Aktia Bank plc Interim Report for the Bank Group 1 January - 31 March 2009      



Activity of the report period                                                   

Profit                                                                          

The operating profit of the Bank Group for continuing operations during the     
first quarter was EUR 11.5 million. Profit for the period after tax was EUR 8.2 
million.                                                                        

Aktia Bank plc agreed to sell its shares in Aktia Life Insurance Ltd to the     
group's parent company Aktia plc under the condition that ownership, tenure and 
all other management rights attributable to the shareholders are transferred    
once it is clear that the Financial Supervisory Authority does not oppose the   
acquisition. The price reflects the life insurance company's book net worth as  
at 28 February 2009 of EUR 45.5 million and the transaction will have no effect 
on the Bank Group's profit. The Aktia Bank Group's capital adequacy ratio will, 
however, improve marginally. Aktia Life Insurance is reported as a business     
being discontinued in the Bank Group.                                           

Aktia Bank plc's new division of operating segments has been changed with effect
from 1 January 2009, with the Retail Banking and Corporate Banking & Treasury   
segments being combined under the Banking Business segment. The other operating 
segments are Asset Management and Other. The Other segment encompasses certain  
administrative functions within Aktia Bank plc and return on equity. Comparative
figures for 2008 relating to the new segmentation were published on 8 April     
2009.                                                                           

The banking business returned a profit of EUR 12.0 million. Asset management    
suffered as a result of the situation in the investment market and returned an  
operating profit of EUR -0.4 million.                                           


Income                                                        

The Bank Group's total income was EUR 40.7 million, of which net interest income
accounted for EUR 32.4 million. The derivatives used by Aktia to limit its      
interest rate risk had a positive impact to the tune of EUR 2.0 million during  
the period.                                                                     

Net commission income totalled EUR 8.0 million. Commission income from asset    
management and brokering amounted to EUR 2.5 million. Fund and insurance        
brokerage generated income totalling EUR 3.7 million, accounting for 31.9% of   
the commission income. Card and payment services commission was EUR 2.8 million.
Total commission costs were EUR 3.5 million. Among the commission costs, the    
commission paid to savings and local co-operative banks for brokered mortgages  
amounted to EUR 0.9 million.                                                    

Other operating income totalled EUR 0.7 million.                                

Expenditure                                                                     

The Bank Group's total costs were EUR 27.7 million.                             

Staff costs totalled EUR 11.8 million. Other administration expenses amounted to
EUR 10.7 million. Among other administration expenses, the largest cost items   
are primarily attributed to communication and IT, which accounted for 43.5% of  
other administration expenses.                                                  

Depreciation and write-downs on tangible and intangible assets totalled EUR 1.2 
million. Other operating costs totalled EUR 4.0 million. The expenses for rented
premises accounted for more than half of the other operating expenses overall.  

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet                                             
commitments                                                                     

The Bank Group's balance sheet total amounted to EUR 8,859 million (EUR 9,520   
million at 31 December 2008) at the end of the period.      
Total lending to the public by the Bank Group increased from the year-end by    
3.1% to EUR 5,599 million (EUR 5,432 million at 31 December 2008). Households   
accounted for 80.4% of the total credit stock or EUR 4,499 million. Of the loans
extended to households, 86.5% were secured against housing collateral (according
to Basel 2). Excluding Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank's loans brokered and     
capitalised by savings and local co-operative banks, lending by the banking     
group amounted to EUR 4,514 million.                                            

Interest-bearing securities available for sale were EUR 2,379 million (EUR 2,808
million at 31 December 2008). These assets mainly consist of the banking        
business' liquidity reserve and can be used as security for transactions        
involving binding repurchase terms, known as repo agreements.                   

Deposits from the public and public sector entities amounted to a total of EUR  
3,105 million (EUR 3,099 million 31 December 2008). These deposits are          
strengthening Aktia's liquidity in a volatile market.                           

