4 Report of the Directors Summary of results for the first half-year 2013 The comparative figures in parentheses are for the first half of Profit after tax of NOK 111 million (NOK 66 million) Profit after tax of core business totalling NOK 113 million (NOK 99 million) Cost-income ratio of 32.0 per cent (53.1 per cent) Return on equity after tax of 6.7 per cent (4.2 per cent) Return on equity after tax of core business at 6.7 per cent (6.3 per cent) Growth in lending in managed portfolio of NOK million in the past 12 months (NOK million) The margin on loans measured against 3 month NIBOR has increased by 50 basis points in 2013 to 2.33 per cent (1.83 per cent). The levy payable to the Norwegian Banks Guarantee Fund totalled NOK 9 million for first-half 2013 (NOK 0 million) Impairment losses on loans and advances of NOK 72 million (NOK 23 million) Capital adequacy ratio of 14.3 per cent (15.1 per cent) Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.0 per cent (12.2 per cent) Core tier 1 capital ratio of 10.2 per cent (10.3 per cent) Highlights of First-Half 2013 The comparative figures in parentheses are for the first half of For the first half of 2013 the BN Bank Group posted a profit after tax of NOK 111 million (NOK 66 million). Increased margins and a decrease in operating expenditure contributed positively to the result, while impairment losses on loans and the levy paid to the Norwegian Banks Guarantee Fund contributed negatively. The Bank s core business (the result of the corporate and the retail banking activity) saw an increase in post-tax profit of NOK 14 million, up from NOK 99 million for first-half 2012 to NOK 113 million for the first six months of Total income for first-half 2013 was NOK 334 million (NOK 243 million). An improvement in margins on loans is the main reason for the change compared with the first half of Operating expense for first-half 2013 was NOK 107 million (NOK 129 million). The decrease in expenditure compared with first-half 2012 is attributable to a focus on cost-effective operations and cost leadership. The cost-income ratio for first-half 2013 was 32 per cent (53 per cent). Net impairment losses on loans and guarantees totalled NOK 72 million (NOK 23 million), including NOK 1 million recognised as income in the Guarantee Portfolio. Non-performing loans as at 30 June 2013 were 2.48 per cent of gross lending in the Group and the Guarantee Portfolio (1.83 per cent). The change is attributable to an increase in non-performing corporate loans. Total lending has grown by NOK 2.6 billion, or 6 per cent, in the past 12 months. Business lending has seen an increase of NOK 2.5 billion, or 8 per cent growth, in the past 12 months. The volume of retail lending has increased by NOK 1.3 billion, or 10 per cent, in the same period. Loans to SpareBank 1 SMN were redeemed in their entirety in March 2013, which is equal to a reduction of NOK 1.2 billion in the past 12 months. During the first half of 2013, business lending and retail lending grew by a total of, respectively, NOK 431 million, or 1.3 per cent, and NOK 762 million, or 5.3 per cent. Deposits have increased by NOK 0.6 billion in the past 12 months, equal to 3.8 per cent growth. The deposit-to-loan ratio was 50.8 per cent at the end of the first half of 2013, an increase of 0.3 percentage points on the past 12 months. During first-half 2013 deposits fell by NOK 550 million, or 3.3 per cent. In the first half of 2013, BN Bank issued certificates and bonds in the Norwegian bonds market for a total of NOK 4.4 billion. In the past 12 months, loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt and SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt have increased by NOK 1.1 billion and NOK 0.4 billion respectively. Altogether, the Bank has transferred 32 per cent of business loans and 44 per cent of residential mortgage loans to these two companies. The Bank has thus transferred 35 per cent of its total loan portfolio to the SpareBank 1 consortium s covered bonds companies. BN Bank s capital adequacy ratio, tier 1 capital ratio and core tier 1 capital ratio are as follows: FIGURES AS % Capital adequacy ratio Tier 1 capital ratio Core tier 1 capital ratio The Board of Directors has determined a capital plan for BN Bank with a target of a core tier 1 capital ratio of 10.5 per cent by the end of 2013 and 12.5 per cent by the end of See Note 15 for further details concerning the capital adequacy ratio and solvency. BN Bank had total assets of NOK 40.8 billion as at 30 June 2013 (NOK 38.6 billion). Including loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and Spare- Bank 1 Næringskreditt, total assets were NOK 58.4 billion (NOK 54.5 billion) at the end of June. BN Bank has previously sold its portfolio in Ålesund to SpareBank 1 SMN. BN Bank provides guarantees for 60 per cent of the credit risk for parts of this portfolio (known as the Guarantee Portfolio ). As at 30 June 2013 the Guarantee Portfolio stood at NOK 565 million, of which BN Bank is guaranteeing NOK 343 million. This was 1.1 per cent of the Bank s gross lending at the end of first-half Write-downs in the portfolio totalled NOK 118 million as at 30 June

