Profit
The operating profit of the Group during the first quarter was EUR 10.3 (14.2)
million. The operating profit for 2008 includes capital gains of EUR 0.9 million
from real estate business.
The banking business reported a profit of EUR 12.2 (8.6) million as a result of
increased net interest income. Asset management suffered as a result of the
situation in the investment market and returned an operating loss of EUR -0.4
(1.0) million. The contribution of insurance business to the Group's operating
profit for the first quarter was EUR 2.0 (2.7) million for life insurance, while
that of non-life insurance was EUR -3.4 (-) million.
The operating profit from associated companies was EUR 0.0 million (-0.2).
Profit for the reporting period was EUR 7.2 (10.6) million.
Income
The Group's total income increased by 11.5% to EUR 50.0 (44.8) million.
Net interest income increased to EUR 32.5 (23.9) million. The derivatives used
by Aktia to limit its interest rate risk contributed EUR 2.0 (-1.5) million to
the improved net interest income during the period.
Net commission decreased by 10.2% to EUR 9.5 (10.6) million. Commission income
from funds, asset management and securities brokerage was, in spite of the
challenging market environment, at approximately the same level as the year
before, thanks to the income from the acquired Aktia Invest, and totalled
EUR 5.4 (5.6) million. Aktia Invest is an asset management unit that Aktia
acquired from Kaupthing in December 2008. The card and payment services
commissions amounted to EUR 2.8 (2.6) million. Income from real estate agency
commissions decreased to EUR 1.7 (1.9) million. Commission expenses increased by
EUR 1.4 million to EUR 3.2 (1.8) million. Of the total commissions, EUR 0.9
million is due to local banks for mortgages sold on behalf of Aktia Real Estate
Mortgage Bank.
Net income from life insurance amounted to EUR 5.4 (6.0) million. Aktia Non-Life
Insurance Company, consolidated since 1 January 2009, reports a net income of
EUR 2.0 million. Net income from the insurance business includes insurance
premium income, net income from investment activities, insurance claims paid and
the change in provisions.
Other operating income totalled EUR 0.8 (1.8) million. Most of the decrease of
EUR 1.0 million is attributable to the fact that the divestment of real estate
holdings of the banking business accrued capital gains during the corresponding
period in the previous year.
Expenditure
The Group's total expenditure rose by 25.4% to EUR 38.0 (30.3) million. Most of
the change was due to costs related to the new businesses, Aktia Non-Life
Insurance Company and Aktia Invest.
Staff costs increased by EUR 4.3 million to EUR 20.3 (16.0) million. Other
administration costs amounted to EUR 10.7 million (9.3). Most of the cost
increase of EUR 1.4 million is related to investments in IT and cost for
customer communications.
Total depreciation and write-downs on tangible and intangible assets amounted to
EUR 1.8 (1.3) million. Other operating expenses increased by EUR 1.7 million to
EUR 5.4 (3.7) million. The biggest change in other operating expenses was
attributable to increased rental costs that rose to EUR 1.3 million. During
2008, most of Aktia's real estate holdings were sold off in line with the
earlier divestment strategy because investments in real estate property are not
part of Aktia's core business.
Balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments
The Group's balance sheet total increased by 2.8% during the period and amounted
to EUR 9,808 million (9,540 million at 31 December 2008) at the end of the
period. The increase in the balance sheet total is primarily due to a growth in
the mortgage stock and an increase in those assets that are available for sale
and act as the bank's liquidity reserve. Borrowing both from the public and from
savings banks and local cooperative banks decreased by 3.8% to EUR 4,823 million
(5,015 million at 31December 2008), while borrowing using other financial
instruments increased by 7.8% to EUR 3,375 million (3,130 million at 31December
2008).
The Group's total lending to the public amounted to EUR 5,592 million (5,426
million at 31 December 2008), representing an increase of EUR 167 million
(+3.1%). The loans to private households accounted for EUR 4,499 million, or
80.4%, of the total loan stock. Of these loans to private households, 86.5% are
secured by housing collateral (in accordance with Basel 2). Excluding the
mortgages sold and capitalised by savings and local cooperative banks, the
Group's lending increased by 1.9% from year-end.
