Ålandsbanken - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
Interim Report for the period January - September 2010
Bank of Åland Plc STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 1.11.2010 09.00 hrs Interim Report for the period January - September 2010 The report period in brief Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was consolidated for the first time on March 31, 2009, which means that the company's balance sheet was included in the Bank of Åland Group, while its earnings for Q1 2009 were not. During Q2 2009, the Bank of Åland Group recognised EUR 23.1 M in negative goodwill as income. Consolidated earnings and financial ratios for 2010 are thus not comparable to the corresponding data for 2009. -Consolidated net operating profit excluding negative goodwill decreased to 0.2 million euros (January-Sepember 2009: EUR 7.8 M). -Net interest income decreased by 6 per cent to EUR 27.8 M (29.4) -Commission income increased by 32 per cent to EUR 29.7 M (22.5) -Total income increased by 12 per cent to EUR 72.0 M (64.1) -Expenses rose by 23 per cent to EUR 66.5 M (54.2) -Impairment losses on loans amounted to EUR 5.5 M (2.4) -Lending volume increased by 5 per cent to EUR 2,547 M (Sepember 2009: 2,437) -Deposits increased by 4 per cent to EUR 2,459 M (Sepember 2009: 2,375) -Managed assets increased by 37 per cent to EUR 3,853 M (Sepember 2009: 2,811) -The total capital ratio in compliance with Basel 2 amounted to 12.5 per cent (12.9) -Compared to the second quarter of 2009, consolidated net operating profit (excluding negative goodwill) amounted to EUR 2.1 M (April-June 2009: -1.2) -The Group's operational earnings in 2010, excluding non-recurring income, are expected to be substantially lower than in 2009. One of the reasons for this is that the Bank of Åland recognised an impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M when a corporate customer in Finland was declared bankrupt. The Group's operational earnings for the last quarter of 2010 is projected to be at the same level as in the first two quarters of the year. Earnings and profitability This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) that have been adopted by the European Union, as well as with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. Earnings summary for the report period The consolidated earnings of the Bank of Åland Group during the first nine months of 2010 were slightly positive, despite the fact that the Bank of Åland recognised a loan impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M during the period because a corporate customer in Finland was declared bankrupt. The Group's managed assets continued to show very good growth, climbing to EUR 3.9 billion. Lending and deposit volume increased moderately. Net interest income fell due to low market interest rates and a continued squeeze on margins, but the trend reversed during the second and third quarters of 2010. Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd's operations expanded during the period, contributing to higher “Other operating income”. During the period, the operations of Ålandsbanken Sverige AB were loss-making. Third quarter earnings were weighed down by a dependence on commission income in Swedish operations. During January-September 2010, the consolidated net operating profit of the Bank of Åland Group − excluding negative goodwill − decreased to EUR 0.2 M (Jan-Sep 2009: 7.8). During the second quarter of 2009, the Group recognised negative goodwill of EUR 23.1 M as income, due to its purchase of Kaupthing Bank Sverige AB. Income excluding negative goodwill increased by 12 per cent to EUR 72.0 M (64.1), while expenses rose by 23 per cent to EUR 66.5 M (54.2). Return on equity after taxes (ROE) decreased to -1.7 (36.5) per cent, and earnings per share to EUR -0.22 (2.35). The loss at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB during the report period totalled EUR 11.1 M. The subsidiary group Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was consolidated in the Bank of Åland Group for the first time on March 31, 2009. This meant that the company was included in the statement of financial position, while earnings for 2009 did not include effects generated in Ålandsbanken Sverige AB during the first quarter of 2009. This affects comparability between the periods. The allocation between the Group's Finnish and Swedish business areas can be found in the table entitled “Earnings, operations in Finland and Sweden” on page 10. Net interest income During the report period, consolidated net interest income increased by 6 per cent to EUR 27.8 M (29.4). Ålandsbanken Sverige AB had net interest income of EUR 3.8 M. Rising margins and higher lending volume had a positive impact, while shrinking deposit margins and higher refinancing costs depressed the Group's net interest income. The Group reclassified valuations from “Net interest income” to “Net income from securities transactions and foreign exchange dealing” to ensure comparability between periods. This reclassification amounted to EUR 0.6 M in the first quarter and EUR 1.0 M in the second quarter. The reclassification had no impact on earnings and thus did not affect earnings per share. Lending volume rose by 5 per cent to EUR 2,547 M (2,428). Deposit volume increased by 4 per