5 In March 2013, the Norwegian Supreme Court passed judgment in the socalled Røeggen case. The Norwegian Financial Services Complaints Board has in that connection requested all the banks involved, including BN Bank, to reassess the complaints against them that have been brought before the Board, in the light of the Supreme Court judgment. BN Bank has found no grounds for changing its standpoint and still takes the view that the cases the Bank is involved in are not comparable with the Røeggen case. As a result of this, no provision was made relating to structured savings products in the first half of Accounting policies BN Bank presents its consolidated interim financial statements in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). See Note 1 for more information. The first-half interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the BN Bank Group s assets and liabilities, financial position and performance. The interim financial statements are based on the assumption that the entity is a going concern. Profit performance for Q The comparative figures in parentheses are for Q For the second quarter of 2013, BN Bank reported a post-tax profit of NOK 81 million (NOK 30 million), producing a return on equity of 9.7 per cent (3.7 per cent). An improvement in margins on loans, a reduction in operating expenditure and lower impairment losses are the main reason for the change compared with first-quarter Income Total income for the second quarter of 2013 was NOK 185 million (NOK 150 million). NOKm Q Q CHANGE Total income Margins and volumes, lending and deposits 22 Increase in commission, covered bonds companies 11 Dividend, covered bonds companies 7 Charges/fees -6 Other 1 Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 totalled NOK 104 million (NOK 87 million). Other operating income for the second quarter totalled NOK 65 million (NOK 51 million), an increase largely attributable to BN Bank having improved its margins in both corporate and retail lending. This affects both the net interest margin and other operating income through commission received from SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt and SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt. Altogether, commission received from SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt and SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt in the second quarter totalled NOK 62 million (NOK 48 million). Operating expense Second-quarter operating expense was NOK 52 million (NOK 56 million). The change is attributable to a focus on cost-effective operations and cost leadership, and is in line with the Bank s objective to become one of Norway s most cost-effective banks. The cost-income ratio in the second quarter of 2013 was 28 per cent (37 per cent). Impairment losses and non-performing loans In the second quarter of 2013, NOK 20 million was recognised as expense on impairment losses on loans (NOK 52 million). Losses are chiefly related to corporate loans. Impairment losses on loans in the second quarter of 2013 comprised NOK 21 million in corporate loans, NOK 0 million in retail loans and NOK 1 million recognised as income in the Guarantee Portfolio. Individual and collective impairment losses on loans in second-quarter 2013 were as follows: NOK MILLION INDIVIDUAL GROUP Corporate 12 9 Retail 0 0 Guarantee Portfolio 5-6 Non-performing and doubtful loans, less individual write-downs, totalled NOK million (NOK 997 million) at the end of second-quarter 2013, which is 3.14 per cent (3.02 per cent) of gross lending in the Group and the Guarantee Portfolio. See Note 7 for more information. Loan loss provisions in the core business as at 30 June 2013 totalled NOK 193 million. Of this figure, individual write-downs account for NOK 119 million and collective write-downs NOK 74 million. Total loan loss provisions at the end of second-quarter 2013 were as follows: LOAN LOSS PROVISIONS (NOKm) % OF GROSS LENDING GROUP Corporate Retail In addition, provision of NOK 118 million has been made as a financial loss guarantee relating to the Guarantee Portfolio. This is 35 per cent of the guaranteed amount. 5

6 Total assets BN Bank s total assets stood at NOK 40.8 billion at the end of the second quarter 2013, which is an increase of NOK 2.2 billion on the past 12 months. Growth in lending and deposits Gross managed lending 1 has risen by NOK 2.7 billion, or 6 per cent, in the past 12 months. Gross managed loans totalled NOK 49.8 billion at the end of second-quarter NOKm Gross lending Change in past 12 months Funding and liquidity The SpareBank 1 consortium s covered bonds companies are one of BN Bank s most important sources of finance. The Bank has transferred loans to these companies to the value of NOK 17.5 billion as at 30 June To date in 2013, BN Bank has issued certificates and bonds in the Norwegian bond market for a total of NOK 4.4 billion. The Bank s liquidity portfolio was NOK 6.5 billion at the end of secondquarter BN Bank has a conservative liquidity strategy, and the Bank s target is to have at all times sufficient liquid funds to manage without accessing any new external funding for a period of 12 months. At the end of the second quarter this target had been met. Gross managed lending had the following segmental exposure as at 30 June 2013: NOKm Retail Corporate Loans to SpareBank 1 SMN Corporate lending grew in the past 12 months by NOK 2.6 billion, or 8 per cent, while growth in retail lending in the past 12 months was NOK 1.3 billion, or 10 per cent. At the end of second-quarter 2013 a loan portfolio of NOK 10.9 billion had been transferred to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt and a loan portfolio of NOK 6.6 billion to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt. Customer deposits have increased by NOK 0.6 billion in the past 12 months. Total deposits stood at NOK 16.4 billion at the end of second-quarter The deposit-to-loan ratio at the end of second-quarter 2013 was 50.8 per cent, which is a 0.3 percentage point increase in the past 12 months. Margins The comparative figures in parentheses are for the first half of 2012 and all figures are measured against an average of 3 month NIBOR in the same period. BN Bank has improved its margins in both corporate and retail lending in the first half of The improvement is attributable to both a falling NIBOR level and changes in interest rates on loans. The Bank s total margin on loans for first-half 2013 was 2.33 per cent (1.83 per cent). The margin for retail lending was 2.13 per cent (1.51 per cent), while the margin for corporate lending was 2.48 per cent (1.89 per cent). The Bank s deposit margin for the first half of 2013 was minus 1.17 per cent (minus 0.57 per cent). 1 Gross managed lending is the total of corporate and retail lending in BN Bank, SpareBank 1 Subsidiaries The BN Bank Group comprises the bank BN Bank ASA and the credit institutions Bolig- og Næringskreditt AS (BNkreditt) and BN Boligkreditt AS (BN Boligkreditt). The Group also includes the real estate company Collection Eiendom AS. BNkreditt and BN Boligkreditt present separate financial statements in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Collection Eiendom presents its financial statements in compliance with NGAAP. See Note 1 for more information. Bolig- og Næringskreditt AS (BNkreditt) BNkreditt provides low-risk mortgage loans on commercial real estate. At the end of the second quarter of 2013 the company had a gross loan portfolio totalling NOK 18.0 billion, compared with NOK 18.5 billion as at 30 June A loan portfolio for NOK 10.9 billion had been transferred to SpareBank1 Næringskreditt as at 30 June BNkreditt posted a profit after tax of NOK 38 million for the first half-year to 30 June 2013, compared with a post-tax profit of NOK 41 million for the same period of Profits were pulled down by impairment losses on loans, although increased margins on lending and increased commission on loans transferred to Sparebank I Næringskreditt helped boost earnings. Impairment losses on loans totalled NOK 76 million for the first half of 2013, compared with NOK 6 million for first-half Collective write-downs were up by NOK 9 million for first-half 2013 and totalled NOK 45 million, which is 0.25 per cent of gross lending in the company as at 30 June BNkreditt had NOK 3.4 billion in bond debt outstanding as at 30 June 2013, compared with NOK 4.1 billion as at 30 June BN Bank has provided guarantees that BNkreditt will have a minimum capital adequacy ratio and junior financing of 20 per cent. BNkreditt s capital adequacy ratio as at 30 June 2013 was 16.0 per cent (18.3 per cent), while the tier 1 capital ratio and core tier 1 capital ratio were 13.6 per cent (15.5 and 14.l2 per cent). The amount BN Bank is ceding precedence for in relation to guarantees was NOK 751 million as at 30 June Næringskreditt, SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt an loans to SpareBank 1 SMN. 6

