Activity during the year                                                        
The bank in its current form, Aktia Bank plc, started operating on 30 September 
2008, when Aktia Savings                                                        
Bank plc transferred its banking operations to Aktia Bank Ltd. Aktia Bank Ltd.  
was converted into a plc at the same time.                                      

Aktia Bank plc operates as the parent company in the Bank Group. The annual     
report for January - December 2008 encompasses the results for the period 1     
October - 31 December 2008.                                                     

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. Aktia Life Insurance is reported as a discontinued 
operation in the Bank Group.                                                    

Aktia Bank plc's new division into business segments was changed from 1 January 
2009 so that the segments Retail Banking and Corporate Banking & Treasury are   
now combined into a segment entitled Banking Business. The other segments are   
Asset Management and Miscellaneous. Comparative figures for 2008 relating to the
new segmentation were published on 8 April 2009.

Income                                                                          
The Bank Group's total income amounted to 196.7 million (EUR 55.9 million for   
10-12/2008), EUR 152.4 million (EUR 35.5 million) of which was net interest     
income. Operating profit is adversely affected by a cost of EUR 9.2 million due 
to a calculation error in the division of fair values of options that are partly
reported via income statement and partly via the fund at fair value. The fund at
fair value will increase correspondingly.                                       

Net commission income totalled EUR 40.7 million (EUR 11.8 million). Commission  
income from asset management and brokering amounted to EUR 13.4 million (EUR 3.5

19.0 million (EUR 15.0 million) and accounted for 33.9% of commission income.   
Card and payment services commission was EUR 11.5 million (EUR 4.4 million).    
Total commission costs amounted to EUR 15.4 million (EUR 14.2 million). Among   
the commission costs, commissions to savings and local cooperative banks for

Total depreciation and write-downs on tangible and intangible assets amounted to
EUR 4.8 million (EUR 1.5 million). Other operating costs totalled EUR 18.6      
million (5.7), of which the costs of renting premises accounted for the larger  
share.                                                                          

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments                                 
The Bank Group's balance sheet total increased over the year by 0.2 % and       
amounted to EUR 9,539 million (EUR 9,520 million) at the end of 2009.           

The Bank Group's total lending to the public increased in 2009 by 12.7 % to EUR 
6,124 million (EUR 5,432 million). Loans to private households accounted for EUR
4,924 million (EUR 4,343 million) or 80.4% (80.0%) of the total loan stock.     

Excluding the mortgages brokered by savings and local cooperative banks which   
the local banks are committed to capitalise, the Bank Group's lending totalled  
EUR 4,834 million.                                                              

Interest-bearing financial assets available for sale amounted to EUR 2,657      
million (EUR 2,808 million). These assets mainly consist of the banking         
business' liquidity reserve.

Capital adequacy                                                                
The Bank Group's capital adequacy amounted to 15.9 % compared to 13.7% at the   
end of the previous year. The Tier 1 capital ratio increased to 9.5% compared to
9.3% the previous year. Capital adequacy was strengthened by the profit for the 
year and by the positive development in the fund at fair value, brought about by
higher valuations of financial assets. Capital adequacy remained at a good      
level, exceeding both the capital adequacy targets set internally and the       
regulatory requirements.

Valuation of financial assets                                                   
Value changes reported via income statement                                     
For shares and participations, a value impairment is reported in the income     
statement where 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. For interest-bearing securities, previous write-downs are  
reversed in the income statement and for shares and participations in the fund  
at fair value.

Value changes reported via the fund at fair value                               
A value impairment that is not reported in the income statement or an increase  
in the value of financial assets that has not been realised is reported via the 
fund at fair value. Taking cash flow hedging for the Group into consideration,  
the fund at fair value amounted to EUR 34.7 million after deferred tax compared 
to EUR -35.1 million as at 31 December 2008. The cash flow hedging which        
comprises the 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 21.4 million (EUR 12.4 million).

Write-downs of loan and guarantee claims                                        
Write-downs based on individual examination of loan and guarantee claims        
totalled EUR -33.1 million (EUR -1.0 million). Reversals of write-downs from    
previous years came to EUR 2.1 million (EUR 0.5 million) so that the cost effect
on the profit for the year was EUR -31.1 million (EUR -0.5 million).            

Of the write-downs with impact on costs, EUR -29.9 million was accounted for by 
corporate loans, which corresponds to approx. 3.8% of the total corporate       
lending. Write-downs with impact on costs of household loans amounted to EUR    
-1.1 million, EUR -0.7 million of which was accounted for by unsecured consumer 
loans. The year's write-downs with impact on costs of household loans was       
equivalent to 0.03% of total lending to households. Total write-downs with cost 
impact for the year amounted to 0.51% (0.01%) of total lending.                 

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 2009.              

The Bank Group's risk management                                                
Risk exposure                                                                   
The banking business includes Retail Banking (including financing company       
operations), Corporate Banking, Treasury and Asset Management.                  

Lending-related risks within banking                                            
The loan stock increased over the year by EUR 692 million, totalling EUR 6,124  
million (EUR 5,432 million) at the year-end. As planned, this increase mainly   
occurred within household financing and households' share of the total loan     
stock amounted to EUR 4,924 million or 80.4% or 85.1% when combined with housing
associations at the end of year. Of these loans to households, 86.2% (86.2%) are
secured against adequate real estate collateral in accordance with Basel 2. The 
housing loan stock totalled EUR 4,598 million (EUR 4,036 million), of which     
mortgages granted by Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc made up EUR 2,498      
million (EUR 1,968 million). In all, housing loans increased by 13.9% over the  
year.                                                                           

New lending to companies remained moderate and corporate loans increased by 4.3%
from the beginning of the year, totalling EUR 845 million (EUR 810 million). The
proportion of the total credit stock accounted for by corporate loans fell as   
planned to 13.8% (14.9%).                                                       

Lending to the general public secured by collateral objects or unsecured within 
the framework of the financing companies Aktia Corporate Finance and Aktia Card 
& Finance totalled EUR 84.8 million (EUR 63.0 million), representing 1.4% of    
total lending.