cent to EUR 2,459 M (2,375). Other income Commission income rose by 32 per cent to EUR 29.7 M (22.5). Income from securities transactions as well as mutual fund and asset management continued to increase sharply due to the Group's focus on private banking and the good stock market trend. Commission income at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB amounted to EUR 11.5 M. Net income from securities trading for the Bank's own account was EUR 0.6 M (2.9). Net income from dealing in the foreign exchange market improved to EUR 2.6 M (1.5). Net income from financial assets available for sale was EUR 1.3 M (0.3), and net income from investment properties increased to EUR 1.6 M (0.2). Other operating income increased to EUR 13.3 M (10.4) as a consequence of higher income from the sale and development of information technology (IT) systems. The Group's total income, excluding negative goodwill, increased by 12 percent to EUR 72.0 M (64.1). Expenses Staff costs rose by 24 per cent to EUR 38.8 M (31.2) as a consequence of employee recruitments at Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd plus salary hikes as provided by collective agreements. Changes in the Bank's pension fund, Ålandsbanken Abp:s Pensionsstiftelse, according to the corridor approach reduced staff costs by EUR 0.3 M (0.1). Other administrative expenses (office, marketing, communications and IT) increased to EUR 13.5 M (11.7). Production for own use totalled EUR 2.9 M (1.1) and was related to expenses for computer software, which in accordance with IFRSs must be capitalised. Depreciation/amortisation increased to EUR 5.2 M (4.8). Other operating expenses amounted to EUR 11.9 M (7.6), of which EUR 5.4 M arose at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. The Group's total expenses rose by 23 per cent to EUR 66.5 M (54.2). Impairment losses on loans and other commitments Impairment losses on loans rose to EUR 5.5 M (2.4). The increase was due to an impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M targeted to a corporate customer in Finland. All impairment losses were individually targeted. The Group's impairment losses during the year amounted to 0.21 per cent of its loan portfolio, which is below average for the Finnish commercial banking industry. THIRD QUARTER OF 2010 Compared to the third quarter of 2009, the Group's net operating profit (excluding negative goodwill) declined to EUR -4.1 M (Q3 2009: 2.7). Income Total income (excluding negative goodwill) increased by 7 per cent to EUR 23.1 M (21.6). Net interest income decreased by 8 per cent to EUR 9.4 M (10.2) due to low interest rates and higher refinancing expenses. Commission income amounted to EUR 9.1 M (9.4). Commission income on mutual funds and asset management improved during the period, while commission income from securities trading, lending and payment intermediation decreased. Net income from securities transactions and foreign exchange dealing increased to EUR 0.5 M (0.4). Other operating income increased to EUR 4.3 M (3.1) as a consequence of higher income from IT operations. Expenses Total expenses increased by 14 per cent to EUR 21.8 M (18.9). During the quarter, staff costs amounted to EUR 12.3 M (11.3). Other administrative expenses increased to EUR 4.8 M (4.2) during the third quarter, primarily because of higher external computer expenses. Due to increased property rents, other operating expenses rose to EUR 3.8 M (2.5). Deposits Deposits from the public, including bonds and certificates of deposit issued, increased by 4 per cent to EUR 2,459 M (2,375), of which EUR 375 M (274) consisted of deposits at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. Deposit accounts rose by 2 per cent to EUR 2,030 M (1,999). Bonds and certificates of deposit issued to the public increased by 14 per cent to EUR 429 M (376). Lending The volume of lending to the public increased by 5 per cent and amounted to EUR 2,547 M (2,437). The volume of lending at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was EUR 206 M (133). Lending to households increased by 5 per cent to EUR 1,742 M (1,654). Households accounted for 68 (68) per cent of the Group's total lending volume. Lending to companies rose by 2 per cent to EUR 778 M (759). Balance sheet total and off-balance sheet obligations At the end of the report period, the Group's balance sheet total was EUR 3,492 M (3,321). During the period, the Group issued debenture loans 1/2010 and 2/2010 in the amount of EUR 29 M. Off-balance sheet obligations rose to EUR 342 M (340). ASsets under management The Group's managed assets rose to EUR 3,853 M (2,811) during the report period. Management of mutual fund units rose by 29 per cent to EUR 923 M (716), while assets under discretionary management increased by 43 per cent to EUR 1,521 M (1,074). Personnel Hours worked in the Group during the third quarter, recalculated to full-time equivalent positions, totalled 666 (678) positions, which represented a decrease by 12 positions compared to the preceding year. