EARNINGS AND PROFITABILITY                                                      
This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with the International      
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) approved by the European Union, as well   
with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. 

Earnings summary for the first half                                             
During the first half of 2007, consolidated net operating profit rose by 42 per 
cent to EUR 15.6 M (11.0). The main factors behind the increase in profit were a
continued rise in net interest income thanks to higher interest rates, improved 
income from information technology (IT) operations and higher commission income 
from mutual fund and asset management.                                          

Income increased by 25 per cent to EUR 37.8 M (30.1), while expenses rose by 14 
per cent to EUR 22.1 M (19.4). Return on equity after taxes (ROE) increased to  
18.6 (14.7) per cent, and earnings per share after taxes increased to EUR 0.95  
(0.71).                                                                         

Net interest income                                                             
During the report period, net interest income improved by 19 per cent to EUR    
18.9 M (15.9). Rising interest rates improved net interest income on deposits,  
while smaller customer lending margins were offset to some extent by higher     
volume. Lending volume increased by 11 per cent to EUR 1,996 M (1,797).         

Other income                                                                    
Commission income rose by 14 per cent to EUR 10.6 M (9.3). This increase largely
consisted of higher income on mutual fund and asset management and securities   
brokerage.                                                                      

Net income from securities trading for the Bank's own account was EUR 2.1 M     
(0.8). Net income from dealing in the foreign exchange market amounted to EUR   
0.5 M (0.5). Net income from financial assets available for sale was EUR 0.8 M  
(0.2). Net income from investment properties increased to EUR 0.6 M (0.0).      

Other operating income also increased, to EUR 5.3 M (4.3), due to rising income 
from the sale and development of computer systems. The Group's total income rose
by 25 per cent to EUR 37.8 M (30.1).                                            

Expenses                                                                        
Staff costs increased by 17 per cent to EUR 12.7 M (10.9), mostly due to efforts
under way in the Group's IT operations. This cost was also affected by the      
allocation of EUR 0.3 M to the Group's Personnel Fund during the first half of  
2007, while higher fair value of assets in the Bank's pension fund, Ålandsbanken
Abp:s Pensionsstiftelse, reduced staff costs by EUR 0.2 M (0.7).                

Other administrative expenses (office, marketing, telecommunications and IT)    
decreased to EUR 4.3 M (4.5) due to lower IT expenses. Production for own use   
totalled 0.2 M (0.2) and was related to expenses for computer software, which in
accordance with IFRS must be capitalised. Depreciation/amortisation increased to
EUR 2.4 M (2.0).                                                                

Other operating expenses amounted to EUR 2.9 M (2.3). The largest increases in  
expenses were attributable to rents and property expenses.                      

The Group's total expenses rose by 14 per cent to EUR 22.1 M (19.4).            

Expense/income ratio                                                            
The expense/income ratio decreased during the report period to 59 per cent,     
compared to 64 per cent during the first half of 2006. During the full year     
2006, the expense/income ratio was 66 per cent.                                 

Impairment loss on loans and other commitments                                  
Loan losses amounted to EUR 0.4 M (recovery of 0.1).                            

Second quarter of 2007                                                          
Compared to the second quarter of 2006, the Group's net operating profit rose by
62 per cent to EUR 7.5 M (Q  II 2006: 4.6).                                     

Income                                                                          
Total income increased by 32 per cent to EUR 19.3 M (14.6). A combination of    
higher interest rates, higher lending volume and lower lending margins increased
net interest income by 25 per cent to EUR 9.7 M (7.8). Lending volume increased 
to EUR 1,996 M (1,797).                                                         

Commission income improved, amounting to EUR 5.2 M (4.9). The increase consisted
of higher commission income on mutual funds and asset management. Net income    
from securities trading and foreign exchange operations rose to EUR 1.7 M (0.6).
Other operating income increased to EUR 2.5 M (2.0) as a consequence of higher  
income from IT operations.                                                      

Expenses                                                                        
Total expenses during the quarter increased by 15 per cent to EUR 11.7 M (10.2).
During the quarter, staff costs amounted to EUR 6.7 M (5.6). This increase was a
consequence of an increased number of Group employees, salary hikes in          
accordance with collective agreements and lower fair value of assets in the     
Bank's pension fund, Ålandsbanken Abp:s Pensionsstiftelse, during the quarter.  
Other administrative expenses decreased to EUR 2.4 M (2.5) during Q II 2007. Due
to higher property expenses and rents, other operating expenses increased to EUR
1.5 M (1.2).                                                                    

Balance sheet total and off-balance sheet obligations                           
At the end of the report period, the Group's balance sheet total was EUR 2,432 M
(2,066). The increase was a consequence of both higher lending volume and higher
deposit volume. During the period, the Group issued bond loans to the public in 
a nominal amount of EUR 34 M.                                                   

As a consequence of higher obligations for guarantees and pledges, plus other   
obligations, off-balance sheet obligations increased to EUR 191 M (169).        

