<p align="justify">According to preliminary un-audited data AB DnB NORD Bankas earned a pre-tax operating profit before provisions of LTL 70.4 million (EUR 20.4 million) in the first six months of 2010, however taking into account the impact of sluggish domestic demand and depressed labor market on individual and corporate customers, the bank continued to pursue a conservative customer risk valuation and set aside LTL 200,0 million (EUR 57.9 million) in provisions in the first half of 2010. As a result AB DnB NORD Bankas recorded LTL 129.6 million (EUR 37.5 million) pre-tax losses for the first six months of 2010. <br />&nbsp;<br />In the same period of 2009 AB DnB NORD Bankas recorded LTL 165.6 million (EUR 47.96 million) pre-tax losses after setting aside LTL 294.6 million ( EUR 85.3 million) for special provisions. <br />&nbsp;<br />AB DnB NORD Bankas results are calculated in accordance to International Financial Reporting Standards. </p>]]></description>

<p>According to preliminary unaudited data AB DnB NORD Bankas earned a pre-tax operating profit before provisions of LTL 33.2 million (EUR 9.6 million) in the first three months of 2010. Taking into account constrains in domestic consumption and still depressed labour market as well as evaluating the fact that the economic downturn typically affects the quality of the loan portfolio with a time lag, the bank continued to pursue a conservative customer risk valuation approach and set aside LTL 86.3 million (EUR 25.0 million) in provisions in the first quarter of the year. As a result AB DnB NORD Bankas recorded LTL 53.1 million ( EUR 15.4 million) net loss for the first quarter of the year. To ensure further balanced performance, AB DnB NORD Bankas‘ reserve capital was increased by LTL 69.1 million (EUR 20 million) in the first quarter of the year. Due to proper risk management AB DnB NORD Bankas met all prudential requirements of the Bank of Lithuania. </p>
<p>In the fourth quarter of 2009 AB DnB NORD Bankas‘ net loss was LTL 165.4 million (EUR 48.0 million) after making LTL 194 ( EUR 56.2 million) in special provisions. </p>
<p>AB DnB NORD Bankas results are calculated in accordance to International Financial Accounting Standards.</p>]]></description>

Due to decreased deferred tax asset amount that was changed after reviewing assumptions for its recognition, the approved Bank‘s net loss of LTL 402.6 million (EUR 116,6 million) for the full year 2009 differs from the preliminary net loss of LTL 382.6 million (EUR 110.8 million) reported on 11 February 2010. The approved LTL 431.4 milion (EUR 124.9 million ) pre-tax loss of the Bank for the full year 2009 is unchanged from the previously reported preliminary data.</p>

<p>In the severe economic environment characterized by a sharp decline of the country's gross domestic product, increased number of corporate bankruptcies that negatively affected labor market and disposable household incomes, AB DnB NORD Bankas, company code 112029270, VAT payer code LT120292716, registered office at J. Basanavičiaus St. 26, Vilnius, the data about the company is collected and stored at the Register of Legal Entities earned a pre-tax operating profit before provisions of LTL 253.3 million (EUR 73.4 million) in full year 2009, according to preliminary data calculated in accordance to International Financial Reporting Standards. With customer risks remaining high throughout the year, AB DnB NORD Bankas pursued conservative risk valuation policy and set aside LTL 684.7 million (EUR 198.3 million) in special provisions in 2009. As a result AB DnB NORD Bankas recorded a LTL 382.6 million (EUR 110.8 million) net loss in full year 2009. </p>
<p>AB DnB NORD Bankas pre-tax operating profit before provisions was LTL 179 million (EUR 51,8 million) in 2008 and its net profit was LTL 70.7 million (EUR 20.5 million) in that period.<br />&nbsp;<br />To ensure balanced performance of the bank in the adverse economic environment, AB DnB NORD Bankas share capital has been increased to LTL 656.7 million (EUR 190.2 million) and the bank's largest shareholder Bank DnB NORD A/S invested LTL 189.9 million (EUR 55 million) to the bank's reserve capital in 2009. AB DnB NORD Bankas met all prudential requirements of Bank of Lithuania and maintained sound capital and liquidity positions throughout 2009. </p>
<p>“With customer risks remaining high due to severe economic contraction we concentrated on credit risk management establishing the structures and processes needed to minimize the risks and intense credit monitoring and restructuring efforts brought about some stabilization in the bank's mortgage credit and leasing portfolios. The focus on operating efficiency through streamlining measures, strict cost control and the ability to exploit emerging business opportunities in the recession-stricken economy helped us to sustain growing income trend that eased the negative impact of the increased risk costs on the full year 2009 result. I am particularly pleased that our efforts to continue building up long-term relationships resulted in sustained growth of number of the individual and corporate customers who increasingly choose us as their home bank,” said Werner Schilli, president and the chairman of the management board of AB DnB NORD Bankas. </p>
<p>Supported by particularly strong commission income from intermediation in trading with securities and derivatives and foreign currency, AB DnB NORD Bankas total income rose 15.9 percent year-on-year to LTL 431.4 million (EUR 124.9 million) in 2009. Through streamlining measures the bank's operating expenses were reduced 10.0 percent year-on-year to LTL 161.0 (EUR 46.4 million) million.