The housing loan stock totalled EUR 4,282 million (4,036 million at 31 December
2008), of which mortgages made up EUR 2,123 million (1,968 million at 31
December 2008). In all, housing loans increased by 6.1%. Of the EUR 163 million
total increase in mortgage loans, EUR 83 million came from loans sold by savings
banks and local co-operative banks on behalf of Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank.
Lending to corporate customers decreased, as planned, to EUR 796 million (804
million at 31 December 2008) during the first quarter.
Interest-bearing financial assets available for sale increased by 3.7% to EUR
2,912 million (2,808 million at 31 December 2008) million. These assets mainly
consist of the banking business' liquidity reserve and can be used as security
for transactions involving binding repurchase terms, known as repo agreements.
Deposits from the public and public sector entities decreased marginally (-0.3%)
from year-end to EUR 3,088 million (3,098 million at 31 December 2008).
Outstanding Aktia certificates of deposit amounted to EUR 339 million at the end
of the period, which represents an increase of EUR 76 million during the period.
Aktia also issued new debentures and index-linked loans with a total value of
EUR 18 million.
Life insurance provisions amounted to EUR 761 million (777 million at 31
December 2008).
Non-Life insurance provisions stood at EUR 115 million (99 million at 1 January
2009) at the end of the period (excluding acquisition eliminations of EUR 11
million).
Off-balance sheet commitments increased by EUR 59 million from the year-end and
amounted to EUR 588 million (529 million at 31 December 2008) million. The
increase was largely due to unused credit facilities (loan promises).
The Group's equity amounted to EUR 345 million (317 million at 31 December 2008)
at the end of the period. The Group's fund at fair value amounted to EUR -43
million compared to EUR -36 million at 31 December 2008.
Capital adequacy and solvency
The banking group's capital adequacy amounted to 14.2% compared to 13.7% at
year-end. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.0% (31.12.2008: 9.3). Capital adequacy
calculated according to Basel 2 rules improved as Aktia Bank sold off Aktia Life
Insurance from the Bank Group to the parent company Aktia plc and thus avoids
the deductions related to holdings in insurance companies in the said capital
adequacy calculation. The capital adequacy of the Bank Group remains at a good
level, achieving the capital adequacy target and clearly exceeding the
regulatory requirements.
The working capital of Life Insurance amounted to EUR 40 million and the
solvency was 7.1% (8.5). The share risk in the investment portfolio has
continued to decrease, and Aktia plc is prepared to increase the equity of Aktia
Life Insurance by up to EUR 20 million if necessary.
The Non-Life Insurance company, consolidated in the Group at year-end, reports a
solvency (risk carrying capacity) of 80.8%.
Capital adequacy for the financial and insurance conglomerate amounted to 133.1%
(135.2 million 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 has been confirmed as the best classification, P-1, for
short-term borrowing. The credit ratings for long-term borrowing and financial
strength were the same, at A1 and C respectively, all with a stable outlook.
The subsidiary Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank Plc has issued long-term covered
bonds with the highest credit rating of Aaa from Moody's Investors Service.
Valuation of financial assets
Value changes reported via the fund at fair value
Impairments in interest-bearing securities where the issuer has not noted an
inability to pay and value impairments 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 million after deferred tax, compared to EUR -36 million at
31 December 2008.
Of the fund at fair value as per 31 March 2009, EUR 47 million was attributable
to the negative valuation difference of interest-bearing securities, including
fund units in interest-bearing funds, which are mainly due to continued poor
liquidity and investors' demands for high returns as a result of the general
uncertainty in the financial markets. The negative value changes in
interest-bearing securities will not materialise provided that the issuer does
not become unable to pay or the security is cashed in before its maturity.

December 2008) as a result of significant or long-term impairment of shares and

inability to pay. Of the write-downs, EUR 4.9 million was attributable to
shares and participations in the investment portfolio of the Life Insurance
Company and EUR 4.7 million to interest-bearing securities, of which EUR 4.3
million was related to the investment portfolio of the Life Insurance Company.

