activity
January - September 2010
business environment
The short interest rates rose somewhat at the beginning of the third quarter but
are still at a low level. In this environment, Aktia's active management of
interest rate risk contributed greatly to the group net interest income and
result development.
The general revival of the Finnish economy as well as the low level of interest
rates resulted in clearly lower write-downs on credit compared to 2009. The OMX
Helsinki 25 index continued to improve strongly in the third quarter.
According to Statistics Finland Finnish consumers' confidence in the economy was
stronger in September than ever before. The consumer confidence indicator stood
at 23.0 in September, having been 11.7 one year ago.
Compared to last year, Finnish real estate prices were generally up by 7.8
(30.6.2010; 10.0) % and in the Helsinki region by 9.2 (30.6.2010; 13.6) %.
Inflation acclerated to 1.4 (30.6.2010; 0.9) % and unemployment decreased to 7.0
(30.6.2010; 8.8) % (Statistics Finland).
The long interest rates continued to decrease during the third quarter which
generated higher values on the fixed rate instruments in Aktia's investment
portfolios.
The worries for Southern European economies declined after the bank stress
tests, but the demands on yields remained at a high level. This had a negative
impact on the value of financial assets and caused somewhat higher costs of
refinancing.
The schedules of the new initiatives for regulating banking businesses are now
ready, but the contents of regulations are still under work. The results are
likely to be higher capital requirements, sharpened competition for deposits,
higher demands on long-term financing and eventually higher margins on credits.

