STRONG OPERATING PROFIT AND BALANCE SHEET - LOAN BOOK REACHED ALMOST 1 BILLION
EUROS 

Operating profit increased to EUR 6 million

The Hypo Group operating profit for financial year 2013 reached EUR 6.0 million
as expected (5.2 million in 2012). 

Total assets of the Group increased to EUR 1 220 million (911 million). The net
impairments on loans  increased the profit by EUR 0.02 million (-0.03 million). 

The Group was successful in increasing the net interest income as planned. The
NII increased 53% due to the positive development both in the loan portfolio
and interest margins. 

Fee and commission income for the financial year increased to EUR 2.7 million
(2.3 million). 

Administrative expenses, depreciation and other expenses totalled EUR 8.1
million (6.7 million). The Group's average number of personnel was 36 (28).
Cost-to-income ratio was 57.4% (56.0%). The administrative expenses included
EUR 0.5 million of one-off items related to the reorganization of the Group.
Excluding the one-off items the cost-to-income ratio was 53.8%. 

The Group's operating profit calculated per average number of employees was EUR
167 000 (186 000). The Group's comprehensive income for the financial year 2013
was EUR 7.7 million (4.4 million) including the operating profit and changes in
equity due to changes in fair value reserves. 

The Group's recognition as a stable and strongly capitalized Finnish credit
institution and deposit taking bank increased further. The Group's customer
base remained stable at around 24 500. 

Loans secured by residential property continued to increase. Non-performing
loans at very low level. 

As a mortgage society, Hypo's loan portfolio is entirely secured by residential
property. The average LTV (loan-to-value) improved to 49.98% (51.03%). 

At year end 2013 Hypo's total loan portfolio stood at EUR 977.9 million (725.0
million). 

The quality of the loan portfolio remained good and the amount of
non-performing loans decreased to EUR 1.0 million (1.1 million) equaling 0.1%
of the total portfolio. 

Solid liquidity. Capital Adequacy at 18.5% by standard method.

The Group liquidity was strong throughout the financial year. The amount of
liquid assets including cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement,
combined with binding credit facilities, totalled EUR 205.6 million (141.9
million). Approximately 52% of cash and cash equivalents consisted of
investments with at least an AA rating, distributed widely across various
counterparties, and of debt securities tradable on the secondary market. 

The Group's capital adequacy was 18.5% (17.0%) calculated by the standard
method, which is more than twice the regulatory minimum. The capital adequacy
calculated from Tier 1 assets was 14.1 %  (15.9%). 

The quality and amount of Group's own funds was excellent regarding the current
and future business of the Group as well as unexpected developments in the
operating environment. 

Hypo Group as an investment is low risk yet profitable. Deposits and retail
bond funding increased by 21.4%. The Group's financing position remained
stable, and the deposit and retail bond funding increased. Total amount of
deposits and retail bonds increased by 21.4 percent, to EUR 374.7 million
(308.6 million) including deposits made by financial institutions. The share of
deposits and retail bonds accounted for 33.8 percent (38.1%) of total funding. 

The Mortgage Society of Finland has programs for issuance of EMTNs and
Certificate of Deposits. During the financial year 2013, nine bond issues were
completed totaling nominal capital of EUR 353.2 million. As at December 31,
2013 the amount of outstanding bonds and CDs stood at EUR 534.3 million (298.9
million) equaling 48.1% (36.9%) of total funding. 

Outlook for 2014

The general economic sentiment is considered to modestly improve but the
economic growth is nevertheless expected to remain subdued in 2014. The
economic cycle and interest rates are not expected to bring any substantial
changes to the prevailing situation in the Finnish housing market.  The
management is very confident that as a specialized mortgage institution, the
Mortgage Society of Finland has good possibilities to continue growing its
business in a profitable manner while managing risks also in 2014. The
management expects the Group operating profit for 2014 to exceed the 2013.
