    Sampo Bank Plc Interim Report 1.1. - 30.6.2007
             



SAMPO BANK GROUP IN JANUARY - JUNE 2007

Changes in Group structure

Danske Bank A/S bought all shares in Sampo Bank on 1 February 2007.
At the same time Baltic banks were moved directly to the
consolidation group of Danske Bank. The investment services companies
continued to be part of the Sampo Bank Group.  The business of
Mandatum & Co Ltd was sold to Danske Bank Helsinki branch on 2 May
2007. ZAO Danske Bank (formerly ZAO Profibank) in Russia continued as
subsidiary of Sampo Bank.

Sales profit and result of Baltic banks as well as Mandatum & Co Ltd
are presented in the income statement as discontinued operations. The
changes in Group structure have effect on the comparability of the
numbers.

Result

Sampo Bank Group's profit before taxes for January-June was EUR 582.0
million (176.3). The number contains the income from discontinued
operations, altogether EUR 460.6 million. Return on equity before tax
was 79.8 per cent (34.3). Cost-to-income-ratio was 28.3 per cent
(56.7).

Continuing operations' net interest income rose to EUR 183.2 million
(157.5) as growth in lending volumes continued. The net fee and
commission income grew to EUR 125.2 million (120.0).

Continuing operations' total operating costs amounted to EUR 254.6
million (194.2). Growth in costs (excluding impairment losses) was
EUR 33.6 million. This was largely due to integration costs.

Continuing operations' profit before taxes for January-June was EUR
121.4 million (162.0).

Balance sheet

Loans and advances increased by EUR 1,309.1 million from year-end
2006 and totalled EUR 22,868.6 million (21,559.5). Loans and advances
in Baltic banks totalled EUR 2,553.3 million in 2006.

Credit quality remained firm and net impairment on loans and
receivables was EUR 21.9 million (-4.7). Practice of impairment's
recognition was changed. One-off impairments of EUR 17.0 million were
booked
in March.

Deposits totalled EUR 11,680.1 million decreasing 7.0 per cent from
year-end 2006 (12,598.1). Deposits in Baltic banks totalled EUR
1,150.0 million in 2006.

Integration

Integration of Sampo Bank into Danske Bank goes ahead as planned. The
technical integration is intended to happen at Easter 2008. The
integration is expected to cost approximately EUR 200 million, of
which around EUR 70 million is estimated to occur in 2007.

Capital adequacy

Sampo Bank Group's capital adequacy ratio was 11.7 per cent and the
Tier 1 ratio was 9,2 per cent. The total capital included in capital
adequacy calculations amounted to EUR 1,903.7 million at the end of
June (2,123.9). The Group's risk-weighted assets totalled EUR
16,298.3 million (17,847.3). The Tier 1 does not include the profit
accumulated during the annual period.

Sampo Bank redeemed the Tier 2 debenture loan of EUR 150 million in
June.

Ratings

The ratings raised when the ownership of Sampo Bank plc was
transferred to Danske Bank on 1 February 2007. Moody's raised Sampo
Bank plc's A1 (long-term currency debt/deposit rating) to Aa2 with
stable outlook on 2 February 2007. Moody's changed its ratings
methodology during the spring, consequently Sampo Bank plc's senior
rating was first raised to Aaa on 23 February 2007 and on 10 April
2007 set to Aa1. Standard & Poor's raised Sampo Bank plc's ratings to
AA-/A-1+ with stable outlook on 7 February 2007.

Administration

After the acquisition of all shares of Sampo Bank plc by Danske Bank
A/S, Peter Straarup (chairman), Sven Lystbæk (vice chairman), Ilkka
Hallavo, Lars Stensgaard Mørch, Thomas Mitchell and Maarit Näkyvä
were elected as Board members in an extraordinary general meeting on
1 February 2007. The Board nominated Ilkka Hallavo as managing
director for the Bank on 1 February 2007 and Maarit Näkyvä as his
deputy.

The firm of authorised public accountants, Ernst & Young Oy, has
acted as Auditor for Sampo Bank plc with Kunto Pekkala, APA, as
responsible auditor.

Developments after the reporting period

The business of Mandatum Securities Ltd was sold to Danske Bank
Helsinki branch on 1 July 2007.

Outlook for the whole year

Sampo Bank Group's result for January-June includes extraordinary
items, especially the sales profit from Baltic banks. Because of this
the result for the whole year is expected to be exceptionally good.
Excluding these extraordinary items the operating profitability is
expected to remain good in 2007.

The cash flow statement reports cash flows during the period classified
by operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows are
reported by using the indirect method. Cash flows from operating
activities derive primarily from the principal revenue-producing
activities. Cash flows from investments in subsidiaries and associated
undertakings and those from investments in intangible assets and
property, plant and equipment are presented in investing activities.
Financing activities include cash flows resulting from changes in equity
and borrowings in order to conduct the business. Cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and balances with central banks and and
loans and advances to credit institutions repayable on demand.