Write-downs of loan and guarantee claims
Write-downs based on individual examination of loan and guarantee claims
totalled EUR -1.7 (-0.1) million. Reversals of losses from previous years came
to EUR 0.1 (0.1) million so that the cost effect on the profit for the period
was EUR -1.6 (-0.0) million. In addition to individual write-downs, group
write-downs were made where there were objective reasons to believe there was
uncertainty in relation to the repayment of claims in underlying credit
portfolios. Group write-downs for households and small companies stood at
EUR 7.4, unchanged from the year-end, million and are based on anticipated
losses in relation to the market situation.
Segment overview
Aktia plc's new division into business segments was from 1 January 2009 changed
so that segments Retail Banking and Corporate Banking & Treasury are combined
into a segment entitled Banking Business. The other segments are Asset
Management, Life Insurance, Non-Life Insurance and Miscellaneous. The
Miscellaneous segment includes the Group administration of Aktia plc, certain
administrative functions for Aktia Bank plc and return on equity.
Comparative figures for 2008 relating to the new segmentation were published on
8 April 2009.
Banking business
The operating profit of banking business increased to EUR 12.2 million (8.6).
Operating income totalled EUR 39.2 million (31.8). The improvement is mainly
attributable to net interest income that increased to EUR 30.8 million (22.3).
Net commission income decreased to EUR 7.0 million (7.6), mainly as a result of
reduced fund commissions. Operating expenses rose to EUR 25.3 million (23.1).
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 financial result was affected by one major case of corporate credit loss.
The customer base of Banking Business increased by 3,000 private customers
during the first quarter. The number of Internet banking agreements is 109,361.
Aktia's lending to private households, including the mortgages sold by Aktia,
increased by 1.7% to EUR 3,411 million (3,353 million at 31December 2008).
Mortgage loans sold by Aktia on behalf of Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank
amounted to EUR 1,149 million (1,069 million at 31 December 2008). Aktia's
market share in housing loans increased to 4.2%. Aktia's total lending to
private households made up 80.4% of the credit stock.
Total savings by households were EUR 2,930 million (2,097 million at 31 December
2008), of which household deposits were EUR 2,374 million (2 359 million at 31
December 2008) and savings by households in mutual funds were EUR 556 million
(548). The flow of funds out from the funds has turned, and an increase of 1.4%
in savings by households took place during the first quarter.
The decrease in short market rates of interest has had a positive effect on net
interest income through lower re-financing costs, hedging derivative instruments
and fixed-rate investments in the liquidity portfolio.
Increased risk premiums, the so-called spread, have allowed better returns from
new investments in the liquidity portfolio, which has had a positive effect on
net interest income. At the same time, the increased risk premiums have reduced
the market value of the liquidity portfolio which burdens capital adequacy
through the fund at fair value.
Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc showed continued growth. The total credit
stock grew by 7.9% to EUR 2,234 million. Of the growth in credit stock, 49.5%
was sold by Aktia's branch offices and 50.5% by savings banks and local
co-operative banks. In February, Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc issued a
covered bond worth EUR 125 million. The loan has a floating rate and a
three-year maturity.
The net interest income of Corporate Banking developed favourably. Commission
income fell somewhat due to fewer new loans being granted. The general economic
situation has brought with it an increased risk of credit losses.
The operating profit of real estate agency business developed positively, mainly
as a result of cost adjustment measures, and amounted to EUR 0.2 million (-0.1).
Asset Management
Operating profit for Aktia's asset management business fell to EUR -0.4 million
(1.0). The market situation continued to be very challenging throughout the
period. However, Aktia did relatively well in the difficult market situation.
The operating profit for the period includes non-recurring items, mainly
materialised capital losses.
The Asset Management segment has continued to focus its operations more
extensively in private banking and institutional investors. In December 2008,
Aktia acquired Kaupthing's Finnish asset management business. This acquisition
strengthened Aktia's service portfolio, representing expertise which has been
very much appreciated by institutional investors in Finland. A more extensive
investment of resources in private banking business has been initiated in
Aktia's branch offices. During the period, Aktia issued an index-linked loan
entitled Aktia Recovery Basket.
