a private limited company incorporated in Guernsey. The
principal accounting policies which have been consistently adopted
in the presentation of the financial statements are as follows:
a. Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared and approved by the
Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") and International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations, endorsed by
the European Union ("EU") and with those requirements of the
Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008 applicable to companies reporting
under IFRS. The financial statements are prepared under the
historical cost accounting rules and presented in its sterling,
unless otherwise stated. The maturities of the Company's
liabilities are matched with the maturities of its assets. There
is, therefore a strong expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future and accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis.The financial statements are presented in
sterling, unless otherwise stated.
Standards affecting the financial statements
There were no new standards or amendments to standards that have
been applied in the financial statements for the 9 months ended 31
December 2017.
Future accounting developments
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations are effective for accounting periods ending after
31 December 2017 and therefore have not been applied in preparing
these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a
significant effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Accounting standards first effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and includes revised
guidance in respect of the classification and measurement of
financial assets and liabilities and introduces additional
requirements for liabilities and hedge accounting as well as a new
expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial
assets. This new standard is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company.
b. Interest receivable and payable
Interest is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
using the effective interest rate method.
c. Taxation
Tax payable on profits is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
d. Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash
equivalents comprise balances with other group companies that are
readily convertible to cash and are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
e. Capital management
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital
requirements. It is dependent on Rothschilds Continuation Limited
(the parent undertaking) to provide capital resources which are
therefore managed on a group basis.
f. Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on trade date
and derecognised on either trade date, if applicable, or on
maturity or repayment.
On initial recognition, IAS 39 requires that financial assets be
classified into the following categories; at fair value through
profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity
investments, or available for sale investments. The company does
not hold any assets that are classified as held-to-maturity or
available for sale.
Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market.
Loans and advances are intitially recorded at fair value,
including any transaction costs and are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and
losses arising on derecognition of loans and advances are
recognised in other operating income.
g. Accounting Judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise judgement in applying the
accounting policies.
2. Financial Risk Management
The Company follows the financial risk management policies of
the parent undertaking, Rothschilds Continuation Limited. 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 material cash inflows
and outflows from financial assets and liabilities are
substantially matched.
3. Directors' Emoluments
None of the Directors received any remuneration in respect of
their services to the Company during the period (year to 31 March
2017: GBPnil).
4. Audit Fee
The amount receivable by the auditors and their associates in
respect of the audit of these financial statements is GBP5,000
(year to 31 March 2017: GBP3,511). The audit fee is paid on a group
basis by N M Rothschild & Sons Limited.