profit for the period
The Group's operating profit improved by 73% to EUR 64.4 (37.2) million. The
Group profit amounted to EUR 47.9 (27.2) million.
Income
The Group's total income increased by 7% between January and September to EUR
187.4 (174.5) million.
Net interest income rose to EUR 114.4 (112.4) million. In the low interest rate
environment the managing of interest rate risk made a significant positive
contribution to the net interest income's persistance.
Both derivatives and fixed rate instruments are utilised by Aktia Bank to manage
interest rate risks. The derivatives and fixed rate instruments used by Aktia
Bank to limit its interest rate risk improved net interest income by EUR 45.7
(30.1) million.
Net commission income increased by 32% to EUR 42.1 (31.8) million. Commission
income from mutual funds, asset management and brokering increased by 42% to EUR
27.4 (19.3) million. Card and payment services commissions rose to EUR 10.4
(8.4) million.
Net income from life insurance amounted to EUR 9.6 (10.8) million. A lower
number of claims and last year's cost reductions measures improved Aktia
Non-Life Insurance's net income to EUR 17.4 (13.7) million. Net income from the
insurance businesses includes insurance premiums written, net income from
investment activities, insurance claims paid and the change in technical
provisions.
Other operating income was EUR 6.2 (3.0) million. This includes a sales gain of
divestment of Aktia Bank plc's minority holding in Esperi Care Oy. The bank
group's associated company Unicus Oy handled the transaction and divested also
its holding in Esperi Care. The transaction added a total of EUR 1.7 million to
the period's operating profit.
Net income from financial transactions was EUR -4.0 (1.8) million which mainly
consisted of sales losses from securities in PIGS countries.
Expenses
The Group's operating expenses in January - September rose by 3% to EUR 115.0
(111.5) million.
Higher reservations for the personnel fund and other result related payments
increased staff costs by 4% to EUR 59.9 (57.5) million. Other administration
expenses increased by 13% to EUR 35.9 (31.8) million of which the most part
consisted of costs for IT development and marketing.
Total depreciation and write-downs on tangible and intangible assets were
unchanged at EUR 5.4 (5.3) million.
Other operating expenses fell 19% to EUR 13.8 (17.1) million. Last year other
operating expenses included advisory fees and other expenses
in relation to the listing of Aktia plc.
Balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments
The Group's balance sheet total increased by 1% from year-end and amounted to
EUR 10,671 (31.12.2009; 10,556) million. The increase in the balance sheet total
is largely due to growth in both deposit and mortgage stocks.
borrowing
Aktia's liquidity was partly supported by a larger deposit stock from the public
and partly by Aktia Bank's and Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank's issues.
Total deposits from the public and public sector entities rose by 11% from
year-end to EUR 3,370 (3,029) million. A more active marketing boosted Aktia's
market share in deposits to 3.61 (3.35)%. Deposits from public sector entities
and credit institutions decreased, and lending from the central bank was
reduced.
In March 2010, Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc issued a covered bond of EUR
500 million with a fixed interest rate and five-year maturity. Outstanding Aktia
Bank certificates of deposit amounted to EUR 407 million at the end of the
period and bonds issued by the Group totalled EUR 2,469 million, which
represents an increase of EUR 16 million during 2010. During the
January-September, Aktia Bank issued new subordinated debts and index-linked
loans with a total value of EUR 55 million.
Aktia Bank issued other long-term funding, (Schuldscheindarlehen) worth EUR 80
million as a part of preparations for new regulations concerning banks and
insurance companies (Basel III) during the period.
lending
The Group's total lending to the public amounted to EUR 6,485 (6,061) million at
the end of the period, representing an increase of EUR 424 million. 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 198
million (4%) from the beginning of the year.
Loans to private households (including mortgages brokered by local savings and
cooperative banks) accounted for EUR 5,337 (4,924) million or 82.3% of the total
loan stock. The housing loan stock increased from the beginning of the year by
9% and totalled EUR 4,987 (4,598) million. Aktia's market share in housing loans
was unchanged at 4.27% year-on-year at the end of September.
Corporate lending accounted for 12.3% of Aktia's loan stock. Total corporate
lending amounted to EUR 797 (782) million at the end of the period.
During the period, loans granted to housing associations decreased by 1% to EUR
287 (289) million and stood for 4.4% of Aktia's total loan stock.
Interest-bearing financial assets available for sale were EUR 3,072 (3,277)
million. Of interest-bearing financial assets, EUR 669 million relates to the
insurance companies' investment portfolios and EUR 2,403 million mainly to the