Personnel                                                                       
Hours worked in the Group, recalculated to full-time equivalent positions,      
totalled 451 (434) during the first half of 2007. This represented an increase  
of 17 positions, compared to the year-earlier period. Most of the increase came 
from new recruitments at Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd.                     

Capital adequacy                                                                
For the first time, the Group is reporting capital adequacy in accordance with  
Pillar 1 in the Basel 2 regulations. Risk management under Pillar 2 will be     
reported in the Annual Report for 2007. According to Pillar 1 of Basel 2, the   
Group's total capital ratio at the end of June 2007 was 12.7 per cent. The      
capital requirement for credit risks is being calculated according to the       
standardised approach, and the capital requirement for operational risks is     
being calculated according to the basic indicator approach in the Basel 2       
regulations.                                                                    

Deposits                                                                        
Deposits from the public, including bonds and certificates of deposit issued,   
increased during the 12 months to June 30, 2007 by 13 per cent to EUR 1,726 M   
(1,531). Deposit accounts increased by 14 per cent to EUR 1,379 M (1,207). Bonds
and certificates of deposits issued to the public increased by 7 per cent to EUR
347 M (324).                                                                    

Lending                                                                         
The volume of lending to the public increased during the 12 months to June 30,  
2007 by 11 per cent to EUR 1,996 M (1,797). Most of the increase went towards   
residential financing. Lending to private households increased by 10 per cent to
EUR 1,399 M (1,267). Households accounted for 70 (71) per cent of the Group's   
total lending.

Outlook for 2007                                                                
The Group predicts higher interest rates during the second half of 2007, a      
continued positive trend in the mutual fund and capital markets as well as      
growth in the Group's IT operations. The cost level in the Group is expected to 
rise moderately. Competition in the banking market is expected to remain tough, 
which is reflected primarily in lending margins. Based on these factors,        
earnings in 2007 are expected to be substantially better than in the preceding  
year.                                                                           

The Group's assessment of the outlook for 2007 is based on its assumptions about
future developments in the fixed-income and financial markets. General interest 
rates, the demand for lending, the trend of the capital and financial markets   
and the competitive situation are factors that the Group cannot influence.      

Mariehamn, July 23, 2007

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT                                        

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Head Office has the following address:                                      
Bank of Åland Plc                                                               
Nygatan 3                                                                       
AX-22100 Mariehamn, Åland, Finland                                              

The Bank of Åland Plc is listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange.                 

The Interim Report for the financial period January 1-June 30, 2007 was approved
by the Board of Directors on July 20.                                           

2. BASIS FOR PREPARATION AND ESSENTIAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES                    

Basis for preparation                                                           
The Interim Report for the period January 1-June 30, 2007 was prepared in       
compliance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”.                          

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, 2006.	                              
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, 2006, 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.                                                  

The following new standards and interpretations have been introduced:           

IFRIC 14 “The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and
their Interaction”                                                              
This interpretation clarifies the limit on asset value in case of a pension plan
surplus, as well as how minimum pension plan funding requirements affect this   
value. The Group already meets the criteria stated in IFRIC 14.                 

The Group is not affected by amendments to the following:                       
IFRIC 13, “Customer Loyalty Programmes”                                         

3. ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS                                                     
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS 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 these estimates.                                       

4. ACQUISITIONS OF COMPANIES                                                    
During the report period, the Group made the following acquisitions, which are  
reported in compliance with IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”.

The Bank of Åland Group reports the various business segments as primary        
segments. A business segment is a group of departments and companies that supply
products or services that have risks and returns that diverge from other        
business segments. Intra-Group transactions occur at market prices. The Bank of 
Åland Group does not report geographic segments as secondary segments, since all
operations occur in Finland.

Review report                                                                   

To the shareholders of the Bank of Åland Abp                                    

We have conducted a review of the Interim Report of the Bank of Åland Abp for   
the period January 1 −                                                          
June 30, 2007.                                                                  

The Interim Report, which was issued by the Board of Directors and the Managing 
Director, includes a condensed income statement, balance sheet, cash flow       
statement, changes in equity capital and certain additional disclosures. After  
completing our assignment, we are issuing our statement of opinion about the    
Interim Report.                                                                 

Our review was conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Finnish  
Institute of Authorised Public Accountants concerning reviews. A review is      
planned and carried out on a sufficient scope to confirm that the Interim Report
does not contain essential errors or omissions. A review is mainly limited to   
interviews with the staff of the Bank and analytical examination measures. We   
have not conducted a complete audit and will thus not issue an audit report.    

On the basis of this review, to our knowledge no circumstances have emerged that
would give reason to assume that the Interim Report has not been prepared       
essentially in accordance with the accounting and valuation principles of the   
IFRS standards approved by the EU as well as other Finnish rules and regulations
concerning Interim Reports and that the Interim Report should not provide       
accurate and sufficient disclosures about the operating results and financial   
position of the Bank.