7 BN Boligkreditt AS BN Boligkreditt was BN Bank s credit institution for issuance of covered bonds. As at 31 December 2012 all borrowings and lending had been transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and BN Boligkreditt is now being wound up. The company posted a post-tax profit of NOK 3 million for the first half-year to 30 June 2013 (NOK 6 million). Collection Eiendom AS Collection Eiendom AS was established in 2010 for the purpose of owning and managing repossessed properties. Collection Eiendom posted a zero result after tax for the first half of 2013, the same result as for first-half Outlook While the main elements of BN Bank s business strategy remain fixed, stricter regulatory requirements in relation to maintaining solvency will give rise to lower growth and there will be a need to boost earnings in the time ahead. The Bank increased interest rates for both business and retail customers in the second quarter of 2013, and the full effect of the change will be felt in the third quarter of Lower costs will also enable BN Bank to improve its profits. The cost base was reduced in the first half of 2013 and the Board of Directors expects the cost-cutting programme for operating expenditure to help bring down annual costs considerably in BN Bank has adopted a long-term target to achieve a core tier 1 capital ratio of 12.5 per cent by the end of In order to satisfy future regulatory capital requirements, the Bank has initiated a number of different measures. The most important are the introduction of the Advanced Internal Ratings-based (IRB) approach, adjustment of lending volumes and margins, and retainment of profits. The global economy, particularly in Western countries, is expected to improve in the second half of 2013 and into Growth in Norway looks to be lower than in 2012, but may be affected either way depending on the outcome otherwise in the world. Even if some Norwegian industries are seeing weaker demand from our most important trading partners, the level of activity still remains high in the Norwegian economy in general. Overall this means that the Bank s customers are still well able to service their loans and there is good demand for the Bank s products.

13 GROUP: Income Statement Balance Sheet Change in Equity Cash Flow Notes NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Q2 interim consolidated financial statements for the period 1 April to 30 June 2013 have been prepared in compliance with IFRS, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. A description of the accounting policies on which the financial statements are based is provided in the Annual Report for 2012, with the following exceptions: Pensions With effect from 1 January 2013, BN Bank has applied IAS 19 Employee Benefits and has changed the basis for calculating pension liabilities and pension costs. BN Bank has previously used the corridor method to account for unamortised estimate variances. The corridor method is no longer permitted and according to the revised standard IAS 19R, all estimate variances shall be recognised in a Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Estimate variances as at 1 January 2012 which totalled NOK 29.8 million have been reset. The pension liability increased correspondingly as of 1 January 2012, while the equity was reduced by NOK 21.5 million after tax. Previously, the return on pension assets was calculated using the long-term expected rate of return on the pension assets. By applying IAS 19R, the net interest expense for the period is now calculated by applying the discount rate for the liability at the beginning of the period to the net liability. The net interest expense therefore consists of the interest on the liability and the return on the pension assets, both calculated using the discount rate. Changes in the net pension liability as a result of premium receipts and payments of pensions are taken account of. The difference between the actual return on the pension assets and the return recognised in profit and loss, is accounted for immediately in OCI. The pension cost in 2012 under the previous accounting policy was NOK 13.4 million. The net effect of the change in principle of the treatment of unamortised estimate variances and the calculation of the net interest expense, brought about no change in the pension cost recognised in profit and loss in 2012, while estimate variances for 2012 of NOK 22.4 million were recognised in income under the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income in the fourth quarter of The pension liability as at 31 December 2012 increased to NOK 47.9 million. IAS 19R has been applied retrospectively, so that the comparable figures have been changed. NOTE 2. INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING SEGMENTS Segment reporting is reviewed regularly with the management.

The earlier turbulence in the financial markets caused the loss of some contractual counterparties, and it was not possible at the time to replace these hedging transactions. BN Bank is therefore partially exposed to the market development of a limited number of products. Changes in exposure are recognised in profit and loss immediately, and there was no P&L effect in as at 30 June 2013 or in The effect for full-year 2012 was income recognition of NOK 5 million. 2 Exchange gains/losses on borrowings and loans carried at amortised cost are chiefly attributable to exchange gain/loss effects which arise when borrowing and lending in foreign currencies are translated at the current exchange rate. Forward exchange contracts and combined interest rate and currency derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in value carried through profit or loss. The net foreign exchange effect for the Group was recognised income of NOK 4 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised income of NOK 3 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised income of NOK 3 million. 3 Changes in the value of financial investments selected for fair value carrying gave rise to recognised income of NOK 9 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised income of NOK 13 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised income of NOK 45 million. Turbulence in the financial markets has caused big fluctuations in the value of these investments. 4 The net effect of interest rate derivatives obliged to be carried at fair value and changes in the value of financial instruments selected for fair value carrying was recognised income of NOK 28 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised income of NOK 8 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised expense of NOK 12 million. 5 BN Bank uses fair value hedges for new fixed-rate borrowings and related hedge instruments. The borrowings are hedged 1:1 through external contracts where the principal, interest stream, term and hedging transaction match. It is the interest rate risk that is hedged and the hedging transactions entered into are documented. With fair value hedges, the hedge instrument is accounted for at fair value, and the hedge object is accounted for at fair value for the hedged risk. Changes in these values from the opening balance sheet are carried in profit or loss. The credit risk is not hedged and therefore does not affect the valuations. The value of the hedging instruments as at 30 June 2013 was positive by NOK 166 million, up from NOK 119 million for the same period of As at 31 December 2012 the value was positive by NOK 192 million. 6 Realised exchange gains/losses on bonds, certificates and borrowings carried at amortised cost gave rise to recognised expense of NOK 13 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised expense of NOK 9 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised expense of NOK 12 million. 15