Outstanding Aktia certificates of deposit amounted to EUR 350 million at the end
of the period.                                                                  

Off-balance sheet commitments totalled EUR 580 million (EUR 533 million at 31   
December 2008). Credit equivalents for derivative instruments are not included  
in off-balance sheet commitments, as their market value is now incorporated into
the balance sheet.                                                              

The Bank Group's equity amounted to EUR 299 million (EUR 300 million at 31      
December 2008) at the end of the reporting period. The Group's fund at fair     
value amounted to EUR -10 million (EUR -35 million at 31 December 2008).        


Capital adequacy                                                                

The Aktia Bank Group's capital adequacy amounted to 14.2%.     

The Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.0%. Capital adequacy, calculated according to the
Basel 2 rules, was improved by Aktia Bank selling Aktia Life Insurance to Aktia 
plc in March, thus avoiding deductions for holdings in the insurance company in 
the capital adequacy calculation mentioned. The Bank Group's capital adequacy   
remains strong and meets the capital adequacy target, clearly exceeding the     
regulatory requirements.                                                        


Rating                                                                          

Aktia Bank plc's credit rating by the international credit rating agency Moody's
Investors Service has been confirmed as the best classification, P-1, for       
short-term borrowing. The credit ratings for long-term borrowing and financial  
strength were A1 and C respectively, all with stable prospects.                 

The subsidiary Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank Plc has issued covered bonds with
the highest credit rating of Aaa from Moody's Investors Service.                


Valuation of financial assets                                                   

Value changes reported via the fund at fair value                               
Negative changes in the value of interest-bearing securities where the issuer   
has not noted an inability to pay and negative changes in the value of shares   
and participations which are not deemed to be long-term or significant are      
reported in the fund at fair value, which for the Group, taking cash flow       
hedging into consideration, amounted to EUR -11 million after deferred tax,     
compared with EUR -35 million at 31 December 2008.                              

In the fund at fair value as at 31 March 2009, EUR 22 million was attributed to 
negative valuation differences in interest-bearing securities which are mainly  
due to continued poor liquidity and investor's demands for high returns as a    
results of the general uncertainty in the money market. These negative changes  
in the value of interest-bearing securities are not realised provided that the  
issuer does not become unable to pay or the security is realised before its     
maturity.

Write-downs of loan and guarantee claims                                        
Write-downs based on individual examination of loan and guarantee claims        
totalled EUR -1.7 million. Reversals of previously booked losses amounted to    
EUR 0.1 million so that the cost effect on the profit for the period was        
EUR -1.6 million. In addition to individual write-downs, group write-downs were 
made where there were objective reasons to believe there was uncertainty in     
relation to the repayment of claims in underlying credit portfolios. Group      
write-downs for households and small companies stood at EUR 7.4 million,        
unchanged from the year-end, and are based on anticipated losses in relation to 
the market situation.

Lending-related risks within banking                                            

There were no significant changes to the composition of the credit portfolio    
during the first quarter. The share of household loans increased slightly to    
80.4% (80.0%) of the total credit stock. The share of housing loans within the  
total loan stock also increased slightly to 76.6% (74.4%). Of the loans to      
households, 86.5% are secured against adequate collateral in accordance with    
Basel 2. Mortgage lending totalled EUR 2,123 (EUR 1,968 million at 31 December  
2008), of which EUR 1,085 million was brokered by savings and local co-operative
banks.                 

Corporate lending reduced as planned to 14.3% (14.4%) of the credit stock.      
Lending to the public secured by collateral objects or unsecured within the

The Bank Group's financing and liquidity risks                                  

Within the banking business, financing and liquidity risks are defined as the   
availability of refinancing plus the differences in maturity between assets and 
liabilities. The financing and liquidity risks are dealt with at legal company  
level, and there is no financing connection between the Bank Group and the      
insurance companies. The objective in the Bank Group is to be able to cover one 
year's financing requirements using existing liquidity. Despite considerable    
uncertainty in the financial markets, the liquidity status was good and this aim
was achieved.                                       


Counterparty risks                                                              


Counterparty risks within Group Treasury liquidity management                   
At 31 March 2009, the banking business' liquidity portfolio - which is managed  
by Group Treasury - stood at EUR 2,327 million (EUR 2,290 at 31 December 2008). 
Counterparty risks arising in relation to liquidity management operations and   
entry into derivative contracts are managed through the requirement for         
high-level external ratings (minimum A3 rating from Moody's or equivalent),     
conservative allocation and active selection of investment assets and rules     
concerning maximum exposure per counterparty and asset category.                

