Aktia Plc Interim report for 1 January - 30 September 2009
Strong third quarter
Operating profit was EUR 44.4 million (EUR 37.3 million), representing a clear
improvement to EUR 22.4 million (EUR 7.4 million) in July - September.
Net interest income continued to be strong at EUR 112.4 million (EUR 74.3
million), primarily thanks to a successful strategy for managing interest rate
risk. Net interest income for July - September amounted to EUR 40.5 million (EUR
25.2 million).
Earnings per share were EUR 0.50 (EUR 0.47), in July - September EUR 0.24 (EUR
0.10). Equity per share (net asset value) was EUR 6.51 (EUR 4.28) as at 30
September 2009.
Loan write-downs for January - September totalled EUR 26.3 million (EUR 0.3
million). This can be attributed to the weak economic situation. The credit
losses relate to corporate loans and are not expected to continue increasing at
the same pace. Corporate loans amount to only 13% of Aktia's total loan stock.
Aktia Bank plc's credit rating with Moody's Investors Service, the international
credit rating agency, remained unchanged.
Aktia series A and R shares were listed on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki exchange on
29 September 2009. The market value of the Aktia Group was approximately EUR 616
million at the end of the period.
Operating profit for the third quarter was exceptionally good, but the outlook
for the rest of the year is in line with the performance of the two first
quarters.
The CEO's comments
Operating profit for the first nine months of the year was strong, despite
considerably higher write-downs of loans. Net interest income has continued to
develop well, primarily thanks to successful management of interest rate risk.
We will continue to focus on cost efficiency.
Customers have liked our “Aktia Dialogue” concept. “Aktia Dialogue” is a tool
used to find comprehensive solutions for our customers and help them improve and
safeguard their personal finances. I was pleased to note that Aktia was once
again well placed in a survey of satisfied customers.
Aktia has started developing products in anticipation of the upcoming change in
the law change concerning long-term saving (“PS law”) and will be able to offer
new alternatives for pension savings in the first quarter of 2010.

Activity of the report period
Both A and R series shares of Aktia plc were listed on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki
exchange on 29 September 2009. This listing gives Aktia's shareholders an
opportunity to trade in Aktia shares through the exchange and to constantly
monitor the value of their shareholdings.
Profit
The Group's operating profit for January - September 2009 was EUR 44.4 million
(EUR 37.3 million). During July - September the operating profit amounted to EUR
22.4 million (EUR 7.4 million).
The operating profit of the banking business before write-downs was EUR 69.5
million (EUR 25.5 million). Despite considerably higher loan write-downs of EUR
25.9 million (EUR 0.3 million), an operating profit of EUR 43.6 million (EUR
25.2 million) was achieved thanks to strong net interest income.
Asset Management's operating profit weakened on last year to EUR 0.5 million
(EUR 3.6 million) due to the difficult situation in the investment market during
the first six months but improved somewhat during the third quarter.
Insurance operations contributed EUR 0.4 million (EUR -1.2 million) to the
Group's operating profit during the period. Of this contribution, EUR 3.0
million (EUR -1.2 million) came from the life insurance company, while the
non-life insurance company's contribution to the Group's profit was EUR -2.6
million (-). The results of the non-life insurance company was adversely
affected by a write-down of EUR 0.4 million (-).
Operating profit for affiliates was EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.2 million).
Profit for the reporting period was EUR 32.6 million (EUR 28.7 million). During
the third quarter, July - September, the Group's profit amounted to EUR 16.1
million (EUR 5.8 million).
Income
The Group's total income increased by 43.9% between January and September to EUR
181.7 million (EUR 126.3 million). During July - September, total income almost
doubled to EUR 66.8 million (EUR 33.9 million).
Net interest income rose between January and September by 51.3% to EUR 112.4
million (EUR 74.3 million). It should be noted that the positive impact of
managing interest rate risk, which is temporary in nature, and the exceptionally
steep decline of interest rates have made a significant contribution to the net
interest income. The derivatives used by Aktia Bank to limit its interest rate
risk improved net interest income to EUR 20.3 million (EUR -4.9 million). Aktia
was also able to exploit the situation on the financial markets to generate
additional earnings as a result of its good liquidity position. Net interest
income from lending to and borrowing from customers was stable. During July -
September net interest income improved to EUR 40.5 million (EUR 25.2 million).
Net commission income was EUR 31.8 million (EUR 31.7 million). Commission income
from funds, asset management and brokering increased to EUR 19.3 million (EUR
16.0 million). Card and payment services commissions rose 4.5% to EUR 8.4
million (EUR 8.0 million). Income from the real estate agency business was
stable at EUR 5.8 million (EUR 5.9 million) between January and September but
strengthened during the latest quarter July - September.
Net income from life insurance totalled EUR 10.8 million (EUR 9.2 million).
Aktia Non-Life Insurance, consolidated in the Aktia Group since 1 January 2009,
reported a net income of EUR 13.7 million (-) from non-life insurance. Net
income from the insurance business includes insurance premium income, net income
from investment activities, insurance claims paid and the change in provisions.
Expenditure
The Group's operating expenses rose between January and September by 24% to EUR
111.5 million (EUR 89.9 million). This change is primarily due to the new
non-life insurance and Aktia Invest operations, consultancy fees connected with
the listing on the Stock Exchange and increased rents. The increase of expenses
without the new units was 4.6%
The higher rents are a consequence of Aktia during 2008 divesting the majority
of its real estate holdings that were in its own use.
Staff costs increased during the first nine months of the year by EUR 12.1
million to EUR 57.5 million (EUR 45.4 million). This change is predominantly due
to the incorporation of the Non-Life Insurance company and Aktia Invest.
Other administration costs increased by 12.6% to EUR 31.8 million (EUR 28.3
million). Total depreciation and write-downs on tangible and intangible assets
was EUR 5.3 million (EUR 4.4 million).
Other operating costs amounted to EUR 17.1 million (EUR 11.8 million) for
January - September.
Results for July - September 2009
The Group's operating profit for the third quarter was EUR 22.4 million (EUR 7.4
million). Net interest income improved by EUR 15.3 million to EUR 40.5 million
(EUR 25.2 million) thanks to successful strategies aimed to manage interest rate
risk. Profit for July - September was EUR 16.1 million (EUR 5.8 million).
During July - September, expenses amounted to EUR 36.1 million (EUR 26.7
million), an increase of 34.9%.
The operating profit from the banking business was adversely affected by
write-downs of loans totalling EUR 8.4 million (EUR 0.3 million) and amounted to
EUR 19.7 million (EUR 6.2 million). Asset management contributed EUR 0.5 million
(EUR 1.5 million) to the Group's operating profit. The insurance business'
contribution to the Group's operating profit was EUR 2.8 million (EUR -4.9
million) for life insurance and EUR 0.3 million (-) for non-life insurance.