Operating income, i.e. income after reversals to the Group's other units and
business partners, was EUR 2.9 (3.5) million. The business environment was very
challenging for the whole of the period. Operating expenses increased by EUR 0.8
million to EUR 3.3 million, of which staff costs constituted EUR 1.9 million.
The total increase of 0.8 million in costs is in its entirety attributable to
increased investments in private banking and institutional investment
businesses.
The volume of funds managed and brokered by Aktia (excluding Aktia Invest)
amounted to EUR 2,415 million (1,512 million at 31 December 2008) million.
Aktia's market share was 6.0% (3.7) at the end of the period. The total market
is based on information from The Finnish Association of Mutual Funds.The assets
managed by Aktia, including Asset Management and Aktia Invest (the asset
management business acquired in December 2008) remained at the same level and
totalled EUR 4,515 million (4,538 million at 31 December 2008). The customer
assets of Private Banking totalled EUR 672 million (738 million at 31December
2008). The number of customers in Private Banking increased by approximately 2%
over the course of the period.
Life Insurance
The contribution of the life insurance business to the Group's operating profit
was EUR 2.0 million (2.7). The operating environment was challenging and had a
negative impact on both premium income and the results of investment business.
The segment's operating profit 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 last year.
Premium income was EUR 20.5 (25.5) million. The decrease in premium income is
mainly due to the fact that the sales of large investment policies paid for in
one payment have decreased. The sales organisation of the Life Insurance segment
was transferred to Aktia Non-Life Insurance on 1 March 2009, and sales through
that channel have started well.
Insurance benefits totalled EUR 25.0 (21.2) million. Increased payment of
insurance benefits resulted primarily from surrender of savings policies and
investment policies as well as increased pension and health insurance payments.
The operating expenses totalled EUR 3.7 million (3.2). The cost ratio worsened
to 115.4% compared to 99.0% in 2008. The primary reason behind the poorer cost
efficiency is the change in principles of allocating the Group's management
costs in the segment. Coordination of sales distribution within the Group is
expected to bring cost savings in the future.
The investment markets continued to be challenging during the first quarter of
the year, albeit that a certain degree of recovery could be seen. The return on
the company's investments based on fair value was -2.3% (-2.4). During the
period, the share risk has continued to decrease through selling off holdings in
the share portfolio.
Technical provisions totalled EUR 761 million (777 million at 31 December 2008),
of which unit-linked insurance policies represented EUR 147 million (150 million
at 31 December 2008). Interest-based provisions totalled EUR 614 million (627).
The discount rate for certain elements of these provisions was increased,
resulting in an average discount rate for all interest-bearing provisions of
3.4%. The increase reduced provisions by EUR 10.1 million.
The company's solvency amounted to 7.1% compared to 8.5% at 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 the reporting principles of IFRS. An opening balance according
to IFRS was prepared for 1 January 2009. The company's opening balance according
to IFRS includes equity amounting to EUR 31.9 million, technical provisions
amounting to EUR 99.1 million, while the balance sheet total stood at EUR 155.3
million.
The contribution of the non-life insurance business to the Group's operating
profit for the period was EUR -3.4 million. Premium income before reinsurers'
share was EUR 28.8 million. Premium income for the period after reinsurers'
share and change of premium liabilities amounted to EUR 13.9 million. Claim
expenditure amounted to a total of EUR 11.7 million. Net income from investment
business amounted to EUR -0.4 million, primarily as a result of a consciously
low level of risk in the investment portfolio and selling off all the company's
equity investments that resulted in net capital losses of EUR -1.2 million.
Operating expenses amounted to EUR 5.3 million. The total cost ratio was 122%.
Of the total technical provisions of the company at EUR 114.7 million (99.1 at 1
January 2009), the actual provisions for compensation claims were EUR 80.9
million (79.4 at 1 January 2009). The fair value of the company's investment
portfolio was EUR 137.3 million (130.7 at 1 January 2009), and the company's
risk carrying capacity was 80.8%.