16 GROUP: Income Statement Balance Sheet Change in Equity Cash Flow Notes NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Methods of determining fair value Interest swap agreements, currency swap agreements and forward exchange contracts The measurement of interest swap agreements at fair value is performed using a valuation technique where future cash flows are discounted to present values. The calculation of expected cash flows and the discounting of these cash flows is performed using observed market interest rates for the various currencies (interest-rate swap curve) and observed exchange rates (from which forward exchange rates are derived). Interest swap agreements with credit spread The measurement of interest swap agreements with credit spread at fair value is performed using a valuation technique where future cash flows are discounted to present values. The calculation of expected cash flows and the discounting of these cash flows is performed using observed market interest rates for the various currencies (interest-rate swap curve) with premium for the original credit spread on the interest swap agreement. Certificates and bonds Certificates are measured at quoted prices where such are available and the securities are liquid. In the case of other securities, measurement is performed using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of market players assessments of the creditworthiness of the issuer. Loans and advances For loans measured at fair value, the valuation is performed using a valuation technique where expected future cash flows are discounted to present values. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk and margins is determined on the basis of the original premium for credit risk and margin, but with subsequent adjustment of these premiums in correlation with changes in the market pricing of risk, the borrowers credit ratings and margin changes in the market. Borrowings selected for fair value carrying Where borrowing/funding is measured at fair value, quoted borrowings will be measured at quoted prices where such are available and the securities are liquid. In the case of other securities, measurement is performed using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of other market players ongoing assessments of the Bank s creditworthiness. Hedged borrowing/funding Borrowings included in fair value hedges are measured using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). We have discounted by the interest-rate swap curve with premium for the original credit spread on the borrowing to eliminate the effects of the credit risk. It is the interest rate risk that is hedged. Deposits For deposits measured at fair value, the valuation is performed using a valuation technique where expected future cash flows are discounted to present values. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of other market players ongoing assessments of the Bank s creditworthiness. The premium for margins is determined on the basis of the original margin, but with subsequent adjustment of margin in correlation with margin changes in the market. Options Equity options and equity-linked options are measured at fair value by obtaining market prices from the facilitators of the structured financial products. Shares The shares comprise mainly the investments in SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS and SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS. There is an interplay between the transfer of loans to these companies, the provision of the necessary capital and the level of the commission that is received. The measurement of these shares at fair value is virtually equal to the amount of capital paid into these companies. Division into measurement levels Fnancial instruments measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period are divided into the following levels of fair value measurement: - Level 1: Quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability - Level 2: Measurement is performed using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate of loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of other market players ongoing assessments of the Bank s creditworthiness. - Level 3: Measurement based on factors not taken from observable markets nor which have observable assumptions as input to the valuation. 16

Margin changes do not affect the calculation of fair value to any significant degree and for that reason are not quantified. The Group s measurement and valuation techniques The Group has a team in its Accounts & Treasury department that is responsible for measuring various assets and liabilities for accounting purposes. This team reports to the Chief Financial Officer. In addition, the factual results from the period s valuations are reported to the audit committee in connection with presentation of the accounts. The team also makes regular reports to the audit committee on the valuation principles and techniques it has applied. The assumptions used for valuations within Level 3 are related to margin changes on loans. NOTE 5.

AMICABLE SETTLEMENT Amicable settlement with Glitnir banki hf, Iceland Glitnir banki hf, now Glitnir hf, sued BN Bank ASA in 2011 for what Glitnir claimed was an unlawful offset of about NOK 240 million relating to claims and counter-claims between the parties declared by BN Bank ASA in November Oslo District Court gave judgment in the case in January 2012, according to which BN Bank ASA was ordered to pay back Glitnir hf approximately NOK 213 million plus interest. Following the court case there were negotiations between BN Bank ASA and the Winding Up Board for Glitnir hf. The parties came to an amicable settlement after which BN Bank ASA paid NOK 81.8 million to Glitnir hf and Glitnir hf accepted offset of the other disputed portion of about NOK million. BN Bank ASA has previously reported the greater portion of the claims against Glitnir which were used for offset as a loss and not as settled by means of offset.

Loans past due more than 3 months are defined as loans not serviced under the loan agreement for 3 months or more. However, as a first mortgage lender the Group can gain access to revenue, either through the courts or by some voluntary solution.

BN Bank now provides guarantees for 60% of the credit risk for this portfolio (referred to as the Guarantee Portfolio) of NOK 571 million. The Bank s maximum exposure is thus down to NOK 343 million, which at the end of Q was 1.1% of the Bank s total lending. The total provision for losses in the Guarantee Portfolio was NOK 118 million at 30 June BN Bank will provide guarantees for losses in the Guarantee Portfolio for a period of 3-5 years from the inception of the original agreement.