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments
The Group's balance sheet total increased by 12.4% during the period and
amounted to EUR 10,724 million (EUR 9,540 million at 31 December 2008). This
increase in the balance sheet total is largely due to growth in the mortgage
stock and the financial assets within the banking business. Total borrowing in
the form of deposits from the public, associations and credit institutions fell
by 4.5% to EUR 4,789 million (EUR 5,015 million) while financing from other
financial instruments increased by 31.2% to EUR 4,106 million (EUR 3,130
million). This growth is largely due to an increase in debt securities issued
and debts to credit institutions, i.e. transactions connected to liquidity
management.
The Group's total lending to the public amounted to EUR 5,946 million (EUR 5,426
million) at the end of the period, representing an increase of EUR 521 million
(9.6%). Loans to private households accounted for EUR 4,819 million, or 81.0% of
the total loan stock. Of these loans to households, 88.5% were secured against
adequate real estate collateral (in accordance with Basel 2). Excluding the
mortgages brokered by savings and local cooperative banks that the local banks
are committed to capitalise, the Group's lending increased by EUR 291 million
(6.6%) from the year-end.
The housing loan stock totalled EUR 4,481 million (EUR 4,036 million), of which
mortgages granted by Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc made up EUR 2,403
million (EUR 1,968 million). In all, housing loans increased by 11.0%. New
corporate lending continued to be moderate. The corporate loan stock was reduced
by 1.8% from the start of the year, totalling EUR 789 million (EUR 804 million).
Loans granted to housing associations increased by 23.6% during the period to
EUR 272 million (EUR 220 million).
Interest-bearing financial assets available for sale increased by 17.2% to EUR
3,292 million (EUR 2,808 million). These assets mainly consist of the banking
business' liquidity reserve.
Deposits from the public and public sector entities decreased marginally (-0.5%)
from the year-end to EUR 3,082 million (EUR 3,098 million at 31 December 2008).
Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc issued 2 covered bonds during the period. In
February, a bond of EUR 125 million was issued with a floating interest rate and
three-year maturity. In June, a bond of EUR 600 million was issued with a fixed
interest rate and five-year maturity. Outstanding Aktia Bank certificates of
deposit amounted to EUR 327 million at the end of the period and issued bonds
EUR 2,294 million, which represents an increase of EUR 437 million during the
period January - September. Aktia Bank also issued new subordinated debts and
index-linked loans via retail channels with a total value of EUR 64 million.
Life insurance provisions amounted to EUR 787 million (EUR 777 million at 31
December 2008).
Non-life insurance provisions stood at EUR 111 million (EUR 99 million at 1
January 2009) at the end of the period.
Off-balance sheet commitments increased by EUR 90 million from the year-end and
amounted to EUR 619 million (EUR 529 million). This increase was largely due to
growth in unused credit facilities (loan promises and limits) and high liquidity
commitments with the local banks.
The Aktia Group's equity amounted to EUR 463 million (EUR 317 million) at the
end of the period. The Group's fund at fair value amounted to EUR 44 million
(EUR -36 million), showing an improvement of EUR 51 million during the third
quarter and of EUR 80 million from the start of the year.
Capital adequacy and solvency
The Bank Group's capital adequacy amounted to 15.7% compared to 13.7% at
year-end. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.3% (9.3% at 31 December 2008). The
period's results and higher valuations of financial assets strengthened capital
adequacy. The divestment of Aktia Life Insurance out of the Bank Group to the
parent company Aktia plc also had a positive impact on capital adequacy. The
Bank Group's capital adequacy remained at a good level, exceeding both the
capital adequacy targets set internally and the requirements of the authorities.
The life insurance company's working capital amounted to EUR 85.0 million (EUR
50.4 million) and solvency 14.2% (8.5%).
The non-life insurance company's solvency capital was EUR 50.2 million. It
reported risk carrying capacity of 83.6%.
Capital adequacy for the conglomerate amounted to 156.9% (135.2% at 31 December
2008). The statutory minimum stipulated in the Act on the Supervision of
Financial and Insurance Conglomerates is 100%.
Rating
Aktia Bank plc's credit rating by the international credit rating agency Moody's
Investors Service remained on 23 September 2009 at the best classification, P-1,
for short-term borrowing. The credit rating for long-term borrowing is A1 and
that for financial strength C. All ratings have a stable outlook.
The covered bonds issued by subsidiary Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc have
a Moody's credit rating of Aa1.
Valuation of financial assets
Value changes reported via the fund at fair value
Value changes in interest-bearing securities where the issuer has not announced
an inability to pay and value changes in shares and participations which are not
deemed to be long-term or significant are reported in the fund at fair value,
which, taking cash flow hedging for the Group into consideration, amounted to
EUR 43.7 million after deferred tax, compared to EUR -36.4 million at 31
December 2008. The cash flow hedging which comprises the basic market value for
interest rate derivative contracts which have been acquired for the purposes of
hedging the banking business' net interest income amounted to EUR 20.8 million
(EUR 12.4 million).