Of the financial assets available for sale, 51% (49% at 31 December 2008) were  
investments in covered bonds, 36% (45% at 31 December 2008) were investments in 
banks, 9% (3% at 31 December 2008) were investments in state-guaranteed bonds   
and approximately 4% (3% at 31 December 2008) were investments in public sector 
entities and companies. Of the financial assets, 1.1% did not meet the internal 
rating requirements, while seven securities with a total market value of EUR 25 
million were no longer eligible for refinancing with the central bank.          

During the quarter, EUR -0.4 million in write-downs were carried out as a result
of the issuer having noted an inability to pay.

Market risks                                                                    

The financial assets within the banking business are invested in securities with
access to market prices on an active market, and are valued in accordance with  
official quoted prices. A significant or long-term fall in acquisition price    
compared to market value is reported in the income statement while interest rate
fluctuations are reported under the fund at fair value after deductions for     
deferred tax.                                                                   

Market value and structural interest rate risk within the banking business      
Market value interest rate risk refers to changes in value as a result of       
interest rate fluctuations in financial assets available for sale. The net      change in the fund at fair value, including reserve for cash flow hedging,      
relating to market value interest rate risk posted during the period totalled   
EUR -5.3 million after the deductions for deferred tax. With an interest rate   
increase of one percentage point for financial assets available for sale, the   
net change of the fund at fair value at 31 March 2009 would be EUR -27.1 million
(EUR -27.2 million at 31 December 2008) after the deduction of deferred tax.    

Structural interest rate risk arises as a result of an imbalance between        
interest rate ties and the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, and affects net
interest income. To reduce the volatility in the net interest income, structural
interest rate risk is primarily contained through the use of hedging derivative 
instruments.                                                                    

A parallel upward shift in the interest rate curve of one percentage point would
reduce the net interest income of the banking business for the next 12 months by
-5.4% (-5.4% at 31 December 2008), while the target for structural interest rate
risk management is a maximum of -6%. For the next 12-24 months, the net interest
income of the banking business would reduce by -1.0% (-6.0% at 31 December      
2008), where the target for structural interest rate risk management is a       
maximum of -8%.                                                                 

A parallel downward shift in the interest rate curve of one percentage point    
would increase the net interest income of the banking business for the next 12  
months by +5.3% (+6.3% at 31 December 2008), while the target for structural    
interest rate risk management is a maximum of -6%. For the next 12-24 months,   
the net interest income of the banking business would increase by +2.5% (+7.9%  
at 31 December 2008), where the target for structural interest rate risk        
management is a maximum of -8%.                                                 


Operational risks                                                               

Operational risks refer to loss risks arising as a result of unclear or         
incomplete instructions, activities carried out contrary to instructions,       
unreliable information, deficient systems or actions taken by staff members. If 
an operational risk is realised, this can result in direct or indirect financial
losses or tarnish the corporate image to the extent that the bank's credibility 
in the market place suffers. No significant incidents were registered during the
reporting period.                                                               

Personnel                                                                       


Converted into full-time employees, the number of staff employed by the Bank    
Group fell by 135 to 746 people at the end of the reporting period. The average 
number of full-time employees during the first quarter was 848.                 

With effect from 1 January 2009, Aktia Non-Life Insurance's Managing Director   
Anders Nordman is responsible for Aktia Bank's Corporate Banking.               

Events after end of the reporting period                                        

Moody's Investors Service Ltd confirmed Aktia Bank plc's credit rating as A1 for
long-term borrowing, P-1 for short-term borrowing and C for financial strength, 
all with stable prospects.                                                      

B.Sc. (Econ.) Magnus Backström, 51, has been appointed as the Managing Director 
of Aktia Asset Management. He will assume his position on 1 June 2009.          

The Financial Supervisory Authority announced on 28 April 2009 that it does not 
oppose Aktia plc's acquisition of shares in Aktia Life Insurance Ltd by Aktia   
Bank plc as published in a Stock Exchange Release on 8 April 2009.              