banking business'liquidity portfolio. These securities can be used as collateral
in central bank or in transactions with binding repurchase terms, so called
repurchase agreements.
Technical provisions
Life insurance technical provisions amounted to EUR 843 (805) million, of which
EUR 254 (210) million were unit-linked.
At the end of September, total technical provisions of non-life insurance stood
at EUR 126 (119) million.
Equity and commitments
Aktia Group's equity amounted to EUR 529 (466) million at the end of the period.
The Group's fund at fair value amounted to EUR 64 (43) million and showed an
improvement of EUR 21 million since the beginning of the year.
Off-balance sheet commitments increased by EUR 94 million from the year-end and
amounted to EUR 670 (575) million. This increase was largely due to unused
credit facilities (loan promises and limits).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banking business
The banking business' contribution to the Group's operating profit amounted to
EUR 56.9 (36.3) million.
Operating income totalled EUR 139.5 (135.6) million. Net interest income was EUR
110.8 (108.1) million and net commission income increased by 32% totalling EUR
31.2 (23.7) million. The improvement derives mainly from a higher level of net
commission income from mutual funds and insurance.
Operating expenses amounted to EUR 73.6 (73.4) million, of which staff costs
accounted for EUR 28.1 (26.5) million.
The banking business' customer base increased by 9,336 private customers (+4%)
during January - September 2010. Sales activities are supported by the Aktia
Dialogue concept whereby customers' needs are mapped out and Aktia's whole
service portfolio is presented. During January - September, nearly 30,000
Dialogues were carried out, which is expected to increase sales in 2010.
The number of Internet agreements was up 7% from the beginning of the year and
amounted to 123,881.
Total savings by households increased by 11% from the beginning of the year to
EUR 3,464 (3,113) million. Of these, household deposits were EUR 2,638 (2,372)
million and household savings in mutual funds stood at EUR 826 (741) million.
Aktia's lending to private households, including the mortgages brokered by
Aktia, increased by 6% from the year-end to EUR 3,864 (3,658) million. Mortgage
loans brokered by Aktia amounted to EUR 1,558 (1,346) million. In addition, the
savings and local cooperative banks brokered mortgages amounting to EUR 1,516
(1,290) million.
Corporate banking's net interest income was EUR 7.0 (6.4) million which is 9%
higher year-on-year. Net commission income from corporate banking was up 11% to
EUR 2.0 (1.8) million year-on-year.
The income of the real estate agency business was somewhat higher than last
year's level, standing at EUR 5.8 (5.7) million.
Asset Management
The Asset management's contribution to the Group's operating profit amounted to
EUR 3.2 (0.5) million.
Managed assets continued to develop favourably during January - September 2010.
Aktia provides a wide and competitive range of services in the capital market
for both private individuals and institutions. The Asset Management segment
carries on to focus on private banking operations and institutional investors
this year.
Operating income, i.e. income after reversals to the Group's other units and
business partners, was EUR 15.1 (10.6) million. Operating expenses increased by
18% to EUR 11.9 (10.1) million, of which staff costs made up EUR 6.4 (5.6)
million. This is due to greater investment of resources in the private banking
business.
The volume of funds managed and brokered by Aktia was EUR 4,028 (3,786) million.
Aktia's market share of mutual funds was 6.8 (31.12.2009: 7.0)% at the end of
the period - this includes the share of brokered funds. The total market is
based on information from the Finnish Association of Mutual Funds.
The assets managed by Aktia Asset Management and Aktia Invest increased, partly
thanks to an upswing in the markets, and totalled EUR 6,658 (5,996) million.
Assets managed by Aktia Invest amounted to EUR 2,274 (2,140) million. The
customer assets of Private Banking totalled EUR 1,141 (926) million, increasing
23%.
Life Insurance
The life insurance's contribution to the Group's operating profit amounted to
EUR 5.3 (3.0) million.
Premiums written during January - September increased 32% and were EUR 70.7
(53.5) million. The growth derives mainly from unit-linked savings and
investment-linked insurance. The allocation service for mutual funds, Aktia
Profil, continued to show increasing volumes. Of the premium volume for savings
and investment-linked insurance and pension insurance, unit-linked insurance
accounted for 77.1 (65.7)%.
Claims paid amounted to EUR 58.6 (61.4) million. Surrenders have decreased to a
lower level than last year. The trend of increased pensions paid has continued
as the share of pension insurances reaching payment stage has increased.
Operating costs totalled EUR 9.6 (9.9) million. Cost-efficiency continued to be
good. The expense ratio stood at 95.0% compared to 101.5% for the year before.
The improved key figures derive from lower costs but also from an increase of