Value changes reported via income statement
The value of financial assets is written down where, in the case of shares, the
value change has been announced as significant or long-term and, in the case of
interest-bearing securities, where the issuer has announced an inability to pay.
Previous write-downs are reversed for interest-bearing securities in the income
statement and for shares in the fund at fair value.
Write-downs for the period totalled EUR 22.3 million (EUR 39.2 million at 31
December 2008) while write-downs for the third quarter amounted to EUR 1.7
million (EUR 8.5 million).
Of the period's write-downs, EUR 8.9 million was attributable to shares and
participations in the investment portfolio of the life insurance company. EUR
13.4 million of the write-downs was attributable to interest-bearing securities,
of which EUR 0.4 million was related to the bank's liquidity portfolio. The
share risk in the life insurance company's investment portfolio has continued to
be reduced and direct shareholdings amounted to EUR 3 million at the end of the
third quarter. No write-downs have been implemented within the non-life
insurance company's investment portfolio during the period.

Write-downs of loan and guarantee claims
Write-downs based on individual examination of loan and guarantee claims
totalled EUR -26.3 million. Reversals of write-downs from previous years came to
EUR 0.3 million so that the cost effect on the profit for the period was EUR
-25.9 million.
The weak economic situation continues to be reflected in the write-downs of
corporate loans which, between January and September, amounted to EUR -23.5
million and to EUR -8.2 million during the last quarter, July - September. The
period's write-downs of corporate loans corresponded to just under 3% of total
corporate lending.
Write-downs of household loans amounted to EUR -2.1 million, EUR -0.5 million of
which was accounted for by unsecured consumer loans. The period's write-downs of
household loans was equivalent to 0.04% of total lending to households.
In addition to individual write-downs, group write-downs were made for
households and small companies, 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 remained
unchanged and amounted to EUR -7.4 million at the end of the period.

