Nordea Bank Finland Group



Result summary January-June 2007

The first six months of 2007 were characterised by continued strong

volume growth and increased deposit margins. NBF's total income

increased by 2% to EUR 1,179m (1,158) and total expenses by 6% to EUR

452m (428). (The comparison figures in brackets refer to the first

six months of 2006.)



NBF's operating profit was down by 2% compared to the same period in

2006 and amounted to EUR 743m (759). Return on equity was 9.4% (9.3%)

and the cost/income ratio 38% (37%). Loan losses were positive at EUR

16m (26). Net profit decreased by 5% to EUR 552m (579).



Market development in the first half of 2007

The Finnish economy continued its robust growth during the first

months of the year. The broad-based economic growth improved the

employment situation, and the unemployment rate continued to come

down. The favourable labour market development and consumers' high

confidence boosted both household consumption and the demand for

credits despite a rise in interest rates.



Income

Total income increased by 2% to EUR 1,179m mainly as a result of the

favourable development in net interest income. The strong lending

growth continued with double-digit volume growth in most segments,

which largely compensated for the margin pressure still present in

certain areas. Total lending to the public increased by 17%

year-on-year to EUR 56.4bn. Deposits and borrowings from the public

increased by 8% year-on-year to EUR 37.1bn driven by both personal

and corporate customers. Deposit margins in Retail Banking continued

to improve following higher market interest rates.



Net commission income increased by 3% to EUR 159m. Lending-related

commissions increased by 7% to EUR 72m, reflecting the volume growth

as well as the ongoing centralisation of Trade Finance products to

NBF. Savings-related commissions income grew by 13% in total. Total

payment commissions were stable despite strong competition. Total

commission expenses increased by 17% partly explained by the strong

sales of cards.



Net gains/losses at fair value decreased by 31% to EUR 185m (270).

Income from equity and interest rate  related products came down from

the high level in the previous year. FX-related income developed

positively and so did other items driven by commodity and credit

derivatives.



Profit from companies accounted for under the equity method decreased

to EUR -1m (24). The reduction mainly reflects the divestment of the

holding in International Moscow Bank in the second half of 2006.



Other operating income totalled EUR 39m (60) comprising mainly

capital gains and other miscellaneous operating income.



Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by 6% and amounted to EUR 452m

(428).



The increase is a result of Nordea's growth ambition and prioritised

investments in certain areas with sizeable potential, as well as an

increase in variable salaries.



Staff costs increased by 4% to EUR 254m (244), which is mainly

explained by general wage increases, higher variable salaries and the

higher number of employees. The average number of FTEs increased by

approximately 100 year-on-year, largely in the Baltic area. Variable

salaries account for approximately half of the total increase in

staff costs.



Other operating expenses totalled EUR 184m (172), up by 7% compared

to last year. The higher activity level and investments in strategic

projects mainly explain the increase.



Depreciation of tangible and intangible assets increased slightly to

EUR 14m (12).



The cost/income ratio was 38% compared to 37% in the first half of

2006.



Loan losses

Net loan losses were positive at EUR 16m (26) reflecting recoveries

maintained at a high level and limited new provisions. NBF is

confident in the overall credit quality of its credit portfolio.



Taxes

The effective tax rate for the first half 2007 was approximately 26%.

In the first half 2006, the effective tax rate was approximately 24%.



Net profit

Net profit decreased by 5% to EUR 552m  (579) corresponding to a

return on equity of 9.4% compared to 9.3% in the first half of last

year.



Balance sheet

(Comparison figures in brackets refer to December 2006 figures)



The total assets of NBF amounted to EUR 137bn (126). The change

mainly reflects growth in lending, higher balance sheet values of

derivatives as well as decreased intra-group transactions.



There was a slight decline in the growth rate of the housing loans

stock in Finland but in the Baltic area the growth rate has been very

strong. Loans to the public grew by 8% compared with the year-end.

The book values of derivatives have increased due to revaluations and

volume growth.



Deposits and borrowings from the public increased from the year-end

level and amounted to EUR 37.1bn (35.7).



Basel II

Nordea for the first time reports risk-weighted assets according to

the new capital adequacy rules (Basel II) following the approval of

the internal rating based (IRB) models on 26 June. The final Basel II

report will be submitted to the FSAs at a later date and the RWA

presented in this report may thus be subject to adjustments.



In the internal rating based (IRB) foundation approach to measure

credit risk, risk weights are a function of probability of default

(PD). Nordea has therefore used its own estimates of the risk

parameter PD. Nordea uses the IRB foundation approach for credit risk

in the corporate and institutions portfolios in 2007, which cover

approx. 50 per cent of Nordea's credit portfolios. The other exposure

classes, e.g. Retail and Sovereign are calculated according to the

standardised methods.

Nordea will gradually apply the advanced IRB approach. The next step

will be to start the implementation according to the IRB method for

the retail exposure class.



