Accounting change The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's recommendation RR20, regarding interim reporting. As of financial year 2001, insurance companies whose assets do not exceed 20 percent of a group's assets are consolidated in a simplified manner. This means that profit from insurance operations is reported on a separate line in the profit and loss account and that the insurance operations' assets and liabilities are reported separately in the consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with RR5, Reporting changes in accounting principles, comparative figures have been restated. Beginning with this interim report, an operational profit and loss account has been introduced as well. The operational profit and loss account comprises the same legal entities and follows the same accounting principles as the legal profit and loss account, with the exception that the items related to the insurance operations are integrated into the income and expenses of other operations. The descriptions in the running text in this interim report are based on the operational profit and loss account, unless indicated otherwise. The business area review is also based on the operational accounts. Apart from the above-mentioned changes, the accounting principles have not been changed since the Annual Report 2000. Income Net interest income The Group's net interest income rose by SEK 452 M or 14 percent to SEK 3,796 M (3,344). The change in net interest income is primarily due to volume-related income in Hansapank and FI-Holding and a surplus loan insurance refund of approximately SEK 100 M. In addition, the state deposit guarantee fee, which is charged to net interest income, has been reduced by SEK 112 M. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2000, net interest income rose by SEK 336 M or 10 percent. Net commission income Net commission income decreased by SEK 193 M or 11 percent to SEK 1,519 M (1,712). Due to a drop-off stock trading, brokerage commissions declined by SEK 160 M. Commissions from asset management fell by SEK 86 M owing to significantly lower, falling stock prices. Net commission income from payment services continued to grow, rising by SEK 62 M compared with the first quarter of 2000. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2000, net commission income decreased by SEK 254 M or 14 percent, mainly due to lower equity-related income. Net profit on financial operations Net profit on financial operations amounted to SEK 224 M (432). Profit from trading in stocks and fixed income instruments declined, while income from currency operations developed positively, mainly at Swedbank Markets, though also in Hansapank and FI-Holding. Other income Other income amounted to SEK 246 M (192) during the first quarter of 2001. Expenses Staff costs Staff costs for the first quarter of 2001 remained largely unchanged at SEK 1,597 M (1,530). Profit was charged with SEK 113 M (62) for profit sharing costs in the group, of which SEK 100 M has been earmarked as a possible future allocation to the Kopparmyntet profit sharing fund. Change in the number of full-time positions Number of employees in the Group in terms of full-time positions Mar 31 Dec 31 Mar 31 2001 2000 2000 Permanent 9,201 9,106 9,040 employees Temporary 527 574 709 employees Subtotal 9,728 9,680 9,749 Hansapank 3,190 3,180 2,927 FIH 139 142 138 Permanent 13,057 13,002 12,814 employees IT expenses During the first quarter of 2001 the Group's total IT expenses, after deducting income from independent savings banks and jointly owned banks, amounted to SEK 683 M (473). As previously announced in connection with the sale of shares in Poland's Bank Handlowy in June 2000, the Bank decided in the fourth quarter of 2000 to move ahead certain investments to web-adapt internal systems and add to the range of services in the Internet bank. This work, which will be completed during the first half of this year, will result in a number of significant functional and efficiency improvements. Consequently, activity in the IT area will be higher during the first half of the year than the second, not taking into account activities owing to the planned merger with SEB. Loan losses The loan loss level for the first quarter of 2001 was 0.2 percent (0.2). Loan losses amounted to SEK 350 M (350), of which FI-Holding and Hansapank accounted for SEK 53 M (44). The Group's problem loans, net, amounted to SEK -268 M (+606) as of March 31, 2001. A specification of loan losses and problem loans is provided in Notes 4 and 5. Tax expense 25 percent The tax expense amounted to SEK 505 M (563), or an effective tax rate of 25 percent (25). Interest rate risk An increase in market interest rates of one percentage point as of March 31, 2001 would have reduced the value of the Group's interest-bearing assets and liabilities, including derivatives, by approximately SEK 513 M (558). The decrease in value for positions in SEK would have amounted to SEK 320 M (407) and for positions in foreign currency SEK 193 M (151). The Group's interest rate risk in foreign currency is primarily in the foreign subsidiaries Hansapank and FI-Holding. An interest rate increase of one percentage point would have reduced the Group's net profit on financial operations by approximately SEK 145 M (370) as of March 31, 2001. The Group also holds positions in inflation- indexed instruments, denominated in SEK, which a one-percent increase in real interest rates would have reduced in value by approximately SEK 65 M (66) as of March 31, 2001, of which approximately SEK 37 M (27) would affect reported net profit on financial operations. Capital adequacy ratio 10.4 percent On March 31, 2001 the capital adequacy ratio amounted to 10.4 percent (10.8), of which the primary capital ratio was 6.6 percent (6.9). Market risks as a share of the total capital adequacy ratio amounted to 0.5 percentage points (0.5). The total risk-weighted amount rose to SEK 533 billion (509). The increase is primarily attributable to higher lending by FI-Holding and Spintab. Profit for the first quarter of 2001 is not included in the capital base.

Household lending rose by approximately SEK 4 billion or 2 percent during the first quarter, owing in its entirety to increased mortgage lending by Spintab.