functions and return on equity.
Comparative figures for 2008 relating to the new segmentation were published on
8 April 2009.
Banking business
The banking business' operating profit improved during the first nine months of
the year to EUR 43.6 million (EUR 25.2 million). The operating profit for July
-
September was EUR 19.7 million (EUR 6.2 million).
Operating income totalled EUR 147.0 million (EUR 96.8 million). The improvement
is mainly attributable to net interest income which increased to EUR 108.1
million (EUR 69.7 million).
The drop of short term interest rates has had a positive effect on net interest
income through lower re-finan-cing costs and hedging derivative instruments.
Fixed-rate investments made at higher interest rates than the present as well as
risk premiums remaining at a high level have allowed better returns from
investments in the liquidity portfolio, which has had a positive effect on net
interest income. During July - September net interest income amounted to EUR
39.2 million (EUR 23.5 million). Net commission income was EUR 23.7 million (EUR
22.8 million) for the reporting period. During July - September net commission
income improved to EUR 8.7 million (EUR 6.9 million).
Operating expenses rose to EUR 77.6 million (EUR 71.3 million). The increase in
costs includes an increased payment to the Deposit Guarantee Fund as well as
increased rents as a result of selling off office premises during 2008.
The banking business' growth is primarily driven by retail customers. Sales
activities are supported by the Aktia Dialogue concept whereby customers' needs
are mapped out and Aktia's whole service portfolio is presented. The appearance
of the branch offices has also been standardised. The banking business' customer
base increased by 5,844 private customers (+2.2%) during the first nine months.
The number of Internet banking agreements rose by 6.6% from the start of the
year, amounting to 114,239.
The economic situation has brought with it increased write-downs of loans,
particularly among a limited number of corporate customers. Write-downs of loans
during the first nine months totalled EUR 25.9 million, of which EUR 8.2 million
was reported during the third quarter.
Aktia's lending to private households, including the mortgages brokered by
Aktia, increased by 10.9% to EUR 4,819 million (EUR 4,343 million). Mortgage
loans brokered by Aktia amounted to EUR 1,301 million (EUR 1,069 million).
Aktia's market share in housing loans to households amounted to 4.2%. Aktia's
total lending to private households made up 81.0% of the loan stock. The
proportion of the total credit stock accounted for by corporate loans fell as
planned from the year-end to 13.3% at the end of the period.
Total savings by households increased by 4.6% from the start of the year and
amounted to EUR 3,041 million (EUR 2,907 million). Household deposits were EUR
2,358 million (EUR 2,359 million) and savings by households in mutual funds
stood at EUR 683 million (EUR 548 million). The outward flow from the funds has
ended.
Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc showed continued growth. The total credit
stock grew by 22.3% to EUR 2,534 million. Of the loan stock, 51.3% or EUR 1,301
million was brokered by Aktia's branch offices and 48.7% by savings and local
co-operative banks. In February, Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc issued a
covered bond amounting to EUR 125 million with a floating interest rate and
three-year maturity. The second bond was issued in June worth EUR 600 million
with a fixed interest rate and five-year maturity.
The operating profit of the real estate agency business developed favourably and
amounted to EUR 1.2 million (EUR -0.3 million), mainly as a result of cost
adjustment and slightly more activity on the market during both the second and
third quarter.
Asset Management
Operating profit for Aktia's asset management business fell to EUR 0.5 million
(EUR 3.6 million) during the first nine months. The market was slightly more
positive during the third quarter than during the beginning of the year and
Aktia fared relatively well in the market. The operating profit for the period
included non-recurring items, mainly capital losses of approximately EUR 0.5
million. During July - September the operating profit amounted to EUR 0.5
million (EUR 1.5 million).
The Asset Management segment has continued to focus on private banking
operations and institutional investors. In December 2008, Aktia acquired
Kaupthing's Finnish asset management business, now operating under the name
Aktia Invest. This acquisition strengthened Aktia's service portfolio,
representing expertise which has been very much appreciated by institutional
investors in Finland in recent years. Increased investment of resources in the
private banking business has been initiated in Aktia's branch offices.
Operating income, i.e. income after reversals to the Group's other units and
business partners, was EUR 10.6 million (EUR 10.5 million). Operating expenses
increased by EUR 3.2 million to EUR 10.1 million, of which staff costs
constituted EUR 5.6 million (EUR 3.5 million). This increase in costs is due to
greater investment of resources in the private banking business and
institutional investment activities.
The volume of funds managed and brokered by Aktia was EUR 3,488 million (EUR
2,490 million at 31 December 2008). Aktia's market share was 6.75% (6.0%) at the
end of the period - this includes the share of managed funds. The total market
is based on information from the Finnish Association of Mutual Funds. Assets
managed by Aktia, including Aktia Asset Management and Aktia Invest, increased
and amounted to EUR 5,680 million (EUR 4,538). The customer assets of Private
Banking totalled EUR 755 million (EUR 738 million). The number of customers in
Private Banking increased by approximately 2% during the first nine months.
Life Insurance
The contribution of the life insurance business to the Group's operating profit
was EUR 3.0 million (EUR -1.2 million). The contribution to the Group's
operating profit for July - September was EUR 2.8 million (EUR -4.9 million).
The segment's operating result for both the previous year and the reported
period include non-recurring items that make comparison difficult. Such items
include write-downs of the investment portfolio, changes in the discount rate
for the interest-based provisions and capital gains from real estate holding
divestments in 2008. These non-recurring items amounted to EUR 2.1 million (EUR
4.9 million) during January - September.
Premium income was EUR 53.5 million (EUR 64.9 million). The decrease in premium
income is mainly due to the fact that the sales of large single premium policies
have decreased. Premium volumes from unit-linked pension insurance schemes and
risk insurance policies increased. Of the premium volume for savings and
investment insurance and pension insurance, unit-linked insurance accounted for
around 61% (66%).
Insurance claims and benefits totalled EUR 61.4 million (EUR 56.2 million).
Increased payment of insurance claims and benefits resulted primarily from time
investment-linked policies maturing as well as from increased pension and health
insurance payments.
The operating expenses totalled EUR 9.9 million (EUR 9.8 million). Within the
life insurance business, steps to streamline operations have continued, as has
work to improve cost efficiency. Despite the additional expenses brought about
by the modified principles for allocating the Group's administration expenses,
expenses for the year are at the same level as the year before. The cost ratio
was 101.5% compared with 99.1% for the corresponding period the year before. The
sales organisation of the Life Insurance segment was transferred to Aktia
Non-Life Insurance on 1 March 2009 and the ongoing streamlining measures taking
place within Aktia Non-Life Insurance have also brought about certain
non-recurring expenses for the life insurance business for the latest quarter of
2009. The coordination of sales distribution is expected to bring cost savings
from 2010 onwards.
The return on the company's investments based on market value was 4.6% (-6.5%).
To enable stable returns on investment in the long term, the risks in the
portfolio have been further reduced. Net income from investment business has
been adversely affected by write-downs entered against income of EUR 21.9
million.
Provisions totalled EUR 787 million (EUR 777 million at 31 December 2008), of
which provisions for unit-linked insurance policies represented 24.2%.
Unit-linked provisions amounted to EUR 191 million (EUR 150 million) and
interest-linked provisions amounted to EUR 597 million (EUR 628 million). During
the first and second quarter of the current financial year, the discount rate
for certain elements of these provisions was increased and the average discount
rate for all interest-bearing provisions is 3.6%. This increase reduced
provisions by EUR 19.8 million and has a positive impact on the profit for the
year.
The company's solvency improved to 14.2% compared to 8.5% at the year-end.
Non-Life Insurance
Aktia Non-Life Insurance was merged with Aktia plc on 1 January 2009. In 2008
and in previous years, the company has applied Finnish accounting principles
(FAS). In conjunction with the merger, the company has, for consolidation
reasons, started applying IFRS reporting principles. An opening balance
according to IFRS was prepared as at 1 January 2009. The company's opening
balance according to IFRS includes equity amounting to EUR 32 million, technical
provisions amounting to EUR 99 million, while the balance sheet total stood at
EUR 155 million.
The contribution of the non-life insurance business to the Group's operating
profit for the first nine months was EUR -2.6 million. During July - September
the contribution to the Group's operating profit was EUR 0.3 million.
Insurance premium income for Aktia Non-Life Insurance increased by approximately
4% on the corresponding period last year. This increase is well above the
average growth in the market and is attributable to both private and corporate
customers. Premium income before the reinsurers' share was EUR 54.3 million.
Premium income for the period after the reinsurers' share and change of premium
liabilities amounted to EUR 45.5 million. Claim expenditure amounted to a total
of EUR 35.5 million. Operating expenses totalling EUR 15.6 million included EUR
1.1 million of the Group's administration costs. Write-downs on loans for the
period totalled EUR 0.4 million. The total cost ratio was reduced to 112.3%
(compared to 122.4% at the start of the year).
Net income from investment business amounted to EUR 2.4 million. The result from
investment business was adversely affected by net capital losses totalling EUR
-1.2 million which resulted from consciously reducing the level of risk in the
investment portfolio and selling off all the company's stock market investments
during the first quarter. The return on the company's investments based on
market value was 1.5%.
Of the company's total provisions of EUR 111 million (EUR 99 million at 1
January 2009), the provisions for pay-out claims stood at EUR 86 million (EUR 79
million at 1 January 2009). The market value of the company's investment
portfolio was EUR 140 million (EUR 131 million at 1 January 2009) and the
company's risk carrying capacity was 84%.
The integration of Aktia Non-Life Insurance's distribution channels into Aktia's
branch office network has increased customer activity particularly in the
private customer sector.
Miscellaneous
Operating profit for the Miscellaneous segment was EUR 2.6 million (EUR 11.3
million) during the first nine months. The profit for the corresponding period
in 2008 includes non-recurring items amounting to EUR 5.6 million. During 2008
much of Aktia's real estate holdings were disposed of which generated capital
gains. Profit was also adversely affected by reduced rental incomes and
increased rental costs to an overall effect of EUR 2.6 million.
The operating profit for July - September was EUR -0.1 million (EUR 4.6
million). The profit for the quarter was adversely affected by non-recurring
expenses of EUR 1.6 million associated with Aktia's listing of shares on the
Stock Exchange in September.
The Group's risk management
Risk exposure
The banking business includes Retail Banking (including financing company
operations), Corporate Banking, Treasury and Asset Management. Life insurance
business is carried out by Aktia Life Insurance, and non-life insurance business
by Aktia Non-Life Insurance.
Lending-related risks within banking
There were no significant changes to the structure of the credit portfolio
during the period. Mortgages increased 11.0% to EUR 4,481 million, accounting
for 75.4% (74.4% at 31 December 2008) of the total credit stock. Aktia Real
Estate Mortgage Bank's lending totalled EUR 2,403 million (EUR 1,968 million),
of which EUR 1,170 million was brokered by savings and local co-operative banks.
Overall, the proportion of household loans in the total credit stock increased
to 81.0% (80.0%). Of loans to households, 88.5% (86.4%) are secured against
adequate housing collateral in accordance with Basel 2.
The proportion of the total credit stock accounted for by corporate loans fell
as planned from 14.4% at the year-end to 13.3% at the end of the period.
Lending to the general public secured against collateral objects or unsecured
within the framework of the financing companies Aktia Corporate Finance and
Aktia Card & Finance totalled EUR 83.3 million (EUR 63.8 million), representing
1.4% of total lending.

