Ålandsbanken Interim report Interim report for the period January - March 2010

Bank of Åland Plc STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 3.5.2010 09.00 hrs Interim report for the period January - March 2010 The report period in brief Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was consolidated for the first time on March 31, 2009, which means that the company's balance sheet was included in the Bank of Åland Group, while its earnings for Q1 2009 were not. The Group's earnings and financial ratios for Q1 2010 are thus not comparable to the corresponding data for Q1 2009. • Consolidated net operating profit decreased by 66 per cent to 2.2 million euros (January-March 2009: EUR 6.3 M). Ålandsbanken Sverige AB pulled down earnings for the report period by EUR 3.0 M. • Net interest income increased by 6 per cent to EUR 9.7 M (9.1) • Commission income increased by 83 per cent to EUR 9.1 M (5.0) • Total income increased by 15 per cent to EUR 23.5 M (20.4) • Expenses rose by 54 per cent to EUR 21.3 M (13.8) • Impairment losses on loans amounted to EUR 0.1 M (0.4) • Lending volume increased by 6 per cent to EUR 2,549 M (March 2009: 2,416) • Deposits increased by 2 per cent to EUR 2,408 M (March 2009: 2,354) • Mutual fund assets under mana gement increased by 71 per cent to EUR 927 M (542) • Return on equity after taxes (ROE) was 1.9 per cent (13.1) • The expense/income ratio amounted to 91 (69) per cent • The total capital ratio in compliance with Basel 2 amounted to 12.6 per cent (12.4) • Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.06 (1.37) • Taking into consideration that the Group's earnings in 2009 included a sizeable nonrecurring income item, earnings in 2010 are expected to be substantially lower than in 2009 • The Group's operational earnings, excluding non-recurring income, are expected to be at least at the same level as in 2009 Earnings and profitability This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) that have been adopted by the European Union, as well as with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. Earnings summary for the report period Early 2010 represented a continued improvement of income from asset management and private banking operations, while low marginal interest rates and depressed deposit margins pulled down net interest income in traditional banking operations. The Ban k of Åland Group's managed assets showed very encouraging growth as a consequence of both net influx and an upturn in values, while lending and deposit volume increased moderately. Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd's operations expanded during the period, contributing to higher “Other operating income”. During the period, the operations of Ålandsbanken Sverige AB were loss-making, even though managed assets showed very positive growth. During January-March 2010, the consolidated net operating profit of the Bank of Åland Group decreased by 66 per cent to EUR 2.2 M (Jan-Mar 2009: 6.3). Income increased by 15 per cent to EUR 23.5 M (20.4), while expenses rose by 54 per cent to EUR 21.3 M (13.8). Return on equity after taxes (ROE) decreased to 1.9 (13.1) per cent, and earnings per share to EUR 0.06 (0.37). Ålandsbanken Sverige AB (encompassing Ålandsbanken Sverige AB, Ålandsbanken Fonder AB and Alpha Management Company S.A.) was consolidated in the Bank of Åland Group for the first time on March 31, 2009. This meant that the company was included in the statement of financial position, while earnings for the first quarter of 2009 did not include effects generated in Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. This affects comparability between the periods. The allocation between the Group's Finnish and Swedish business areas can be found in the table entitled “Earnings, newly acquir ed operations”. Net interest income During the report period, consolidated net interest income increased by 6 per cent to EUR 9.7 M (9.1). Ålandsbanken Sverige AB had net interest income of EUR 1.9 M. Despite increasing lending volume, low interest rates depressed net interest income during the period. Margins on lending showed a rising trend during the period, while the prevailing market situation led to depressed deposit margins and higher refinancing costs. Lending volume rose by 6 per cent to EUR 2,549 M (2,416). Deposit volume increased by 2 per cent to EUR 2,408 M (2,354). Other income Commission income rose by 83 per cent to EUR 9.1 M (5.0). The Group's focus on private banking and the good stock market trend increased income from securities and mutual funds as well as asset management. Commission income at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB amounted to EUR 3.9 M. Net income from securities trading for the Bank's own account was EUR 1.7 M (2.7). Valuation and realisation of value increases in interest rate hedging derivatives (the Bank of Åland does not apply hedge accounting) resulted in a positive effect of EUR 1.6 M. Net income from dealin g in the foreign exchange market decreased to EUR 0.3 M (0.5). Net income from financial assets available for sale was EUR 0.1 M (0.0), and net income from investment properties decreased to 0.1 M (0.2). Other operating income increased to EUR 4.2 M (3.4) as a consequence of higher income from the sale and development of information technology (IT) systems. The Group's total income increased by 15 percent to EUR 23.5 M (20.4). Expenses Staff costs rose by 69 per cent to EUR 12.9 M (7.6) as a consequence of the acquisition of Ålandsbanken Sverige AB, employee recruitments at Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd plus salary hikes as provided by collective agreements. Staff costs at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB amounted to EUR 4.4 M. Changes in the Bank's pension fund, Ålandsbanken Abp:s Pensionsstiftelse, according to the corridor approach reduced staff costs by EUR 0.1 M (0.0). Other administrative expenses (office, marketing, communications and IT) increased to EUR 3.8 M (2.9). Production for own use totalled EUR 1.0 M (0.2) and was related to expenses for computer software, which in accordance with IFRSs must be capitalised. Depreciation/amortisation increased to EUR 2.0 M (1.4). Other operating expenses amounted to EUR 3.6 M (2.0), of which EUR 1.8 M arose at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. The Group's total expenses rose by 54 per cent to EUR 21.3 M (13.8). Impairment losses on loans and other commitments Impairment losses on loans amounted to EUR 0.1 M (0.4). All of these were individually targeted impairment losses. Balance sheet total and off-balance sheet obligations At the end of the report period, the Group's balance sheet total was EUR 