TRANSFER OF LOANS TO SPAREBANK 1 NÆRINGSKREDITT SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS was established in 2009 and is licensed by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway to operate as a credit institution. The company s bonds have an Aa3 rating from Moody s. The company is owned by the savings banks that form the SpareBank 1 consortium and is colocated with SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS in Stavanger. BN Bank has a 9.58% shareholding in the company at 30 June The purpose of the company is to secure for the consortium banks a source of stable, long-term financing of commercial real estate at competitive rates. SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt procures loans with mortgages on commercial properties and issues covered bonds within the regulations governing such bonds established in As part of the consortium, BN Bank may transfer loans to the company and, as part of the Bank s funding strategy, loans have been transferred from BNkreditt. Loans transferred to Sparebank 1 Næringskreditt AS are secured by mortgages on commercial properties for up to 60 per cent of the appraised value. Transferred loans are legally owned by Sparebank 1 Næringskreditt AS and, apart from the management right and the right to take over fully or partially written-down loans, BNkreditt has no right to the use of these loans. As at 30 June 2013, the book value of transferred loans was NOK 10.9 billion. BNkreditt is responsible for managing the transferred loans and BNkreditt receives a commission based on the net return on the loans transferred by the Bank and the costs to the company. BN Bank has put up guarantees for the transferred loan commitments where they exceed 25 per cent of SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt s capital base. As at 30 June 2013, these guarantees totalled NOK 21 million. The loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS are very well secured and there is only a very slight probability of loss. BNkreditt has a remaining involvement in the form of a possible settlement against the commission it receives. Should there arise accounting credit losses or a fall in margin relating to one or more transferred loans, SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS can reduce the commission BNkreditt receives with the loss. A reduction in commission for BNkreditt is limited to the total commission for the calendar year and if SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS subsequently has its loss covered, the commission will be paid back to BNkreditt. The maximum amount which BNkreditt can be required to pay back has been calculated, but is not material and is thus not recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the expected reduction in commission has been calculated and deemed immaterial. A possible settlement against the commission has therefore had no effect on the balance sheet or the result during the period. The consideration received for loans transferred from BNkreditt to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS is equal to the nominal value of transferred loans and is measured as virtually concurrent with the fair value of the loans as at 30 June 2013 and for full-year Guarantee provided by BN Bank to BNkreditt In order to attend to the interests of existing bond holders in BNkreditt, in connection with the transfer of loans to Sparebank 1 Næringskreditt BN Bank guaranteed that BNkreditt will have a capital adequacy ratio of at least 20 per cent at all times. Should the capital adequacy ratio fall below 20 per cent, the Parent Bank will cede precedence with respect to its accounts receivable with BNkreditt and/or provide a guarantee. As at 30 June 2013, BNkreditt s capital adequacy ratio was per cent. The amount the Parent Bank is ceding precedence for stood at NOK 751 million as at 30 June

TRANSFER OF LOANS TO SPAREBANK 1 BOLIGKREDITT SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt is owned by the savings banks that form the SpareBank 1 consortium and is co-located with SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS in Stavanger. BN Bank had a 3.90% shareholding in the company as at 30 June The purpose of the company is to secure for the banks within the consortium a source of stable, long-term financing of residential mortgage loans at competitive rates. The company s bonds have ratings of Aaa and AAA from Moody s and Fitch respectively. SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt procures loans with mortgages on residential properties and issues covered bonds within the regulations governing such bonds established in As part of the consortium, BN Bank may transfer loans to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and, as part of the Bank s funding strategy, loans have been transferred to the company. Loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS are secured by mortgages on residential properties for up to 75 per cent of the appraised value. Transferred loans are legally owned by SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS and, apart from the management right and the right to take over fully or partially written-down loans, BN Bank has no right to the use of these loans. At 30 June 2013, the book value of transferred loans was NOK 6.6 billion. BN Bank is responsible for managing the transferred loans and receives a commission based on the net return on the loans transferred by the Bank and the costs to the company. BN Bank has, in conjunction with the other owners of SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS, entered into agreements to establish a liquidity facility for SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS. This means that the owner banks have undertaken to purchase covered bonds in the case that SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS is unable to refinance its business in the market. The purchase is limited to the total value of the maturities in the company at any time in the next twelve months. Previous purchases under this agreement are deducted from future purchase obligations. Each owner is principally liable for his share of the refinancing need, alternatively for the double of what the primary liability may be in accordance with the same agreement. The bonds can be deposited in Norges Bank and thus give rise to no material increase in risk for BN Bank. According to its own internal policy, SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS maintains its liquidity for the next 12 months maturities. This is deducted when the banks liability is measured. It is therefore only in the event that SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS no longer has sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months maturities that BN Bank will report any commitment here with regard to capital adequacy or major commitments. BN Bank has also entered into a shareholder agreement with the shareholders of SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS. Among other things, this means that BN Bank will contribute to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS having a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 9.0 per cent, and if required inject tier 1 capital if it falls to a lower level. SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS has internal guidelines stipulating a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 10.0 per cent. On the basis of a concrete assessment, BN Bank has chosen not to hold capital for this obligation because the risk of BN Bank being compelled to contribute is considered very slight. Reference is also made in that connection to the fact that there are a number of alternative courses of action which may be relevant should such a situation arise. The loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS are very well secured and there is only a very slight probability of loss. BN Bank has a remaining involvement in the form of a possible settlement against the commission it receives. Should there arise accounting credit losses or a fall in margin relating to one or more transferred loans, SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS can reduce the commission BN Bank receives with the loss. A reduction in commission for BN Bank is limited to the total commission for the calendar year and if SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS subsequently has its loss covered, the commission will be paid back to BN Bank. The maximum amount which BN Bank can be required to pay back has been calculated, but is not material and is thus not recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the expected reduction in commission has been calculated and deemed immaterial. A possible settlement against the commission has therefore had no effect on the balance sheet or the result during the period.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY Process for assessing the capital adequacy requirement BN Bank has established a strategy and process for risk management and assessment of the capital adequacy requirement and how capital adequacy can be maintained. The collective term for this is ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process). Assessing the capital adequacy requirement includes assessing the size, composition and distribution of the capital base adapted to the level of risks that the Bank is or may be exposed to. The assessments are risk-based and forward-looking. Risk areas assessed in addition to the Pillar 1 risks are concentration risk in the credit portfolio, interest rate and foreign exchange risk in the bank portfolio, liquidity risk, market risk, owner s risk and reputation risk, compliance risk and strategic risk. ICAAP is not focused on a single method or a single figure, but presents a set of calculations including different time horizons, confidence levels and assumptions.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Sale of structured products BN Bank was sued in a group action over structured savings products in The Supreme Court ruled in February 2010 that group litigation is not appropriate for assessing this type of product. The group action against BN Bank has thus been brought to a conclusion. Three of the Bank s customers then sued the Bank individually in the District Court, but the Court ruled against them on 8 July The ruling was appealed to the Borgarting Court of Appeal, but the case ended in an amicable settlement with the same result for the Bank as after the District Court s decision, whereby the Bank was obliged to pay its own costs. BN Bank has also provided loans to finance Artemis structured products. BN Bank was sued by six customers, three of whom are limited companies. Two applicants have withdrawn their lawsuits, and the total loan financing on these products now amounts to NOK 80 million. The amounts in dispute are interest payments on the total loan amount. In March 2013, the Supreme Court passed judgment in the so-called Røeggen case. The Norwegian Financial Services Complaints Board has in that connection requested BN Bank and other banks to reassess the complaints against them that have been brought before the Board, in the light of the court judgment. BN Bank has found no grounds for changing its standpoint and still takes the view that the cases the Bank is involved in are not comparable with the Røeggen case. As a result, no provision has been made relating to structured savings products to date in NOTE 17. CONTINGENT OUTCOMES, EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Apart from the matters mentioned in Note 16 above, there are no assets or liabilities to which contingent outcomes are attached and where those outcomes could have a significant impact on the Group s financial position and results.