total expense loadings due to higher premium volumes and higher market value of
the insurance stock.
The return on the company's investments based on market value was 6.6 (4.6)%.
The derivatives used by the life insurance company to limit its interest rate
and currency risk improved operating profit by EUR 4.2 (0.4) million.
Technical provisions totalled EUR 843 (805) million, of which provisions for
unit-linked insurance policies represented EUR 254 (210) million and
interest-linked provisions EUR 588 (595) million.
The company's solvency ratio improved to 18.6% compared to 14.4% at year-end.
Non-Life Insurance
The contribution of the non-life insurance business to the Group's operating
profit was EUR 1.9 (-2.6) million.
Premiums written for Aktia Non-Life Insurance rose by approximately 4% on the
corresponding period last year. This increase is attributable to private
customers. Premiums written before the reinsurers' share were EUR 56.3 (54.3)
million. Premiums earned for the period after the reinsurers' share and change
in provisions for unearned premiums amounted to EUR 46.2 (45.5) million. Claims
incurred fell to EUR 33.4 (35.5) million.
Operating costs decreased on last year and amounted to EUR 14.7 (15.6) million.
The combined ratio in January - September 2010 was 104.8% compared to 112.3% the
previous year. The lower combined ratio is largely explained by lower frequency
of loss and lower staff costs.
The return on the company's investments based on market value was 7.9 (1.5)%.
Of the non-life insurance business' total technical provisions of EUR 118 (110)
million, provisions for outstanding claims stood at EUR 91 (89) million. The
market value of the company's investment portfolio was EUR 150 (135) million and
the company's risk carrying capacity was 84.6% compared to 72.4% at the end of
2009.
The integration of Aktia Non-Life Insurance's distribution channels into Aktia's
branch office network has continued to increase customer activity particularly
in the private customer sector.
Miscellaneous
In January - September 2010 the operating profit of the Miscellaneous segment
was EUR -3.2 (2.6) million.
common costs
In accordance with the “One Aktia” strategy the Group support functions have
been unified and integrated. The largest expenses consist of marketing and IT
costs. The integration process is continuing throughout 2010 and
Common costs were in total EUR 25.6 (25.7) million and were distributed as
follows: banking business EUR 19.9 (21.8) million, asset management EUR 2.8
(1.7) million, life insurance EUR 1.3 (1.0) million and non-life insurance EUR
1.6 (1.2) million.
Capital adequacy and
solvency
The Bank Group's capital adequacy amounted to 17.0% compared to 15.9% at the end
of 2009. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.4 (9.5)%. The operating result and the
liquidity portfolio's lower use of capital strengthened the capital adequacy.
The Bank Group includes Aktia Bank and Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank.
Aktia Bank plc's capital adequacy stood at 21.7% compared to 19.9% at the end of
2009. The Tier 1 ratio was 13.1 (11.7)%.
The life insurance company's solvency margin amounted to EUR 114.2 (86.3)
million, where the minimum requirement is EUR 34.3 (34.0) million. The solvency
ratio amounted to 18.6 (14.4)%.
The non-life insurance company's solvency margin amounted to EUR 24.4 (18.4)
million, where the minimum requirement is EUR 13.1 (13.1) million. The solvency
capital was EUR 51.3 (43.6) million and a risk carrying capacity of 84.6 (72.4)%
was reported.
Capital adequacy for the conglomerate amounted to 171.0 (157.4)%. The statutory
minimum stipulated in the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance
Conglomerates is 100%.
Write-downs of loan, guarantee and premium claims
Write-downs on credit were clearly lower than last year and stood at EUR 9.8
(26.3) million.
Write-downs on credit based on individual examination amounted to EUR -9.7
(30.9.2009; -26.3) million during January - September 2010. Recoveries and
reversals of previous write-downs came to EUR 0.7 (0.3) million so that the cost
effect on the profit for the period was EUR -9.1 (-25.9) million.
Of write-downs, EUR -9.0 (-23.5) million was accounted for by corporate loans,
which corresponds to 1.1 (3.0)% of the total corporate lending. Write-downs of
corporate loans amounted to EUR -1.0 (-8.2) million during the third quarter.
Write-downs of household loans amounted to EUR -0.7 (-2.1) million of which EUR
-0.3 (-0.5) million was accounted for by unsecured consumer loans. The review
period's write-downs of household loans were marginal of total lending to
households. Total write-downs amounted to 0.1 (0.4)% 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 (-7.4) million at the end of the period.
During the period, the non-life insurance company made write-downs for
outstanding premiums (credit losses) totalling EUR -0.7 (-0,4) million.
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.
Write-downs on financial assets during January - September 2010 was EUR -2.8
million, whereas these totalled EUR -22.3 million during the same period in
2009.