Miscellaneous
The operating profit of the Miscellaneous segment was EUR 2.2 million (2.8).
Aktia plc and Aktia Bank plc have on 20 March 2009 agreed that Aktia Bank plc
will sell its shares in Aktia Life Insurance to the Group parent company Aktia
plc. The right to title, possession and all other rights associated with the
shares are transferred once it has been established that Financial Supervision
has no objections regarding the transaction. The transaction will not affect the
operative business of Aktia Life Insurance. The price corresponds to the
reported net asset value of the Life Insurance Company which on 28 February 2009
stood at EUR 45.5 million. The effect of the transaction is eliminated at Group
level.
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 composition of the credit portfolio
during the first quarter. The share of household loans increased slightly to

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 is no financing connection between the Bank Group and the
insurance companies. The objective in the Bank Group is to be able to cover one
year's financing requirements using existing liquidity. Despite considerable
uncertainty in the financial markets, the liquidity status was good and this aim
was achieved.
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 the inward flow
of cash 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 liquid portfolio of bonds and shares.
The actuarial risk in 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 a 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
At the end of the year, the banking business' liquidity portfolio - which is
managed by Group Treasury - stood at EUR 2,327 million (2,290 31.12.2008:)
million. Counterparty risks arising in relation to liquidity management
operations and entry into derivative contracts are managed through the
requirement for high-level external ratings (minimum A3 rating from Moody's or
equivalent) and the conservative allocation and active selection of investment
assets as well as the rules regarding maximum exposure for each counterparty and
asset category.
Of the financial assets available for sale, 51% (31.12.2008: 49) were
investments in covered bonds, 36% (31.12.2008: 45) were investments in banks, 9%
(31.12.2008: 3) were investments in state-guaranteed bonds and approximately 4%
(31.12.2008: 3) were investments in public sector entities and companies. Of the
financial assets, 1.1% did not meet the internal rating requirements, while
seven securities with a market value of EUR 25 million were no longer eligible
for refinancing with the central bank.
During the quarter, write-offs totalling EUR -0.4 materialised as a result of
the issuer having noted an inability to pay.

Counterparty risks in the life insurance business
The direct interest investments in the life insurance company's investment
business increased as a result of continued reallocation, primarily from share
investments, totalling EUR 465 million (449) at the end of the quarter.
Counterparty risks arising in connection with the life insurance company's
investments are managed by the requirement for at least “Investment grade”
external rating (rating class Baa3 from Moody's or equivalent) and by rules
concerning maximum exposure for each counterparty and asset category.
At the end of the period, 45% (48% 31.12.2008:) of these direct interest rate
investments were receivables from public sector entities, 21% (20% 31.12.2008:)
were receivables from companies and 34% (32 % 31.12.2008:) were receivables from
banks and covered bonds.
1.3% of the direct interest rate investments did not meet the internal rating
requirements at the end of the period. During the quarter, write-offs totalling
EUR -4.3 materialised as a result of the counterparty announcing its inability
to pay.

Market risks
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 negative differences
between acquisition value and market value is reported under 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. The net
change in the fund at fair value , including the provision for cash flow
hedging, relating to market value interest rate risk posted during the period
totalled EUR -5.3 million after the deduction of deferred tax.
With an interest rate increase of one percentage point for financial assets
available for sale, the net change of the fund at fair value at 31 March 2009
would be -27.1 million (-27.2 million at 31 December 2008:) after the deduction
of deferred tax.
Structural interest rate risk arises as a result of an imbalance between
interest rate ties and the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, and affects net
interest income. To reduce the volatility in the net interest income, structural
interest rate risk is primarily contained through the use of hedging derivative
instruments.