Nordea uses internal VaR models for the larger part of the portfolio

to measure Market risk. In Basel II, counterparty risk is included

under credit risk, whereas this previously was included under market

risk.



For Operational Risk Nordea uses the standardised approach based on

annual revenue of each of the broad business lines for estimating

operational risk.



At the end of June, NBF's risk-weighted assets (RWA) amounted to EUR

66bn. Before transition rules, which allows for a maximum of 5%

reduction of RWA in 2007, RWAs were 65bn. According to Basel I rules,

RWA would have been EUR 70bn.



The tier 1 ratio was 13.7% and the total capital ratio was 15.5%.

Profit for the period has not been included in tier 1.



NBF paid back a subordinated loan amounting to USD 150m in January

2007 with the permission of the Finnish Financial Supervision

Authority. Permission to pay back a subordinated loan amounting to

EUR 200m in August 2007 has been received from the Finnish Financial

Supervision Authority. The loan has therefore been deducted from tier

2 capital in the June 2007 capital adequacy calculations.



Credit portfolio

Total lending was EUR 56.4bn (52.5) and the share of personal

customer lending was 47%. Within personal customer lending, mortgage

lending accounted for 77%.



There was no major change in the composition of the corporate loan

portfolio during the first half of the year. Real estate management

remains the largest industry exposure in the credit portfolio and

amounts to EUR 7.4bn, representing 13% of the total portfolio. The

lending portfolio is well diversified.



At the end of June 2007, individually assessed impaired loans, net,

amounted to EUR 406m (379) representing 0.4% of total loans and

receivables before allowances, which was on the same level as at

year-end.



Off-balance sheet commitments

The total amount of off-balance sheet commitments increased to EUR

26.8bn (22.7). The increase mainly related to guarantees and stand-by

facilities. The volumes of derivatives have continued to grow and

they amounted to EUR 2,714bn (2,259).



Changes in the group structure

Nordea Finance Finland Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NBF, sold

the real estate company Kiint. Oy Lahden Hansa in February 2007.



Nordea Bank Finland Plc invested in the newly founded private equity

fund Profita Fund III Ky in May 2007. NBF's share of the total

capital invested is 27.7%.



Changes in the Board of Directors

After Lars G Nordström retired on 13 April 2007, the Board of

Directors appointed Christian Clausen Chairman of the Board of

Directors on 7 May 2007. Board member Tom Ruud and deputy member

Jacob Grinbaum left the Board on 1 May 2007. The extraordinary

general meeting on 7 May 2007 confirmed the number of Board members

to be five. NBF's Board members Christian Clausen, Markku Pohjola,

Carl-Johan Granvik, Arne Liljedahl and Peter Schütze continue in

their positions.



Long Term Incentive Programme

In April 2007, the Annual General Meeting of Nordea Bank AB resolved

to introduce a Long Term Incentive Programme (LTIP). The programme

grants rights to Nordea Bank AB's shares directly to employees of

NBF. The programme comprises up to 400 managers and key employees of

the Nordea Group. The main objective of LTIP is to strengthen

Nordea's ability to retain and recruit the best talent for key

leadership positions. For further information see Note 1.



Risks and uncertainties

Nordea's revenue base reflects the Group's business with a large and

diversified customer base, comprising both retail and corporate

customers, representing different geographic areas and industries.

Nordea has mainly an exposure to the general and industry specific

economic development in the geographical areas in which the Group

operates.



Nordea's main risk exposure is credit risk. The Group also assumes

market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. There is no major

change to the risk composition of the Group compared to what is

disclosed in 2006 Annual Report.



None of the above exposures and risks is expected to have any

significant adverse effect on the Group or its financial position in

the next six months.



Within the framework of normal business operations, the Group faces

claims in civil lawsuits and other disputes, most of which involve

relatively limited amounts. None of these disputes is considered

likely to have any significant adverse effect on the Group or its

financial position in the next six months.



Outlook 2007

The organic growth strategy consistently pays off. The strong revenue

growth is expected to continue in the second half of 2007.



As previously stated, the cost increase in the Nordea Group for the

full-year 2007 is expected to be of the same magnitude as in 2006, ie

4-5%, and the gap between revenue and cost growth for the full year

2007 is expected to be 3-4 %-points, excluding banking operations in

Russia. The cost increase for the full- year, including Orgresbank

and planned investments in Russia, is expected to be approx. 6%. This

corresponds to a forecasted gap in the area of 2-3%-points, including

Nordea's Russian banking operations.



The quality of the credit portfolio in the Nordea Group remains

strong. It is however likely that lower recoveries during the latter

part of the year will result in actual net charges in the coming

quarters.



Following the reduction of the corporate tax rate in Denmark the

average standard tax rate for the Nordea Group's business is approx.

26%. The effective tax rate for 2007 is expected to be 4-6 %-points

lower than this average.