fund at fair value. Taking cash flow hedging for the Group into consideration,
the fund at fair value amounted to EUR 64.4 million after deferred tax compared
to EUR 43.3 million as at 31 December 2009.
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 32.2 (21.4) million.

Lending-related risks within banking
Credit stock maintained its good quality.
Credit stock increased in January - September 2010 by 7% or EUR 424 million,
totalling EUR 6,485 (6,061) million. As planned, this increase mainly occurred
within household financing through Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc and
households' share of the total credit stock amounted to EUR 5,337 (4,924)
million or 82.3% at the end of September, or 86.7% when combined with housing
associations. Of the loans to households, 86.3 (86.2)% are secured against
adequate real estate collateral in accordance with Basel 2.

Housing credit stock totalled EUR 4,987 (4,598) million, of which mortgages
granted by Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc made up EUR 2,895 (2,498)
million. In all, housing loans increased by 9% against year-end 2009, and the
growth derived mainly through Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank's lending where
the average balance in relation to collateral market value decreased to 56.7
(56.8)% compared to the corresponding period 2009.
The proportion of the total credit stock accounted for by corporate loans fell
as planned to 12.3 (12.9)% and totalled EUR 797 (782) million.
Lending to the public secured by collateral objects or unsecured within the
framework of the financing companies Aktia Corporate Finance and Aktia Card &
Finance totalled EUR 103.7 (84.8) million, representing 1.6% of total lending.
The increase derived mainly through Aktia Corporate Finance.
Loans with payments 1-30 days overdue decreased from year-end to 2.82 (2.97)% of
credit stock, including off-balance sheet guarantee commitments. Loans with
payments 31-89 days overdue increased somewhat to 0.77 (0.76)%, totalling EUR 51
million. Non-performing loans more than 90 days overdue, including claims on
bankrupt companies and loans for collection, totalled EUR 44 million,
corresponding to 0.67 (0.56)% of the entire credit stock plus bank guarantees.

The Group's financing and liquidity risks
The financing and liquidity risks are dealt with at corporate legal level, and
there are no financing commitments from the Bank Group (Aktia Bank plc and its
subsidiaries) to the insurance companies.
In the banking business, 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 refinancing
requirements using existing liquidity. At the end of the period, the Bank
Group's liquidity buffer was good and targets were clearly exceeded.
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. Any unforeseen significant need for liquidity is taken
care of through the investment portfolio (primarily bonds).
Within the non-life insurance business, liquidity risks are defined as the
availability of financing for paying out claims and depend on the number of
claims and their scale. Liquidity risks are managed through the inward flow of
cash plus an portfolio of bank deposits, investment certificates and government
bonds.
Counterparty risks
Counterparty risks within Group treasury
The banking business' liquidity portfolio, which comprises interest-bearing
securities stood at EUR 2,347 (2,615) million as at 30 September 2010.
Individual investment decisions are made in accordance with an investment plan
in place and are based on careful assessment of the counterparty. Counter-party
risks are limited by the requirement for a high external rating (a minimum
rating of A3 by Moody's Investor Service or equivalent), and limits are set for
maximum exposure per counterparty and asset category.
Of the financial assets available for sale, 63 (51)% were investments in covered
bonds, 22 (36)% were investments in banks, 10 (9)% were investments in
state-guaranteed financial senior bonds and approximately 5 (4)% were
investments in public sector entities and companies.
Counterparty risks in derivatives trading are managed through demands on
collateral (CSA = Credit Support Annex) limiting the open positions.

Of these financial assets, 1.1 (0.8)% did not meet the internal rating
requirements. As a result of a reduced credit rating, two security assets with a
total market value of EUR 7 million were no longer eligible for refinancing with
the central bank. Other securities that are not eligible for refinancing and are
unrated totalled EUR 58 million.
During the period, no write-downs were realised as a result of the issuer
announcing its inability to pay whereas the write-downs during the same period
last year amounted to EUR -0.4 million.
Counterparty risks in the life
insurance business
Fixed income assets amounted to EUR 586 (570) million at the end of the period
which corresponds to 82 (82)% of investments. Counterparty risks arising in
connection with the life insurance company's investments are managed by the
requirement for a high-class external rating of at least rating class A3 from
Moody's Investors Service for banks and states, and “investment grade” external
rating (at least Ba3) for companies, and by rules concerning the maximal
exposure for each counterparty and asset category.
At the end of September 2010, 38 (47)% of direct interest rate investments were
receivables from public sector entities, 24 (23)% were corporate bonds and 38
(30)% were receivables from banks and covered bonds.
The net change in value amongst interest-rate instruments earlier written down
and booked was EUR 0.1 million. During the period, no write-downs were realised
as a result of the issuer's credit rating being lowered. The write-down of EUR
2.9 million derived from indirect real estate holdings.