The Group's financing and liquidity risks and the actuarial risks in non-life
insurance business
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 are no financing commitments between the Bank Group and the
insurance companies. The objective in the Bank Group is to be able to cover one
year's refinancing requirements using existing liquidity. Despite uncertainty in
the financial markets, the liquidity status remained good and in line with this
objective.
Within the life insurance business, liquidity risks are defined as the
availability of financing for paying out claims, savings sums and surrenders,
and pensions. The need for liquidity is satisfied mainly through cashflow and a
portfolio of investment certificates which has been adapted in line with varying
needs, while any unforeseen significant need for liquidity is taken care of
through the liquidity portfolio of primarily bonds.
The actuarial risk in the non-life insurance business is related to the
sufficiency of premium volumes in relation to claims expenditure. Since claims
expenditure depends on the number of accidents and their scale, this may cause
major fluctuations in the liquidity and financial performance of non-life
insurance business. In order to reduce the actuarial volatility, Aktia Non-Life
Insurance has underwritten re-insurance cover for both major individual damages
and an unexpected abundance of damages of moderate scale.
The re-insurance cover also reduces the company's liquidity risk as the
liquidity needs are catered for by cash flow and an adapted portfolio of bank
deposits, investment certificates and government bonds.
Counterparty risks
Counterparty risks within Group Treasury's liquidity management operations
The banking business' liquidity portfolio - which is managed by Group Treasury -
stood at EUR 2,660 million at 30 September 2009 (EUR 2,290).
Counterparty risks arising in relation to liquidity management and entry into
derivative contracts are managed through conservative allocation and the
requirement for high-level external ratings (minimum A3 rating from Moody's or
equivalent). In addition, maximum exposure limits have been established for each
counterparty and asset type. Individual investment decisions are made in
accordance with an investment plan in place and are based on careful assessment
of the counterparty.
Of the financial assets available for sale, 52% (49%) were investments in
covered bonds, 35% (45%) were investments in banks, 10% (3%) were investments in
state-guaranteed bonds and approximately 3% (3%) were investments in public
sector entities and companies. Of these financial assets, 1.0% (0.9%) did not
meet the internal rating requirements. As a result of a reduced credit rating,
one security asset with a market value of EUR 4 million was no longer eligible
for refinancing with the central bank. Other securities that are not eligible
for refinancing due to the absence of a rating, totalled EUR 31 million.
During the period, write-offs totalling EUR -0.4 million were realised as a
result of the issuer announcing its inability to pay.