A parallel upward shift in the interest rate curve of one percentage point would
reduce the net interest income of the banking business for the next 12 months by
-5.4% (-5.4% at 31 December 2008:) while the target for structural interest rate
risk management is a maximum of -6%. For the next 12-24 months, the net interest
income of the banking business would reduce by -1.0% (-6.0% at 31 December
2008:), 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 +5.3% (+6.3% at 31 December 2008:), while the target for structural
interest rate risk management is a maximum of -6%. For the next 12-24 months,
the net interest income of the banking business would increase by +2.5% (+7.9%
at 31 December 2008) 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, or ownership of, real estate property is
carried out in the banking business, including the parent company. At the end of
the year, real estate assets totalled EUR 3.6 (31.12.2008: 4.6) million. The
investments in shares which are necessary or strategic to the business totalled
EUR 20.6 (31.12.2008: 21.9) million. At the end of the period, the fund at fair
value related to the above strategic share investments amounted to EUR -0.5
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 evaluated 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 technical provisions is measured on an
ongoing basis at fair value. During the reporting period, write-downs affecting
profit attributable to shares and participations totalling EUR -4.9 million were
posted, while the net change in the fund at fair value after acquisition
eliminations posted during the period totalled EUR -9.1 million after the
deduction of deferred tax.
The risks of the investment portfolio, such as credit risks, interest rate
risks, exchange rate risks, share risks and real estate risks, are measured and
contained using a VaR (Value at Risk) model, assuming a maximum loss for 12
months and applying a probability level of 97.5%.

ongoing basis at fair 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.
The reported net change in the fund at fair value during the period totalled
EUR 1.2 million after the deductions for deferred tax.

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 registered during the
reporting period.
Personnel
When converted into full-time employees, the number of staff employed by the
Group increased by 187 from year-end to 1,240 at the end of the reporting
period. The average number of full-time employees was 1,204 during the first
quarter while on an annual basis, it was 1,070 (956). At the end of March, Aktia
Non-Life Insurance Company, consolidated in the Aktia Group from 1 January 2009,
had 229 full-time employees.
Aktia Non-Life Insurance's Managing Director Anders Nordman was appointed as a
member of Aktia plc's Executive Committee on 1 January 2009 with responsibility
for Aktia Bank's Corporate Banking and Aktia Non-Life Insurance.
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 company continues its business in the Aktia Group under the name
Aktia Non-Life Insurance Company Ltd.
Aktia Bank plc has on 20 March 2009 agreed to sell its shares in Aktia Life
Insurance Company Ltd to the Group parent company Aktia plc on the condition
that the right to title, possession and all other rights associated with the
shares are transferred once it has been established that Financial Supervision
has no objections regarding the transaction. The transaction will not affect the
operative business of the companies.
The price will be paid in cash. The contract price corresponds to the reported
net asset value of the Life Insurance Company which on 28 February 2009 stood at
EUR 45.5 million, and the transaction will not affect the financial results of
the Aktia Bank Group. However, the capital adequacy ratio of the Aktia Bank
Group will marginally improve.
The new Group structure will enhance efficiency regarding capitalisation and
rating.
Share capital and ownership
At the end of the reporting period, the paid-up share capital of Aktia plc as
entered in the Finnish Trade Register was EUR 93,848,836, divided into
46,924,418 series A shares and 20,050,850 series R shares. During the first
quarter of 2009, of the merger compensation of 6,800,000 shares, 5,612,341 new
series A shares have been registered on the book-entry account. The number of
shareholders at the end of the reporting period was 49,676. The inspection and
registration of outstanding shares continues. Aktia estimates that the total
number of shareholders will amount to approx. 70,000.
Aktia's holding of treasury shares increased to 536,288, 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. Of the
authorisation, a total of 22,482 shares were used in 2008. With the support of
the issue authorisation, the Board of Directors of Aktia plc has on 30 March
2009 decided on a directed share issue to designated persons in the operative
top management of the company. In the issue, a maximum of 12,490 new series A
shares are issued at a subscription price of EUR 6,00 per share.

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
EUR10,046,290.20 for the financial period 1 January - 31 December 2008.

The AGM adopted the proposal of the Board of Directors regarding resolutions for
share issue authorisations. The proposal has been published at www.aktia.com on
pages entitled Financial information, Annual general meeting, Summons and
advance material.