An agreement was signed on lower clearing fees for card transactions for local retailers that participate in a cash reduction project and/or sign on for the joint Allround card concept. The Allround concept gives member companies of the Federation access to a bonus and loyalty system via the jointly owned company Allround AB. In the future, the concept will be linked to FöreningsSparbanken's bank card. Cards FöreningsSparbanken's card operations reported continued growth. As of March 31, 2001 the Bank had approximately 2.5 million cards in issue, an increase of 123,000 or 5 percent compared with the previous year. Customers' card use continues to increase.

Telia has begun a pilot project with e-bills and plans a market launch of the service in March. Agreements have been signed with another 32 companies that will offer e-billing in 2001. Giro The Bank's customers are increasingly switching from paper-based giro payments to an electronic, Internet-based giro system via FöreningsSparbanken by Internet. Paper-based giro transactions decreased by 4 percent, while Internet-based transactions rose by 62 percent. Retail Retail, FöreningsSparbanken's banking organization primarily for private clients and smaller and medium-size companies in the Swedish market, coordinates meeting places for customers, i.e. the physical branch office network and electronic meeting places such as FöreningsSparbanken by Internet and FöreningsSparbanken by Telephone. The branch network is organized into 107 local banks around the country. With its 579 branches, FöreningsSparbanken has the largest branch network of any Swedish bank. Cooperation agreement with Posten creates a stronger branch and distribution network FöreningsSparbanken has signed a cooperation agreement with Posten, the Sweden postal service. The agreement gives the Bank's customers, who already have access to Sweden's most extensive branch network, access to teller service at around 1,350 post offices as well as via 2,700 rural mailmen. By the summer the Bank's customers are expected to be able to use the postal service's distribution network for basic teller transactions. Sale of third-party mutual funds will soon begin FöreningsSparbanken has signed agreements with a number of third-party fund management companies. In the near future the Bank's customers will be offered 24 funds from seven different fund companies, in addition to Robur's range of funds. This is the first step in FöreningsSparbanken's strategy to open the value chain, i.e. to offer a broader range of products and services, including those of external suppliers, through the Bank's sales channels. Third-party funds have been selected based on high ratings and internationally recognized fund managers. In practical terms, this means that the third-party funds that are selected may complement as well as compete with Robur's own funds. FöreningsSparbanken by Telephone As of March 31, 2001 approximately 1,096,000 customers (896,000) had signed up for FöreningsSparbanken by Telephone with personal assistance, an increase of 200,000 or 22 percent from a year earlier.

Firstviewbank.com Firstviewbank, which opened in February 2001, is FöreningsSparbanken's Internet bank in the Danish private market. Due to changes in market conditions for stand-alone Internet banks, the Bank has decided to postpone the marketing launch of Firstviewbank. Merger with SEB On February 22 it was announced that the Boards of Directors of FöreningsSparbanken and SEB had decided to combine the two companies through a legal merger. The name of the new bank will be SEB Swedbank. Complementary banks create customer value and growth opportunities The merger, between two banks that complement each other well, creates Sweden's leading financial group with a stronger range of products and services for customers. FöreningsSparbanken has a well-established local presence and a prominent position throughout the country among private individuals and small and medium-size companies as well as organizations, municipalities and county councils. SEB's image is strong among large corporations and it is a leading bank in urban areas. It also has a leading position among financially active customers. Accessibility will improve for customers of both banks through, among other things, the expanded branch coverage in Sweden. The merger will make it possible to further develop a unified and competitive, extensive and locally based banking alternative with an improved range of products and services for private individuals, companies and institutions. SEB Swedbank will be one of Europe's 25 largest banks The new Group will have 35,000 employees, total assets of approximately SEK 2,000 billion and assets under management of SEK 1,300 billion. FöreningsSparbanken and SEB will merge as equals, creating one of the 25 largest banks in Europe in terms of market value. The merger is expected to yield annual cost savings of SEK 2.5-3.0 billion, mainly at a central level, in IT and the product companies, and due to changes in the branch network. No employees will be terminated as a result of the merger. However, the number of employees is expected to be reduced by 2,000 during a three-year period through attrition and targeted retirement offers. The merger is expected to generate restructuring costs of approximately SEK 4 billion, which will be covered over time by payments from pension funds and the sale of branches to independent savings banks and jointly owned banks. Increases in income due to the merger is expected to, by a margin, exceed any losses in income the merger causes. Preliminary timetable for the merger The merger is contingent on, among other things, the approval of the extraordinary general meetings of the two banks and the necessary approval from the Government and the appropriate authorities, including the EU. Depending on whether the EU decides to simply review or thoroughly investigate the merger, a decision will be announced either in late June or in November. Prior to the merger, integration planning will be led by an integration committee. A number of project teams, covering the entire new group, have been formed to plan the forthcoming integration. The boards of both banks have unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the merger. All preparation work of both a legal and practical nature is proceeding according to plans in every respect. Highlights after March 31, 2001 Hansapank signs agreement to acquire LTB Hansapank has signed an agreement to acquire 90 percent of Lithuania's second largest bank, the savings bank Lietuvos Taupomasis Bankas (LTB).