Counterparty risks in the life insurance business
The direct interest rate investments in the life insurance company's investment
business increased as a result of continued reallocation for the purpose of
neutralising interest rate risk in technical provisions and totalled EUR 531
million (EUR 449 million) at the end of the period. Counterparty risks arising
in connection with the life insurance company's investments are managed by the
requirement for at least an “Investment grade” external rating (rating class
Baa3 from Moody's or equivalent) and by rules concerning the maximal exposure
for each counterparty and asset category.
At the end of the period, 46% (48%) of these direct interest rate investments
were receivables from public sector entities, 21% (20%) were receivables from
companies and 33% (32%) were receivables from banks and covered bonds.
1.7% of the direct interest rate investments did not meet the internal rating
requirements at the end of the period.
During the period, write-offs totalling EUR -13.1 million were realised as a
result of the issuer announcing its inability to pay. During the third quarter,
the net effect of write-downs and reversals within write-downs previously
implemented was EUR +0.3 million.

Counterparty risks in the non-life insurance business
A conservative investment policy is observed in the non-life insurance business.
The direct interest rate investments in the non-life insurance company's
investment business increased as a result of continued reallocation and totalled
EUR 106 million (EUR 73 million) at the end of the period.
At the end of the period, 64% (80%) of the direct interest rate investments were
receivables from public sector entities, 9% (4%) were receivables from companies
and 27% (16%) were receivables from banks and covered bonds.
During the period no write-downs were realised as a result of issuers announcing
an inability to pay.

Market risks
Aktia pursues no trading activities. Both the financial assets within the
banking business and the investment assets within the life and non-life
insurance businesses are invested in securities with access to market prices on
an active market, and are valued in accordance with official quoted prices. Any
significant or long-term impairment of market value compared to the acquisition
price is shown in the income statement, while interest-rate fluctuations are
reported under the fund at fair value after the deduction of 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. 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 30 September 2009 would be
EUR -26.5 million (-27.2 million) after the deduction of deferred tax.
The net change in the fund at fair value relating to market value interest rate
risk posted during the period and credit and spread risk was positive and
totalled EUR 41.1 million after the deduction of deferred tax.
Structural interest rate risk arises as a result of an imbalance between
interest rate basis and the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, and affects
net interest income. Investments within the liquidity portfolio and hedging
derivative instruments are exploited to reduce the volatility in net interest
income.
A parallel upward 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 1.5% (-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 increase by +5.8% (-6.0% at 31
December 2008) while 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 +0.1% (+6.3%), 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 -5.0% (+7.9% at 31 December
2008), while the target for structural interest rate risk management is a
maximum of -8%.
Other market risks within the banking business and the parent company
No equity trading or investments in real estate property is carried out in the
banking business or in the parent company. At the end of the period, real estate
assets totalled EUR 3.4 million (EUR 3.6 million). The investments in shares
which are necessary or strategic to the business totalled EUR 31.0 (EUR 21.9
million). At the end of the period, the fund at fair value related to the above
strategic share investments amounted to EUR 3.8 million after the deduction of
deferred tax.
Investment risks in the life insurance business
The policyholder bears the investment risk of the investments that provide cover
for unit-linked insurance policies. These investments are valuated on an ongoing
basis at fair value and any changes in value are posted to provisions for
unit-linked insurance policies.
The investment portfolio covering the interest-based technical provisions is
measured on an ongoing basis at market value. During the reporting period
write-downs affecting profit were posted which were attributable to shares and
participations totalling EUR -8.9 million, EUR -2.0 million of which was
attributable to the third quarter. The net change in the fund at fair value for
shares after acquisition eliminations posted during the period totalled EUR 0.9
million after the deduction of deferred tax.
As the economic situation made the investment market extremely challenging, the
share risks have been reduced further and at the end of the period share
holdings amounted to EUR 3 million (EUR 38 million at 31 December 2008).
The net change in the fund at fair value for interest-bearing securities posted
during the period totalled EUR 3.4 million after the deduction of deferred tax.
The risks in the investment portfolio, such as credit risks, interest rate
risks, currency risks, share risks and real estate risks, are measured and
contained using different stress models including a VaR (Value at Risk) model,
assuming maximum loss for 12 months and applying a probability level of 97.5%.

Investment risks in the non-life insurance business
The investment portfolio covering the technical provisions is measured on an
ongoing basis at market value. In order to further reduce the level of risk in
the investment portfolio, all listed share holdings were sold off during the
reporting period.
During the period no write-downs affecting profit were posted that were
attributable to shares and participations.
As the economic situation made the investment market extremely challenging, the
decision was taken not to take share risks in the investment business of the
non-life insurance company until further notice.