The branch network in the Helsinki area, as well as in Turku and Tampere, has   
been modified so as to combine a number of smaller branches into larger branch  
centres.                   


Outlook and the risks that can affect it                                        

The Bank Group's operating profitability during 2009 is expected to remain at a 
stable level, unless the loan losses and risks in connection with individual    
investments are increased.                                                      
                                                                                
A sustained good credit rating and the capital base are expected to enable      
moderate growth and refinancing even in the current market situation. Decisions 
will be made on any use of state refinancing guarantees on commercial grounds.  
                                                                                
The importance of cost effectiveness will further increase in the current       
economic and competitive situation.                                             
                                                                                
An escalation of the financial unrest could even lead to permanent falls in the 
value of individual investments that are currently deemed to be of good quality.
This would have a negative effect on the Bank Group's result. In addition, a    
requirement for higher returns among investors may lead to a general price      
decrease in financial assets, which would have a negative effect on the Bank    
Group's capital adequacy.

Note 1 Basis for preparing the interim report and important accounting

Basis for preparing the interim report                                          

The Bank Group's financial statements are prepared in accordance with           
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU.       

The interim report for the period 1 January - 31 March 2009 has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim financial     
report does not contain all the information and notes required for an annual    
report and should therefore be read together with the Group's annual report of  
31 December 2008.                                                               

Aktia Bank plc's interim report can be downloaded from Aktia's website at       
www.aktia.com under the heading Financial information/interim reports.          

The interim report for the period 1 January - 31 March 2009 was approved by the 
Board of Directors on 12 May 2009.                                              

Important accounting principles                                                 

In preparing this interim report the Group has. for the most part. followed the 
accounting principles applicable to the annual report of 31 December 2008.      

In February 2009. Aktia Life Assurance was sold to Aktia plc. The life assurance
business is a separate segment in the banking group. With effect from 2009.     
Aktia Life Assurance is thus to be reported as a discontinued operation in      
accordance with IFRS 5. The comparative figures have been corrected to reflect  
the reporting for 2009.                                                         

The subsidiaries Aktia Card & Finance Ab. Aktia Corporate Finance AB and Aktia  
Asset Management Oy Ab have certain redemption clauses and. in accordance with  
IAS 32.25(a) have been moved from the minority interest to liabilities as at 31 
December 2008. During 2009. the change in this liability was reported under     
staff costs.                                                                    

New accounting standards effective from 2009                                    

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised)                            
This standard has been revised in order to provide better information for       
analysing and comparing companies. With effect from 1 January 2009, the group is
to report an income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The      
change in the group's equity contains transactions with the owners.             

IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes                                            
This interpretation deals with reporting on customer loyalty programmes. The    
group has a bonus scheme. Aktia Kortbonus. This bonus scheme has already been   
dealt with in the accounts in accordance with IFRIC 13. As a result, the        
introduction of this standard does not affect the group's profit or financial   
position. The bonus liability for the comparison year 2008 has been moved from  
other liabilities to the accruals.

Aktia Bank plc                                                                  
Board of Directors                                                              


Review Report on the Interim Report of Aktia BANK P.L.C. as of 31.3.2009        
To the Board of Directors of Aktia Bank p.l.c.                                  
Introduction                                                                    
We have reviewed the balance sheet as of 31.3.2009, the income statement, the   
statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Aktia Bank p.l.c. 
for the three-month period then ended, as well as a summary of significant      
accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the financial statements. The
Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with  
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU,   
and other Finnish rules and regulations governing the preparation of interim    
reports. At the request of the Board of Directors we issue our opinion on the   
interim report.                                                                 


Scope of review                                                                 
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements   
2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent      
Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of    
making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial accounting     
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is       
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the      
standards on auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices, and      
therefore the procedures performed in a review do not enable to obtain a level  
of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be  
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.        


Opinion                                                                         
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the Interim Report does not give a true and fair view of the entity's      
financial position as of 31 March 2009 and the result of its operations and cash
flows for the three-month period then ended, in accordance with the             
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and    
other applicable rules and regulations governing interim financial reporting    
preparation in Finland.