Listing on the Stock Exchange
On 30 March 2009, Aktia plc's Board of Directors decided to seek for a listing
of Aktia plc's series A and R shares on the list of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The
listing should take place in September 2009. The purpose of the flotation is to
increase the possibilities of shareholders to trade in Aktia's shares and enable
effective price establishment.
Events after end of the reporting period
Moody's Investors Service Ltd has confirmed Aktia Bank plc's credit rating A1
for long-term borrowing, P-1 for short-term borrowing and C for financial
strength, all with a stable outlook.
M.Sc.(Econ.) Magnus Backström, 51, has been appointed Managing Director of Aktia
Asset Management. He will assume his position on 1 June 2009.
The Financial Supervisory Authority announced on 28 April 2009 that it does not
oppose Aktia plc's acquisition of shares in Aktia Life Insurance Ltd by Aktia
Bank plc as published in a Stock Exchange Release on 8 April 2009..
The branch network in the Helsinki area, as well as in Turku and Tampere, has
been modified so as to combine a number of smaller branches into larger branch
centres.
Outlook and the risks that can affect it
The Group's operating profitability during 2009 is expected to remain at a
stable level, unless the risk of loan losses and risks in connection with
individual investments are increased.
A sustained good credit rating and the capital base are expected to enable
moderate growth and refinancing even in the current market situation. Decisions
will be made on any use of state refinancing guarantees on commercial grounds.
The importance of cost effectiveness will further increase in the current
economic and competitive situation.
An escalation of the financial unrest could even lead to permanent drops of
value in 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.

Note1 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 - 31 March 2009 has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim financial
report does not contain all the information and notes required for an annual
report and should therefore be read together with the Group's annual report of
31 December 2008.
Aktia plc's interim report can be downloaded from Aktia's website at
www.aktia.com under the heading Financial information/interim reports.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 31 March 2009 has been approved by
the Board of Directors on 12 May 2009.
Substantial accounting policies
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. 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 at 31 December 2008. This change in liabilities is reported in the
income statement as personnel costs in 2009.
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. 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 operates one bonus scheme. Aktia Kortbonus. This bonus scheme has already
been treated in bookkeeping in accordance with IFRIC 13 which is why the
introduction of this standard will not affect the Group's financial results or
standing. The bonus liabilities for the reference year 2008 have been
transferred from other liabilities to accruals.
Note 2 Segment reporting
Business areas
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 Ab. Life Insurance includes Aktia Life Insurance Ab. Non-Life
Insurance includes Aktia Non-Life Insurance Ab. Miscellaneous includes Group
management in Aktia plc and certain administrative functions that are not
allocated to the various business areas. This business area also includes
Vasp-Invest Ab.
Allocation principles
Net interest income in the various segments. especially in retail banking.
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 business areas 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 business areas in accordance with various allocation rules.
Until further notice. Aktia is not allocating equity to the various business
areas. Miscellaneous consists of any items in the income statement and balance
sheet that are not allocated to the various business areas. Internal Group
transactions between legal entities are eliminated and reported within each
business area if the legal entities are in the same business area. 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.

AKTIA PLC
Board of Directors
Review Report on the Interim Report of Aktia P.L.C. as of 31.3.2009
To the Board of Directors of Aktia p.l.c.
Introduction
We have reviewed the balance sheet as of 31.3.2009. the income statement, the
statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Aktia p.l.c. for
the three-month period then ended, as well as a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the financial statements. The
Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU,
and other Finnish rules and regulations governing the preparation of interim
reports. At the request of the Board of Directors we issue our opinion on the
interim report.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements
2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of
making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
standards on auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices, and
therefore the procedures performed in a review do not enable to obtain a level
of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Opinion
Based on our review. nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the Interim Report does not give a true and fair view of the entity's
financial position as of 31 March 2009 and the result of its operations and cash
flows for the three-month period then ended, in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and
other applicable rules and regulations governing interim financial reporting
preparation in Finland.