35 PARENT BANK: Income Statement Balance Sheet Change in Equity Cash Flow Notes NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Q2 financial statements for the period 1 April to 30 June 2013 have been prepared in compliance with IFRS, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. A description of the accounting policies on which the financial statements are based is provided in the Annual Report for 2012, with the following exceptions: Pensions With effect from 1 January 2013, BN Bank has applied IAS 19 Employee Benefits and changed the basis for calculating pension liabilities and pension costs. BN Bank has previously used the corridor method to account for unamortised estimate variances. The corridor method is no longer permitted and according to the revised standard IAS 19R, all estimate variances shall be recognised in a Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Estimate variances at 1 Jan which totalled NOK 19.1 million have been reset. The pension liability increased correspondingly as of 1 Jan. 2012, while the equity was reduced by NOK 13.7 million after tax. Previously, the return on pension assets was calculated using the long-term expected rate of return on the pension assets. By applying IAS 19R, the net interest expense for the period is now calculated by applying the discount rate for the liability at the beginning of the period to the net liability. The net interest expense therefore consists of the interest on the liability and the return on the pension assets, both calculated using the discount rate. Changes in the net pension liability as a result of premium receipts and payments of pensions are taken account of. The difference between the actual return on the pension assets and the return recognised in profit and loss, is accounted for immediately in OCI. The pension cost in 2012 under the previous accounting policy was NOK 8.6 million. The net effect of the change in principle of the treatment of unamortised estimate variances and the calculation of the net interest expense, brought about no change in the pension cost recognised in profit and loss in 2012, while estimate variances for 2012 of NOK 14.3 million were recognised in income under the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income in the fourth quarter of The pension liability as at 31 December 2012 increased to NOK 30.7 million. IAS 19R has been applied retrospectively, so that the comparable figures have been changed. 35

The earlier turbulence in the financial markets caused the loss of some contractual counterparties, and it was not possible at the time to replace these hedging transactions. BN Bank is therefore partially exposed to the market development of a limited number of products. Changes in exposure are recognised in profit and loss immediately, and there was no P&L effect as at 30 June 2013 or in The effect for full-year 2012 was income recognition of NOK 5 million. 2 Exchange gains/losses on borrowings and loans carried at amortised cost are chiefly attributable to exchange gain/loss effects which arise when borrowing and lending in foreign currencies are translated at the current exchange rate. Forward exchange contracts and combined interest rate and currency derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in value carried through profit or loss. The net foreign exchange effect for the Group was recognised income of NOK 17 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised expense of NOK 20 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised income of NOK 3 million. 3 Changes in the value of financial investments selected for fair value carrying gave rise to recognised income of NOK 9 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised income of NOK 13 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised income of NOK 45 million. Turbulence in the financial markets has caused big fluctuations in the value of these investments. 4 The net effect of interest rate derivatives obliged to be carried at fair value and changes in the value of financial instruments selected for fair value carrying was recognised income of NOK 15 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised income of NOK 40 million for the same period of The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised expense of NOK 1 million. 5 BN Bank uses fair value hedges for new fixed-rate borrowings and related hedge instruments. The borrowings are hedged 1:1 through external contracts where the principal, interest stream, term and hedging transaction match. It is the interest rate risk that is hedged and the hedging transactions entered into are documented. With fair value hedges, the hedge instrument is accounted for at fair value, and the hedge object is accounted for at fair value for the hedged risk. Changes in these values from the opening balance sheet are carried in profit or loss. The credit risk is not hedged and therefore does not affect the valuations. The value of the hedging instruments as at 30 June 2013 was positive by NOK 142 million, up from NOK 89 million for the same period of As at 31 December 2012 the value was positive by NOK 117 million. 6 Realised exchange gains/losses bonds, certificates and borrowings carried at amortised cost gave rise to recognised expense of NOK 9 million as at 30 June 2013, compared with recognised expense of NOK 2 million for the same period or The effect for full-year 2012 was recognised expense of NOK 4 million. 36