3,572 M (3,104). During the period, the Group issued debenture loan 1/2010 in the amount of EUR 11 M. Off-balance sheet obligations rose to EUR 296 M (257). ASsets under management The Group's managed assets rose to EUR 3,604 M (2,036) during the report period. Management of mutual fund units rose by 71 per cent to EUR 927 M (542), while assets under discretionary management increased by 71 per cent to EUR 1,408 M (822). Personnel Hours worked in the Group, recalculated to full-time equivalent positions, totalled 683 (492) positions, which represented an increase by 201 positions compared to the preceding year. The increase was due to the acquisition of Ålandsbanken Sverige AB as well as continued expansion of Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bank of Åland Group | Mar 31, 2010 | Mar 31, 2009 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bank of Åland Plc | 303 | 305 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ab Compass Card Oy Ltd | 6 | 6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd | 188 | 154 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Asset | 22 | 16 | | Management Ab | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Fondbolag Ab | 6 | 6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Equities Ab | 10 | 5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ålandsbanken Sverige Ab | 151 | 0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total number of full-time equivalent | 683 | 492 | | positions, recalculated from hours worked | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expense/income ratio Efficiency measured as expenses divided by income, including and excluding loan losses, respectively: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bank of Åland Group | Mar 31, 2010 | Mar 31, 2009 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Including loan losses | 0.91 | 0.69 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Excluding loan losses | 0.91 | 0.67 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital adequacy The Group is reporting capital adequacy in accordance with Pillar 1 in the Basel 2 regulations. The Group's total capital ratio at the end of March 2010 was 12.6 per cent. The capital requirement for credit ri sks has been calculated according to the standardised approach, and the capital requirement for operational risks according to the basic indicator approach in the Basel 2 regulations. Risk management under Pillar 2 will be reported in the Annual Report for 2009. The Bank of Åland will endeavour to begin applying an Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach in compliance with Basel 2 to calculate its capital adequacy requirement for credit risk, starting on January 1, 2011. An application requesting approval for the use of Basel 2's Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach for calculating the capital adequacy requirement for credit risk was submitted to the Finnish Financial Supervision Authority during the report period. Our assessment, according to the current regulations, is that this will substantially improve the Bank of Åland's capital adequacy.

The main reasons for the difference between the capital base and recognised equity capital are that subordinated liabilities may be counted in the capital base and that the proposed dividend may not be included in the capital base. Deposits Deposits from the public, including bonds and certificates of deposit issued, increased by 2 per cent to EUR 2,408 M (2,354), of which EUR 328 M consisted of deposits at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. Deposit accounts rose by 4 per cent to EUR 2,023 M (1,946). Bonds and certificates of deposit issued to the public decreased by 5 per cent to EUR 385 M (407). Lending The volume of lending to the public increased by 6 per cent and amounted to EUR 2,549 M (2,416). The volume of lending at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was EUR 204 M. Lending to households increased by 4 per cent to EUR 1,733 M (1,663). Households accounted for 68 (69) per cent of the Group's total lending volume. Lending to companies rose by 8 per cent to EUR 788M (727). Corporate governance report The Corporate Governance Report has been published in Swedish and Finnish on the Bank of Åland website, www.alandsbanken.fi. Annual general meeting The Annual General Meeting of the Bank of Åland on April 19, 2010 approved the proposal of the Board of Directors for a dividend to the shareholders of EUR 0.50 per share plus an anniversary dividend of EUR 0.20 per share. The dividend was paid on April 29, 2010. The Meeting unanimously elected Sven-Harry Boman, Kent Janér, Agneta Karlsson, Göran Lindholm, Leif Nordlund, Teppo T aberman and Anders Wiklöf as members of the Board of Directors. Important events after the close of the report period No important events have occurred after the close of the report period. Outlook for 2010 Most observers expect a continued gradual recovery in the general economy and in the financial system during 2010, but the economic situation will remain uncertain and there is thus great sensitivity. The Bank of Åland plans to implement a streamlining of its organisation. The Bank has convened co-determination negotiations in Finland concerning a need to reduce by 24 the number of positions on the Finnish mainland and in Group units in Åland. A review is being made of the cost structure at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB for the purpose of increasing efficiency while continuing to offer customers the same capacity and service. The Executive Team has identified potential efficiency improvements equivalent to an annual cost reduction of about EUR 3 M, of which half the potential is found at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. Nonrecurring costs associated with these measures are expected to total about EUR 0.5 M during 2 010. The Group's assessment of the outlook for 2010 is based on its assumptions about future developments in the fixed income and financial markets. However, general interest rates, the demand for lending, the trend of the capital and financial markets and the competitive situation, as well as the general economic situation are factors that the Group cannot influence. Based on this assessment and taking into account that the Group's earnings in 2009 included sizeable non-recurring income attributable to negative goodwill from the acquisition of Kaupthing Bank Sverige AB, earnings in 2010 are expected to be substantially lower than in 2009. The Group's operational earnings, excluding nonrecurring income, are expected to be at least at the same level as in 2009. Interim reports will be published as follows during 2010.