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 marketplace suffers. No significant incidents were recorded during the
reporting period.
Close relations
Close relations refers to key personnel in management positions, Aktia plc's
Board of Supervisors, members of the Board of Directors, and executive
management (Managing Director and Deputy Managing Directors). Close relations
also includes close family members of key personnel mentioned above as well as
companies where key personnel in management positions exercise control or
influence (more than 20% of share capital).
No significant changes in transactions with close relations during the period.
Personnel
Converted into full-time employees, the Group employed 1,206 people (1,037) at
the end of September. The average number of full-time employees during the first
nine months was 1,212 (1,001). During the period July - September, the average
number of full-time employees fell by 1.
Codetermination negotiations in accordance with the Act on Co-operation within
Undertakings in Aktia plc's subsidiary Aktia Non-Life Insurance Ltd, which
commenced on 24 August 2009, have been completed. As a result of the
negotiations, Aktia Non-Life Insurance Ltd has decided to reduce staff by
approximately 30 persons. The savings made in this respect are approximately EUR
2.0 million p.a. The cost-effect of the staff reduction is estimated to be
approximately EUR -1.0 million in the fourth quarter.
Share capital and ownership
At the end of September 2009, the paid-up share capital of Aktia plc as entered
in the Finnish Trade Register was EUR 93,873,816, divided into 46,936,908 series
A shares and 20,050,850 series R shares. Of the merger compensation in
connection to the merger with Veritas Non-Life Insurance of 6,800,000 shares, a
further 26,690 new series A shares were registered on the book-entry account
during the July -September period. The number of shareholders at the end of the
period was 49,908. The inspection and registration of outstanding shares
continues. Aktia estimates that the final number of shareholders might reach
approximately 70,000.
Aktia's holding of treasury shares amounted to 536,288 shares, corresponding to
0.8% of all shares.
At an Extraordinary General Meeting of 21 December 2006, the Board of Directors
was authorised to issue a maximum of 1,000,000 shares in order to create a
share-based incentive scheme for key personnel in the Group. On 30 March 2009,
on the basis of the authorisations given, the Board of Aktia plc implemented a
directed share issue to designated persons in the company's executive
management. In the issue, 12,490 new series A shares were issued at a
subscription price of EUR 6.00 per share. The new shares in Aktia plc were
registered in the Trade Register on 29 May 2009.
In relation to the Stock Exchange listing, Aktia's Board of Directors has
decided to propose that a nomination committee be set up for the 2010 ordinary
AGM tasked with putting forward proposals prior to the company's ordinary AGM on
the appointment of members to the Board of Supervisors and auditors for Aktia as
well as the fees for these. According to the proposal, the nomination committee
would comprise of representatives from the three largest shareholders as well as
the chairman of the Board of Supervisors as an expert member. The three
shareholders holding the largest percentages of Aktia shares on 1 November in
the year before the AGM would have the right to appoint a representative for the
nomination committee.
The shareholders Helsinki Savings Bank Foundation, the Life Annuity Institution
Heriditas and Veritas Pension Insurance Company have also informed Aktia that
they will put forward proposals for appointments to the Board of Supervisors and
auditors as well as fees for these for the term that starts after Aktia's 2010

Group structure
The merger of Veritas Mutual Non-Life Insurance Company with Aktia plc was
implemented in accordance with the merger plan approved by both companies'
Annual General Meetings and registered in the Trade Register on 1 January 2009.
The non-life insurance company continues its business in the Aktia Group under
the name Aktia Non-Life Insurance Company Ltd.
The Financial Supervisory Authority announced on 28 April 2009 that it had
approved Aktia Bank plc's sale of its shares in Aktia Life Insurance to the
Group's parent company Aktia plc. The transaction did not affect the operational
business of Aktia Life Insurance. The contract price corresponded to the
reported net asset value of the life insurance company which stood at EUR 45.5
million on 28 February 2009. The effect of the transaction is eliminated at
Group level.
Resolutions by the AGM
The Annual General Meeting of Aktia plc held on 30 March 2009 adopted the
financial statements of the parent company and the consolidated financial
statements and discharged the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Directors, the
Managing Director and his deputy from liability.
In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Annual General
Meeting decided to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share totalling EUR
10,046,290.20 for the period 1 January - 31 December 2008. The dividend was paid
9 April 2009.
The Annual General Meeting established the number of members on the Board of
Supervisors to be thirty five. The following nine members of the Board of
Supervisors, whose term expired at the Annual General Meeting, were re-elected
for a three-year period:
Harriet Ahlnäs, Principal, M.Sc.(Eng.), Porvoo
Roger Broo, Administrative Director, M.Sc. (Pol.), Turku
Christoffer Grönholm, Chief Secretary, D.Sc. (Pol.), Helsinki
Kari Kyttälä, LL.M., Nummi-Pusula
Per Lindgård, Teacher, Bromarv
Henrik Rehnberg, Farmer, Engineer, Siuntio
Henrik Sundbäck, Consultant, M.Sc.(Agriculture and Forestry), Porvoo
Sture Söderholm, Lic. Odont., Hanko
Henry Wiklund, Chamber Counsellor, M.Sc.(Econ.), Helsinki
The following new members of the Board of Supervisors were elected for a
three-year term ending at the close of the AGM in 2012:
Anna Bertills, Political Adviser, M.Sc. (Pol.), Vöyri/Helsinki
Gun Kapténs, Municipal Manager, M.Sc. (Pol.), Luoto

Bengt Sohlberg, Agricultural Entrepreneur, Agrologist, Siuntio
The following new members of the Board of Supervisors were elected for a
two-year term ending at the close of the AGM in 2010:
Jan-Erik Stenman, Managing Director, LL.M.,Turku
The Annual General Meeting established the number of auditors as one.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Ab was re-appointed auditor for the financial year
starting on 1 January 2009, with Jan Holmberg, APA, as the auditor in charge.
The AGM adopted the proposal of the Board of Directors regarding resolutions for
share issue authorisations. The proposal has been published at
www.aktia.fi.
Events after the end of the reporting period
Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank issued a covered bond with a nominal value of
EUR 150 million, a fixed interest rate and three-year maturity on 30 October
2009.
Outlook for the rest of the year
During the fourth quarter, it is expected that the Group's operating profit will
reach the same level as in the two first quarters. A sustained good credit
rating and the Group's strengthened capital base are expected to enable
refinancing and moderate growth even in the current market situation.
The economic situation has brought about a higher level of write-downs, and a
new deterioration in the financial situation could lead to permanent reductions
in the value of individual investments that are currently deemed to be of good
quality. This would have a negative effect on the 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 Aktia's
capital adequacy.
The importance of cost effectiveness will further increase in the current
economic and competitive situation.