37 PARENT BANK: Income Statement Balance Sheet Change in Equity Cash Flow Notes NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Methods of determining fair value Interest swap agreements, currency swap agreements and forward exchange contracts The measurement of interest swap agreements at fair value is performed using a valuation technique where future cash flows are discounted to present values. The calculation of expected cash flows and the discounting of these cash flows is performed using observed market interest rates for the various currencies (interest-rate swap curve) and observed exchange rates (from which forward exchange rates are derived). Interest swap agreements with credit spread The measurement of interest swap agreements with credit spread at fair value is performed using a valuation technique where future cash flows are discounted to present values. The calculation of expected cash flows and the discounting of these cash flows is performed using observed market interest rates for the various currencies (interest-rate swap curve) with premium for the original credit spread on the interest swap agreement. Certificates and bonds Certificates are measured at quoted prices where such are available and the securities are liquid. In the case of other securities, measurement is performed using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of market players assessments of the creditworthiness of the issuer. Loans and advances For loans measured at fair value, the valuation is performed using a valuation technique where expected future cash flows are discounted to present values. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk and margins is determined on the basis of the original premium for credit risk and margin, but with subsequent adjustment of these premiums in correlation with changes in the market pricing of risk, the borrowers credit ratings and margin changes in the market. Borrowings selected for fair value carrying Where borrowing/funding is measured at fair value, quoted borrowings will be measured at quoted prices where such are available and the securities are liquid. In the case of other securities, measurement is performed using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of other market players ongoing assessments of the Bank s creditworthiness. Hedged borrowing/funding Borrowings included in fair value hedges are measured using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). We have discounted by the interest-rate swap curve with premium for the original credit spread on the borrowing to eliminate the effects of the credit risk. It is the interest rate risk that is hedged. Deposits For deposits measured at fair value, the valuation is performed using a valuation technique where expected future cash flows are discounted to present values. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate on loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of other market players ongoing assessments of the Bank s creditworthiness. The premium for margins is determined on the basis of the original margin, but with subsequent adjustment of margin in correlation with margin changes in the market. Options Equity options and equity-linked options are measured at fair value by obtaining market prices from the facilitators of the structured financial products. Shares The shares comprise mainly the investments in SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS and SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS. There is an interplay between the transfer of loans to these companies, the provision of the necessary capital and the level of the commission that is received. The measurement of these shares at fair value is virtually equal to the amount of capital paid into these companies. Division into measurement levels Financial instruments measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period are divided into the following levels of fair value measurement: - Level 1: Quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability - Level 2: Measurement is performed using a valuation technique and discounting of expected future cash flows. The risk-free interest rate is read from the market through the interest rate of loans between especially creditworthy banks (interest-rate swap curve). The premium for credit risk is determined on the basis of other market players ongoing assessments of the Bank s creditworthiness. - Level 3: Measurement based on factors not taken from observable markets nor which have observable assumptions as input to the valuation. 37

Margin changes do not affect the calculation of fair value to any significant degree and for that reason are not quantified. The Group s valuation and measurement techniques The Group has a team in its Accounts & Treasury department that is responsible for measuring various assets and liabilities for accounting purposes. This team reports to the Chief Financial Officer. In addition, the factual results from the period s valuations are reported to the audit committee in connection with presentation of the accounts. The team also makes regular reports to the audit committee on the valuation principles and techniques it has applied. The assumptions used for valuations within Level 3 are related to margin changes on loans. 40

AMICABLE SETTLEMENT Amicable settlement with Glitnir banki hf, Iceland Glitnir banki hf, now Glitnir hf, sued BN Bank ASA in 2011 for what Glitnir claimed was an unlawful offset of about NOK 240 million relating to claims and counter-claims between the parties declared by BN Bank ASA in November Oslo District Court gave judgment in the case in January 2012, according to which BN Bank ASA was ordered to pay back Glitnir hf approximately NOK 213 million plus interest. Following the court case there were negotiations between BN Bank ASA and the Winding Up Board for Glitnir hf. The parties came to an amicable settlement, after which BN Bank ASA paid NOK 81.8 million to Glitnir hf and Glitnir hf accepted offset of the other disputed portion of about NOK million. BN Bank ASA has previously reported the greater portion of the claims against Glitnir which were used for offset as a loss and not as settled by means of offset. The P&L effect of the amicable settlement before tax was therefore NOK 117 million recognised as income in NOTE 6. INCOME FROM OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN GROUP COMPANIES The 2013 Annual General Meetings of the subsidiaries Bolig- og Næringskreditt AS and BN Boligkreditt AS have resolved to distribute dividends of, respectively, NOK 110 million and NOK 7 million before tax. No tax has been computed on the dividends as they were distributed within the Group s tax payment arrangements. 41

IMPAIRMENT LOSSES AND WRITE-DOWNS ON LOANS CARRIED AT AMORTISED COST AND GUARANTEES The various elements included in impairment losses & write-downs on loans are set out in Note 1, 2012 Annual Report. Loans past due more than 3 months are defined as loans not serviced under the loan agreement for 3 months or more. However, as a first mortgage lender the Group can gain access to revenue, either through the courts or by some voluntary solution.

The parties revised the agreement on 1 February 2012 according to which BN Bank sold NOK 2.3 billion of the portfolio valued at NOK 3.1 billion to SpareBank1 SMN. BN Bank now provides guarantees for 60% of the credit risk for this portfolio (referred to as the Guarantee Portfolio) of NOK 571 million. The Bank s maximum exposure is thus down to NOK 343 million, which at the end of Q was 1.1% of the Bank s total lending. The total provision for losses in the Guarantee Portfolio was NOK 118 million at 30 June BN Bank will provide guarantees for losses in the Guarantee Portfolio for a period of 3-5 years from the inception of the original agreement.