Market valuation of
financial assets
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 in
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.
Structural interest rate risk in 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. Hedging derivative instruments and investments within the
liquidity portfolio are utilised to reduce the volatility in net interest
income.
According to the strategy for interest rate risk management, a parallel upward
or downward shift in the interest rate curve of one percentage point shall not
influence estimated net interest income of the banking business for the next 12
months by more than 7%, and 8% for the following year. At the end of the period,
the set targets were met. The growth in the deposit stock and the longer
maturities of deposits diminishes net interest income's sensitivity to an upward
shift in the short interest rate curve.
Market value interest rate risk in the banking business
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.
The net change in the fund at fair value, relating to market value interest rate
risk and credit and spread risk, posted during the period was negative and
totalled EUR -8.2 after the deduction of deferred tax. At the end of September
2010, the valuation difference in interest-bearing securities was positive at
EUR 5.1 (13.3) million.
Other market risks in the banking business and parent company
No equity trading or investments in real estate are carried out by the banking
business or in the parent company.
At the end of the period, real estate assets totalled EUR 3.4 (3.4) million.
Investments in shares which are necessary or strategic to the business totalled
EUR 26.4 (30.6) million. At the end of the period, the fund at fair value
related to the above strategic share investments amounted to EUR -0.2 (3.7)
million after the deduction of deferred tax.
Investment risks in the life insurance business
The policyholder bears the investment risk of 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 technical provisions
for unit-linked insurance policies.
The investment portfolio covering 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
-2.9 (30.9.2009; -6.9) million. The fund at fair value attributable to shares
posted during the period totalled EUR 2.6 (0.2) million after the deduction of
deferred tax.
The net change in value of the fund at fair value with regard to
interest-bearing securities was EUR 15.1 million after the deduction of deferred
tax. At the end of September, the valuation difference of interest-bearing
securities stood at EUR 20.7 (5.6) million.

Underwriting risks in the life insurance business
Underwriting risks occur where future claim payments become higher than
expected. Taking into account the provision of reinsurance cover, the insurance
business has been relatively stable. The provision of reinsurance cover for
different insurance portfolios reduces the volatility of financial results and
eliminates risks that could affect the company's future business opportunities.
Investment risks in the non-life
insurance business
The investment portfolio covering total technical provisions is measured on an
ongoing basis at market value. The investment plan is to synchronise investments
and cash flow of technical provisions. The investment plan does not include
equity investments.
The net change posted in value of the fund at fair value with regard to
interest-bearing securities was EUR 4.4 million after the deduction of deferred
tax. At the end of September, the valuation difference of interest-bearing
securities stood at EUR 3.5 (-0.8) million.

Underwriting risks in the non-life insurance business
Underwriting risks occur where future claim payments become higher than
expected. Taking into account the provision of reinsurance cover, the insurance
business has been relatively stable. The provision of reinsurance cover for
different insurance portfolios reduces the volatility of financial results and
eliminates risks that could affect the company's future business opportunities.
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 events regarded as operational risks causing significant financial losses
occurred in January - September 2010.
Events concerning close relations
Close relations refers to Aktia plc's key persons in management positions, close
family members and companies that are under dominating influence of a key person
in management position. The group's key persons refer to Aktia plc's Members of
the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Directors, Managing Director and
Deputy Managing Director.
Aktia plc received an extraordinary dividend of EUR 30.0 million from Aktia Bank
plc. The funds were reinvested to Aktia Bank plc through a capital loan.
No significant changes concerning close relations occurred during the period.
Events during the reporting period
According to the decision taken at the Annual General Meeting, Aktia donated
during the third quarter a total of EUR 300,000 to various universities in its
business areas.
Events after the end of the reporting period
Aktia plc has on 27 October 2010 sold its holding in Magnus Nyman AFM Ab. The
transaction has no impact Aktia Group's result.
Personnel
The average number of full-time employees during the period was 1,186
(31.12.2009; 1,213).
Personnel fund and management's incentive programme for 2010
Aktia Abp's Board of Directors has confirmed the following calculation method
for the profit sharing provision to the personnel fund as of 2010. The profit
sharing provision is based on 10% of the Group operating profit exceeding EUR 30
million. The profit sharing provision cannot exceed EUR 3 million. The CEO and
other members of the Group's Executive Committee are also members of the Group's
personnel fund.
A bonus system has been set up for the CEO and the other members of the Group's
Executive Committee which is based on the Group's financial results and annually
defined targets at company and individual level. The individual bonus to the
Executive Committee members cannot exceed the equivalent of three months' salary
each year.
For 2010, the Executive Committee is also included in a share-based incentive
scheme that offers the members of the Executive Committee the opportunity to
acquire a maximum of 55,833 shares. The outcome is dependent on separate
targets, the performance conditions of which have been decided on by the Board
of Directors.
Aktia Group's renumeration statement has been published on Aktia plc's website.