Notes to the Interim Report
Note 1 Basis for preparing interim reports and important accounting principles
Basis for preparing the interim report
Aktia plc's consolidated financial statement is prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 10 September 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.
The figures in this report are presented so that income statement items are
compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, while the
comparison of balance sheet items relates to 31 December 2008 unless specified
otherwise. Balance sheet items are mainly given in EUR million.
Aktia plc's financial statement and interim reports are available on Aktia's
website www.aktia.fi.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 30 September 2008 was approved by
the Board of Directors on 9 November 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.
The presentation of profit and loss account has changed so that the net income
from insurance business including insurance premium income, net income from
investment activities, claims paid out and change in provisions is reported as
net income under operating income. This net amount is shown separately for the
life insurance business (Net income for life insurance) and for the non-life
insurance business (Net income for non-life insurance).
The subsidiaries Aktia Card & Finance Ab, Aktia Corporate Finance Ab and Aktia
Asset Management Oy Ab have certain redemption clauses, and they have been
transferred from minority interests to liabilities in accordance with IAS
32.25(a) as of 31 December 2008. This change in liabilities is reported in the
income statement as personnel costs in 2009.
The accounting principles have also been defined more precisely with regard to
interest-bearing securities. In addition to default, interest-bearing securities
are reviewed individually to assess the need for write-downs in the event that
the price of the security has fallen by more than 50% and the instrument rating
has fallen below investment grade (BB+, Ba1 or lower).
New accounting standards valid 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. From 1 January 2009, the Group publishes a
profit and loss statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The change in
the Group's equity includes transactions with owners.
IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes
This interpretation deals with reporting on customer loyalty programmes. The
Group had a bonus programme that is to be closed, Aktia Bonus. This bonus scheme
has already been dealt with in the accounts in accordance with IFRIC 13 which is
why the introduction of this standard will not affect the Group's financial
results or standing. Bonus liabilities for the comparison year 2008 have been
moved from other liabilities to accruals.
Note 2 Segment reporting
Segments
From 1 January 2009, the reported segments are Banking Business, Asset
Management, Life Insurance, Non-Life Insurance and Miscellaneous. Comparative
figures for 2008 relating to the new segmentation were published on 8 April
2009.
The Banking Business segment includes Aktia Bank plc's branch office operation,
corporate banking and treasury as well as subsidiaries Aktia Real Estate
Mortgage Bank plc, Aktia Card & Finance, Aktia Corporate Finance Ab and the real
estate agencies. Asset Management includes Aktia Bank plc's private bank in
Helsinki and the subsidiaries Aktia Fund Management Ltd and Aktia Asset
Management Oy Ab. Life Insurance includes Aktia Life Insurance Ltd. Non-Life
Insurance includes Aktia Non-Life Insurance Company Ltd. Miscellaneous includes
Group management in Aktia plc and certain administrative functions in Aktia Bank
plc that are not allocated to the various segments. This segment also includes
Vasp-Invest Ab.
Allocation principles
Net interest income in the various segments, especially in Banking Business,
includes the margins on volumes of borrowing and lending. Reference interest
rates for borrowing and lending and the interest rate risk that arises because
of new pricing being out of step are transferred to Treasury in accordance with
the Group's internal pricing. Treasury assumes responsibility for the Group's
interest rate risk, liquidity and balance protection measures for which
management has issued authority. The various segments receive, or are charged
with, internal interest based on the average surplus or deficit in liquidity
during the period. The costs of central support functions are allocated to the
segments in accordance with various allocation rules. Until further notice,
Aktia is not allocating equity to the various segments. Miscellaneous consists
of any items in the income statement and balance sheet that are not allocated to
the various segments. Internal Group transactions between legal entities are
eliminated and reported within each segments if the legal entities are in the
same segments. Internal Group transactions between legal entities in different
segments are included in the eliminations. The share of profits in associated
undertakings and the minority interest's share are included in the eliminations.

Note 5 Businesses acquired
The merger with Veritas Non-Life Insurance was completed 1 January 2009 in
accordance with the merger plan approved. From 1 January 2009 onwards, non-life
insurance business is operated by the 100% Aktia plc-owned subsidiary Aktia
Non-Life Insurance Ltd.
As compensation for the merger, Aktia plc has issued 6,800,000 new shares in
accordance with the approved merger plan. The evaluation of the issued shares
was based on trading at the end of the year.
Customer related immaterial rights were examined when constructing the
acquisition balance sheet. The client base of Veritas Non-Life Insurance was
70,000 at the time of acquisition. Estimated value of each customer relation was
EUR 20 leading to value of EUR 1,400,000 of immaterial rights. This value will
be depreciated during the next two years. Other immaterial asset has valued to
zero in the acquisition balance.
Current values of technical provisions were adjusted based on assessments at
fair value according to IFRS 4.32 and 4.31. After deductions for deferred tax,
the equalisation provision included in technical provision was also entered as
shareholders' equity according to IFRS rules.
Net assets in the preliminary acquisition balance were higher than the total
acquisition price. That led to a preliminary negative goodwill of EUR 139,856.09
at the time of acquisition which is recognised in the income statement for the
first quarter of 2009.
Aktia Non-Life Insurance total operating income was EUR 12.8 million and
operating profit was EUR -2.2 million during the first half of the year.

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 30 September 2009 and the result of its operations and
cash flows for the nine-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.