<p align="justify">According to preliminary data AB DnB NORD Bankas, company code 112029270, VAT payer code LT120292716, registered office at J. Basanavičiaus St. 26, Vilnius, the data is collected and stored at the Register of Legal Entities, earned a pre-tax operating profit before provisions of LTL 129 million (EUR 37.4 million) in the first six months of 2009, a 37.1 percent rise compared to the same period a year ago. Taking into account a negative impact of a sharp macro economic downturn on Lithuania's real economy, the bank continued to pursue a conservative customer risk valuation and set aside LTL 189 million (EUR 54.7 million) in provisions in the second quarter of 2009 alone. As a result AB DnB NORD Bankas recorded LTL 136.4 million (EUR 39.5 million) loss for the first six months of 2009. To ensure the bank's balanced performance in the recession affected economy, the bank's shareholders invested LTL 102 million (EUR 29.5 million) and fully subscribed to the new share issue worth LTL 71.4 million (EUR 20.7 million) during the first six months of the year. <br />&nbsp;<br />AB DnB NORD Bankas pre-tax operating profit before provisions was LTL 94.1 million (EUR 27.3 million) in the first six months of 2008 and its net profit was LTL 68.6 million (EUR 19.9 million) in that period. <br />&nbsp;<br />„The bank's financial result mirrors troubled macro economic developments in Lithuania that we offset somewhat through growth of the bank's income, tight spending control, constant efforts to streamline the bank's business lines and further improvement of operating efficiency,” said Werner Schilli, president and the chairman of the management board of AB DnB NORD Bankas. <br />&nbsp;<br />AB DnB NORD Bankas first half 2009 total income rose 13.6 percent year-on-year to 220.9 million (EUR 64.0 million) while its operating expenses were reduced 10.9 percent year-on-year to LTL 83.5 million (EUR 24.2 million). Constant focus on increasing operating efficiency helped the bank to improve its cost income ratio to 39.5 percent, compared to 49.7 percent in the same period a year ago. The bulk of provisions, that totaled LTL 294.6 million (EUR 85.3 million) in the first six months of the year, were set aside on loans extended to customers operating in real estate development, construction and transport sectors. <br />&nbsp;<br />In the adverse economic environment characterized by increasing number of corporate bankruptcies that also negatively affected labor market and household income, the backing of our strong shareholders and their long-term commitment to the Lithuanian market helped the bank to maintain strong capital and liquidity positions. In the first six months of the year the bank's shareholders reinvested the 2008 profit, injected EUR 10 million (LTL 34.5 million) to the bank's reserve capital and fully subscribed to the new share issue worth LTL 71.4 million (EUR 20.7 million). The payment for the new share issue was transferred to AB DnB NORD Bankas capital account on 7 July 2009. AB DnB NORD Bankas met all prudential requirements of the Bank of Lithuania.</p>]]></description>

Constant focus on operating efficiency, enhanced attention to risk management and efforts to keep costs in control helped to offset somewhat the effects of the country's slowing economic growth on the full year financial result that in the fourth quarter of 2008 was negatively affected by higher impairment and other provision expenses mostly in real estate development and transport sectors. <br /></p>]]></description>