Outlook and risks for 2010 (unchanged)
Outlook
Aktia expects operating profit for 2010 to exceed the level in 2009 and
write-downs on credit to remain clearly lower than last year.
risks
In 2010, Aktia's focus will be on strengthening customer relations, increasing
sales, developing Internet services, and managing costs, risks and capital in
order to strengthen profitability. Aktia is endeavouring to grow above the
market, particularly in the sectors of retail customers and small companies.
Aktia's financial results are affected by many factors, of which the most
important 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, asset
management and real estate agency services.
Change in interest rate level, yield curves and credit margins are hard to
predict and can affect Aktia's interest rate margins and therefore
profitability. Aktia pursuing effective management of interest rate risks.
Any future write-downs of loans in Aktia's loan portfolio could be due to many
factors, the most important of which are the general economic situation, the
interest rate level, the level of unemployment and changes in house prices.
Aktia expects write-downs on credit to be clearly lower in 2010 than in 2009.
The availability of liquidity on the money markets is important for Aktia's
refinancing activities. Like other banks, Aktia relies on deposits from
households in order to service some of its liquidity needs.
The market value of Aktia's financial 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 uncertainty concerning future
capital requirements. A change in capital requirements could actualise both
capitalisation needs and need for changes in Aktia Group's structure.

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 - 30 September 2010 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 2009.
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 2009 unless specified
otherwise. Balance sheet items in the Report by the Board of Directors are
mainly given in EUR million without decimals.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 30 September 2010 was approved by
the Board of Directors on 4 November 2010.
Aktia plc's financial statements and interim reports are available on Aktia's
website www.aktia.fi.
Important accounting principles
In preparing this interim report the Group has followed the accounting
principles applicable to the annual report of 31 December 2009.
New accounting standards apply from 2010
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (revised)
With effect from 1 January 2010, business combinations are reported in
accordance with the revised standard IFRS 3. From 1 January 2010 onwards,
company acquisitions will involve greater volatility in the consolidated income
statement and in the Group's equity. The Group has not had any company
acquisitions during the first nine months of 2010.
IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised)
This revised standard deals with accounting principles relating to minority
interests. The application of this standard has not had any impact on the
Group's result or financial position during the first nine months of 2010.
Note 2 Segment reporting
Segment
From 1 January 2009, the reported segments are Banking Business, Asset
Management, Life Insurance, Non-Life Insurance and Miscellaneous.
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 Ab, 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 as well as Aktia Invest Ltd. 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 business
areas. This business area also includes Vasp-Invest Ab.
Allocation principles and group eliminations
Net interest income from those units included in the banking business and asset
management segments contain 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 hedging measures for
which management has issued authority. The costs of central support functions
are allocated to the segments in accordance with resource use, defined projects
and according to different allocation rules.
Until further notice, Aktia plc and Aktia Bank plc are not allocating equity to
the different segments. The miscellaneous segment 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 segment. Internal
Group transactions between legal entities in different segments are included in
the eliminations.
The share of profits in associated companies, acquisition eliminations, the
minority interest's share and other Group adjustments are included in
eliminations.Pricing between the segments is based on market prices.

In its capital adequacy measurement to determine the exposure's risk weight,
Aktia applies credit ratings by Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's
to receivables from central governments and central banks, credit institutions,
investment firms and covered bonds. The risk weight for bank exposures and bonds
secured by real estate is determined by the credit rating of the country where
the institution is located.

Board of Directors
To the Board of Directors of Aktia p.l.c.
REVIEW REPORT ON THE INTERIM REPORT OF AKTIA P.L.C. AS OF 30.9.2010
introduction
We have reviewed the balance sheet as of 30.9.2010, the income statement, the
statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Aktia p.l.c. for
the nine-month period then ended, as well as a sum-mary 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 re-quest 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 2010 and the result of its operations and
cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, in accordance with the
International Fi-nancial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and
other applicable rules and regulations governing interim financial reporting
preparation in Finland.