The Bank Group's financing and liquidity risks                                  
Financing and liquidity risks are defined as the availability of refinancing    
plus the differences in maturity between assets and liabilities. The objective  
is to be able to cover one year's financing requirements using existing         
liquidity. The liquidity status has been stable despite continued financial     
uncertainty and at the year-end financial assets were at a level that meets     
refinancing requirements for approximately 16 months.                           

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 2,615 million at 31 December 2009 (EUR 2,290 million).             

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, 55% (49%) were investments in       
covered bonds, 30% (45%) were investments in banks, 11% (3%) were investments in
state-guaranteed bonds and approximately 4% (3%) were investments in public     
sector entities and companies. Of these financial assets, 1.7% (0.9%) did not   
meet the internal rating requirements. As a result of a reduced credit rating,  
four security assets with a total market value of EUR 18 million were 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 27        
million.                                                                        

During the period, write-downs totalling EUR -0.4 million were realised as a    
result of the issuer announcing its inability to pay.

Market valuation of financial assets                                            
The financial assets within the banking business are invested in securities with
access to market prices on an active market, and are valued in accordance with  
official quoted prices. 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      
Structural interest rate risk arises as a result of an imbalance between        
interest rate ties and the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, and affects net
interest income. 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
reduce the net interest income of the banking business for the next 12 months by
-4.3% (-5.4%) while the target for structural interest rate risk management is a
maximum of -7%. For the period 12-24 months, the net interest income of the     
banking business would reduce by -5.3% (-6.0%) 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 +3.0% (+6.3%), while the target for structural interest rate risk     
management is a maximum of -7%. For the next 12-24 months, the net interest     
income of the banking business would increase by +6.0% (+7.9%), while the target
for structural interest rate risk management is a maximum of -8%.               

Market value interest rate risk refers to changes in value of financial assets  
available for sale as a result of interest rate fluctuations or changes in      
credit, interest rate or spread risks. The size, maturity and risk level of the 
liquidity portfolio is restricted as a result of capital allocation limits and  
limits for entering into repurchase agreements.                                 

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 39.5 million after the deduction of deferred tax. At the year-end, 
the valuation difference in interest-bearing securities was positive at EUR 13.3
million (EUR -26.3 million).                                                    

Operational risks                                                               
Operational risks refer to loss risks arising as a result of unclear or         
incomplete instructions, activities carried out contrary to instructions,       
unreliable information, deficient systems or actions taken by staff members. If 
an operational risk is realised, this can result in direct or indirect financial
losses or tarnish the corporate image to the extent that the bank's credibility 
in the market-place suffers.                                                    

Personnel                                                                       
When converted into full-time employees, the number of staff employed by the    
Bank Group fell by 122 to 756 (878) people during 2009. The average number of   
full-time employees during the year was 766.                                    

Important events after the end of the reporting period                          
There are no events to be reported after the end of the reporting period.       

Outlook for the coming year                                                     
Aktia Bank expects operating profit for 2010 to be on the same level than in    
2009.                                                                           

In 2010, Aktia Bank's focus will be on strengthening customer relations,        
increasing selling, developing Internet services, managing costs, risks and     
capital in order to strengthen profitability. Aktia Bank is endeavouring to grow
above and beyond the market volume, particularly in the areas of retail         
customers and small companies.                                                  

Aktia Bank's financial results are affected by many factors, the most important 
of which are the general economic situation, fluctuations in share prices,      
interest rates and exchange rates and the competitive situation. Changes in     
these factors can have an impact on demand for banking, insurance, real estate  
agency and asset management services.                                           

Changes in interest rates, yield curves and credit margins are hard to predict  
and can affect Aktia Bank's interest rate margins and therefore profitability.  
Aktia pursues an active policy of managing interest rate risks.                 

Any future write-downs of loans in Aktia Bank's loan portfolio could be due to  
many factors, the most important of which are the general economic situation,   
interest rate levels, the level of unemployment and changes in house prices.    
Aktia Bank expects write-downs on credits to be lower than in 2009.             

The availability of liquidity on the money markets is of central importance for 
Aktia Bank's refinancing activities. Like other banks, Aktia Bank relies on     
deposits from households in order to service some of its liquidity needs.       

The market value of Aktia Bank's securities and other assets can change as a    
result of, among other things, a requirement for higher returns among investors.

The financial crisis has resulted in many new initiatives for regulating banking
and insurance businesses, which has brought about uncertainty concerning future 
capital requirements. A change in capital requirements could actualise both     
capitalisation needs and need for changes in the Aktia Group's structure.

Notes to the accounts announcement                                              

Note 1 Basis for preparing the interim report                                   
The Bank Group's financial statements are prepared in accordance with           
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU.       

The 2009 Accounts Announcement 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. Figures are mainly given in EUR million.                             

Aktia Bank plc's financial statement and interim reports are available on       
Aktia's website www.aktia.fi.                                                   

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

In February 2009 Aktia Life Insurance was sold to Aktia plc. The life insurance 
business is a separate segment in the Bank Group, which is why Aktia Life       
Insurance is to be reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 
5 as of 2009. Figures provided as a basis for comparison have been adjusted to  
correspond with 2009 reporting.                                                 

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 apply 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 now closed. Aktia Kortbonus. 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.