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bank of Åland Group | Jul-Sep 2010 | Jul-Sep 2009 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bank of Åland Plc | 301 | 312 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ab Compass Card Oy Ltd | 5 | 5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd | 192 | 160 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Asset | 25 | 19 | | Management Ab | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Fondbolag Ab | 7 | 6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Equities Ab | 9 | 7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Sverige Ab | 127 | 169 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total number of full-time equivalent | 666 | 678 | | positions, recalculated from hours worked | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expense/income ratio Efficiency measured as expenses divided by income, including and excluding loan losses, respectively: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bank of Åland Group | Sep 30, 2010 | Sep 30, 2009 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Exkluding negative goodwill | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Including loan losses | 1.00 | 0.88 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Excluding loan losses | 0.92 | 0.84 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital adequacy The Group is reporting capital adequacy in accordance with Pillar 1 in the Basel 2 regulations. The Group's total capital ratio at the end of September 2010 was 12.5 per cent. The capital requirement for credit risks has been calculated according to the standardised approach, and the capital requirement for operational risks according to the basic indicator approach in the Basel 2 regulations. Risk management under Pillar 2 will be reported in the Annual Report for 2009. The Bank of Åland will endeavour to begin applying an Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach in compliance with Basel 2 to calculate its capital adequacy requirement for credit risk, starting in 2011. An application requesting approval for the use of Basel 2's IRB approach for calculating the capital adequacy requirement for credit risk was submitted to the Finnish Financial Supervision Authority during the report period. Our assessment, according to the current regulations, is that this will substantially improve the Bank of Åland's capital adequacy.

CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE On May 31, 2010, the Bank of Åland Plc acquired the minority interest in Ålandsbanken Equities Ab. After this transaction, the Bank owns 100 per cent of Ålandsbanken Equities Ab. A process has been initiated to merge Ålandsbanken Equities Ab with the Bank of Åland Plc, and this merger is expected to be completed during 2010. Important events after the close of the report period No important events have occurred after the close of the report period. Outlook for 2010 Most observers expect a continued gradual recovery in the general economy and in the financial system during 2010, but the economic situation will remain uncertain and there is thus great sensitivity. The trend towards rising interest rates is expected to start benefiting net interest income in traditional banking operations. The fourth quarter of the year traditionally has higher commission income than the third quarter, and this is expected to have a favourable impact on earnings. The effect of cost-cutting measures in the Group's business operations in Sweden is projected to be significantly larger than the previously announced EUR 1.5 M. The reduction in expenses is expected to achieve its full impact from the beginning of 2011. A good influx of customers and increased customer activity in the Group's Swedish business operations are expected to result in rising commission income. Combined with lower expenses, this means that earnings in Sweden are expected to be significantly better than during the second and third quarter of 2010. Due to these and other factors, the Group expects its net operating profit during the last quarter of 2010 to be at about the same level as its first and second quarter earnings. The Group's assessment of the outlook for 2010 is based on its assumptions about future developments in the fixed income and financial markets. However, general interest rates, the demand for lending, the trend of the capital and financial markets and the competitive situation, as well as the general economic situation are factors that the Group cannot influence. Based on this assessment and taking into account that the Group's earnings in 2009 included sizeable non-recurring income attributable to negative goodwill from the acquisition of Kaupthing Bank Sverige AB, earnings in 2010 are expected to be substantially lower than in 2009. One of the reasons for this is that the Bank of Åland recognised an impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M when a corporate customer in Finland was declared bankrupt. The Group's operational earnings for the last quarter of 2010 is projected to be at the same level as in the first two quarters of the year. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