Nordea Bank Finland is expected to contribute to the development

above.

Notes



Note 1 Accounting policies

NBF's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance

with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed

by the EU, the Finnish Accounting Act and to applicable parts

according to the Finnish Credit Institutions Act, the Financial

Supervision Authority's regulations and Guidelines and the Decree of

the Ministry of Finance on the financial statements and consolidated

financial statements of credit institutions.



These statements have not been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,

Interim Financial Reporting and the report is unaudited.



Basis for presentation

The accounting policies and the basis for calculations are, in all

material aspects, unchanged in comparison with the 2006 Annual

Report.



Share-based payments

As mentioned in the text, a share-based payment programme, referred

to as the "Long Term Incentive Programme", was introduced in the

second quarter. The fair value of the share rights was measured on

the grant date and will be recognised as an expense over a period of

24 months.



The total number of share rights in Nordea's Long Term Incentive

Programme represents a maximum of 3,120,000 ordinary shares, of which

650,000 are Matching Shares and 1,950,000 are Performance Shares. The

remaining 520,000 ordinary shares are available to cover mainly

social security costs. The value of the rights is recognised in the

income statement with a corresponding increase in unrestricted

equity. Social expenses are accrued until paid. The exercise prices

of Matching Shares and Performance Shares are respectively EUR 4 and

EUR 2. On the grant date the market values of the share rights were

EUR 8.76 and 10.49 respectively. The expected amount, EUR 18m, is

expensed over a period of 24 months. The maximum cost for LTIP 2007

equals approximately EUR 39m.



The expenses in NBF, equal to the amount at which the services from

the employees are measured, will be met by shareholders'

contribution. The current number of outstanding rights is 83,161. The

expected cost for the programme amounts to EUR 3m, and is recognised

over a period of 24 months. The maximum cost in NBF equals

approximately EUR 6m. NBF has expensed EUR 0.1m in the first half of

2007.

Note 8 Capital Adequacy



In 2007 new regulations for calculating capital adequacy, referred to

as Basel II, have been implemented. The new capital framework is

based on a three-pillar approach, namely Pillar 1, minimum capital

requirements, Pillar 2, the supervisory review, and Pillar 3, market

discipline.



The main change compared to the former regulations, referred to as
Basel I, is the introduction of a new risk type, operational risk.

Moreover, different levels of sophistication for calculating credit

risk and operational risk exist and incentives for the more advanced

and risk sensitive methods are given. Further, the minimum capital

requirement should be assessed in an Internal Capital Adequacy

Assessment Process (ICAAP) to ensure that the institution under

supervision is adequately capitalised and will remain so over the

foreseeable future.



Basel II will not immediately become fully effective from a capital

adequacy perspective since a transition period is stipulated, in

which capital floors calculated based on Basel I set limits to the

potential capital decrease. In 2007, the lowest accepted amount for

RWA is 95% of the amount calculated in accordance with the Basel I

regulations, for 2008 it is limited to 90% and 2009 to 80%. The

transition period will end in 2010.



Nordea will gradually implement the more advanced methods to

calculate minimum capital requirements.



For credit risk, Nordea has been approved to use foundation Internal

Rating Based (IRB) methods for the Corporate and Institutions

exposure classes from the second quarter 2007, which cover more than

50% of Nordea's credit portfolios. The other exposure classes, e.g.

Retail and Sovereign are calculated according to the standardised

methods. Nordea will gradually apply the advanced IRB approach. The

next step will be to start the implementation according to the IRB

method for the Retail exposure class. The foundation IRB method

allows the institution to use its internal rating system and own

estimates of Probability of Default (PD) whereas the advanced IRB

method also allows the institution to use internal models and

estimates of Loss Given Default (LGD) and Credit Conversion Factors

(CCF).



For market risk, Nordea received the approval Q4 2006 under Basel I

for using the internal VaR models for calculating general and

specific risk for the larger part of the trading book portfolio.

Under a transition period the remaining part of the market risk in

the trading book is calculated using the standardised methods.



For operational risk, Nordea has chosen to use the standardised

approach for calculating the minimum capital requirement. The method

and the operational risk management framework have been reviewed by

the supervisors and assessed to fulfil all requirements for using the

standardised approach. Nordea has for several years been collecting

data on operational risk events, but no outright date for applying

for the advanced measurement approach has been set.



In May 2007 Nordea submitted an ICAAP report to the supervisors, i.e.

a report stating and explaining Nordea's required and available

capital including stressed scenarios. The required capital is

calculated based on Nordea's Economic Capital framework with

adjustments for stressed scenarios and other input, such as strategic

objectives. The available capital is calculated as the capital base.

The conclusion in the report is that Nordea is well capitalised even

under stressed scenarios. The supervisors will review the report

under the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process.



The final Basel II report will be submitted to the FSAs at a later

date and the RWAs presented in this report may be subject to

adjustments.