report 1. Corporate information The Bank of Åland Plc (Ålandsbanken Abp) is a Finnish public company, organised in compliance with Finnish legislation and with its Head Office in Mariehamn. The Bank of Åland Plc is a commercial bank with a total of 28 offices. Through its subsidiary Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd, the Bank of Åland Group is also a supplier of modern banking computer systems for small and medium-sized banks. The Head Office of the Parent Company has the following address: Bank of Åland Plc Nygatan 2 AX-22100 Mariehamn, Åland, Finland The shares of the Bank of Åland Plc are traded on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Oy (Helsinki Stock Exchange). The Interim Report for the financial period January 1 - September 30, 2010 was approved by the Board of Directors on October 29 , 2010. 2. Basis for preparation and essential accounting principles Basis for preparation The Interim Report for the period January 1 - September 30, 2010 has been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting,” that have been adopted by the European Union. The Interim Report does not contain all information and notes required in annual financial statements and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009. Essential accounting principles The essential accounting principles used in preparing the Interim Report are the same as the essential accounting principles used in preparing the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009, except for the introduction of new standards and interpretations, which are described below. The introduction of new standards and interpretations has not materially affected the Group's results or financial position. As from April 1, 2010, the Bank of Åland Abp is applying hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39, unlike what was stated in the Annual Report for 2009. Hedge accounting is used in order to hedge the foreign exchange risk on the Group's equity in Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. This means that the derivatives that protect this equity are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet in the same way as exchange rate changes in “Other comprehensive income”. Hedge accounting is expected to provide a more true and fair picture of the Group's financial results. New accounting norms and standards that apply starting in 2010: Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2009) IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments” IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” IAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” IAS 39 Financial instrument: Recognition and Measurement” - Eligible Hedged Items IFRIC 12, “Service Concession Arrangements” IFRIC 15, “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate” IFRIC 16, “Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation” IFRIC 17, “Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners” IFRIC 18, “Transfers of Assets from Customers” 3. Estimates and judgements Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the company's Executive Team to make estimates and judgements that affect the recognised amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses as well as disclosures about commitments. Although these estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Executive Team on current events and measures, the actual outcome may diverge from the estimates. 4. Segment report The Bank of Åland Group reports operating segments in compliance with IFRS 8, which means that operating segments reflect the information that the Group's Executive Team receives. The Finland segment includes the Bank of Åland Plc, Ab Compass Card Oy Ltd, Ålandsbanken Asset Management Ab, Ålandsbanken Equities Ab, Ålandsbanken Fondbolag Ab and Ålandsbanken Veranta Ab. The Sweden segment includes Ålandsbanken Sverige AB, Ålandsbanken Fonder AB and Alpha Management Company S.A.

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for preparing the Interim Report and for providing accurate and sufficient information in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) as well as in accordance with the other prevailing laws and regulations in Finland concerning the preparation of interim reports. On the basis of the review we have performed, at the request of the Board we are issuing our statement of opinion on the Interim Report in compliance with the Finnish Securities Markets Act, Chapter 2, Section 5a, Paragraph 7. SCOPE OF A REVIEW This review was conducted in compliance with the standard on review engagements, Standard 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Company”. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons chiefly responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially more limited in scope than an audit, which must be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and recommendations. It is consequently not possible for us to gain confirmation that we are obtaining information about all those significant circumstances that might be identified in an audit. We are thus not issuing an audit report. STATEMENT OF OPINION On the basis of our review, to our knowledge no circumstances have emerged that would give us reason to believe that the Interim Report does not provide accurate and sufficient disclosures about the financial position of the Bank of Åland Group on September 30, 2010 and its operating results and cash flows during the nine-month period ending on that date, in compliance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and in accordance with the other prevailing laws and regulations in Finland concerning the preparation of interim reports.