OVERVIEW OF GROSS LENDING IN MANAGED PORTFOLIO NOK MILLION Corporate and retail loans Vendor financing Gross lending Loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt Total loans in managed portfolio Divested portfolio NOTE 9. TRANSFER OF LOANS TO SPAREBANK 1 NÆRINGSKREDITT SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS was established in 2009 and is licensed by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway to operate as a credit institution. The company s bonds have an Aa3 rating from Moody s. The company is owned by the savings banks that form the SpareBank 1 consortium and is colocated with SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS in Stavanger. BN Bank has a 9.58% shareholding in the company at 30 June The purpose of the company is to secure for the consortium banks a source of stable, long-term financing of commercial real estate at competitive rates. SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt procures loans with mortgages on commercial properties and issues covered bonds within the regulations governing such bonds established in As part of the consortium, BN Bank may transfer loans to the company and, as part of the Bank s funding strategy, loans have been transferred from BNkreditt. Loans transferred to Sparebank 1 Næringskreditt AS are secured by mortgages on commercial properties for up to 60 per cent of the appraised value. Transferred loans are legally owned by Sparebank 1 Næringskreditt AS and, apart from the management right and the right to take over fully or partially written-down loans, BNkreditt has no right to the use of these loans. As at 30 June 2013, the book value of transferred loans was NOK 10.9 billion. BNkreditt is responsible for managing the transferred loans and BNkreditt receives a commission based on the net return on the loans transferred by the Bank and the costs to the company. BN Bank has put up guarantees for the transferred loan commitments where they exceed 25 per cent of SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt s capital base. As at 30 June 2013, these guarantees totalled NOK 21 million. The loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS are very well secured and there is only a very slight probability of loss. BNkreditt has a remaining involvement in the form of a possible settlement against the commission it receives. Should there arise accounting credit losses or a fall in margin relating to one or more transferred loans, SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS can reduce the commission BNkreditt receives with the loss. A reduction in commission for BNkreditt is limited to the total commission for the calendar year and if SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS subsequently has its loss covered, the commission will be paid back to BNkreditt. The maximum amount which BNkreditt can be required to pay back has been calculated, but is not material and is thus not recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the expected reduction in commission has been calculated and deemed immaterial. A possible settlement against the commission has therefore had no effect on the balance sheet or the result during the period. The consideration received for loans transferred from BNkreditt to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS is equal to the nominal value of transferred loans and is measured as virtually concurrent with the fair value of the loans as at 30 June 2013 and for full-year Guarantee provided by BN Bank to BNkreditt In order to attend to the interests of existing bond holders, in connection with the transfer of loans to Sparebank 1 Næringskreditt, BN Bank guaranteed that BNkreditt will have a capital adequacy ratio of at least 20 per cent at all times. Should the capital adequacy ratio fall below 20 per cent, the Parent Bank will cede precedence with respect to its accounts receivable with BNkreditt and/or provide a guarantee. As at 30 June 2013, BNkreditt s capital adequacy ratio was per cent. The amount the Parent Bank is ceding precedence for stood at NOK 751 million as at 30 June

45 PARENT BANK: Income Statement Balance Sheet Change in Equity Cash Flow Notes NOTE 10. TRANSFER OF LOANS TO SPAREBANK 1 BOLIGKREDITT SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt is owned by the savings banks that form the SpareBank 1 consortium and is co-located with SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt AS in Stavanger. BN Bank had a 3.90% shareholding in the company as at 30 June The purpose of the company is to secure for the banks within the consortium a source of stable, long-term financing of residential mortgage loans at competitive rates. The company s bonds have ratings of Aaa and AAA from Moody s and Fitch respectively. SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt procures loans with mortgages on residential properties and issues covered bonds within the regulations governing such bonds established in As part of the consortium, BN Bank may transfer loans to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and, as part of the Bank s funding strategy, loans have been transferred to the company. Loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS are secured by mortgages on residential properties for up to 75 per cent of the appraised value. Transferred loans are legally owned by SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS and, apart from the management right and the right to take over fully or partially written-down loans, BN Bank has no right to the use of these loans. At 30 June 2013, the book value of transferred loans was NOK 6.6 billion. BN Bank is responsible for managing the transferred loans and receives a commission based on the net return on the loans transferred by the Bank and the costs to the company. BN Bank has, in conjunction with the other owners of SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS, entered into agreements to establish a liquidity facility for SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS. This means that the owner banks have undertaken to purchase covered bonds in the case that SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS is unable to refinance its business in the market. The purchase is limited to the total value of the maturities in the company at any time in the next twelve months. Previous purchases under this agreement are deducted from future purchase obligations. Each owner is principally liable for his share of the refinancing need, alternatively for the double of what the primary liability may be in accordance with the same agreement. The bonds can be deposited in Norges Bank and thus give rise to no material increase in risk for BN Bank. According to its own internal policy, SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS maintains its liquidity for the next 12 months maturities. This is deducted when the banks liability is measured. It is therefore only in the event that SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS no longer has sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months maturities that BN Bank will report any commitment here with regard to capital adequacy or major commitments. BN Bank has also entered into a shareholder agreement with the shareholders of SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS. Among other things, this means that BN Bank will contribute to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS having a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 9.0 per cent, and if required inject tier 1 capital if it falls to a lower level. SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS has internal guidelines stipulating a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 10.0 per cent. On the basis of a concrete assessment, BN Bank has chosen not to hold capital for this obligation because the risk of BN Bank being compelled to contribute is considered very slight. Reference is also made in that connection to the fact that there are a number of alternative courses of action which may be relevant should such a situation arise. The loans transferred to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS are very well secured and there is only a very slight probability of loss. BN Bank has a remaining involvement in the form of a possible settlement against the commission it receives. Should there arise accounting credit losses or a fall in margin relating to one or more transferred loans, SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS can reduce the commission BN Bank receives with the loss. A reduction in commission for BN Bank is limited to the total commission for the calendar year and if SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS subsequently has its loss covered, the commission will be paid back to BN Bank. The maximum amount which BN Bank can be required to pay back has been calculated, but is not material and is thus not recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the expected reduction in commission has been calculated and deemed immaterial. A possible settlement against the commission has therefore had no effect on the balance sheet or the result during the period. The consideration received for loans transferred from BN Bank to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS is equal to the nominal value of transferred loans and is measured as virtually concurrent with the fair value of the loans as at 30 June 2013 and for full-year NOTE 11.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY Process for assessing the capital adequacy requirement BN Bank has established a strategy and process for risk management and assessment of the capital adequacy requirement and how capital adequacy can be maintained. The collective term for this is ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process). Assessing the capital adequacy requirement includes assessing the size, composition and distribution of the capital base adapted to the level of risks that the Bank is or may be exposed to. The assessments are risk-based and forward-looking. Risk areas assessed in addition to the Pillar 1 risks are concentration risk in the credit portfolio, interest rate and foreign exchange risk in the bank portfolio, liquidity risk, market risk, owner s risk and reputation risk, compliance risk and strategic risk. ICAAP is not focused on a single method or a single figure, but presents a set of calculations including different time horizons, confidence levels and assumptions.

51 PARENT BANK: Income Statement Balance Sheet Change in Equity Cash Flow Notes NOTE 16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Sale of structured products BN Bank was sued in a group action over structured savings products in The Supreme Court ruled in February 2010 that group litigation is not appropriate for assessing this type of product. The group action against BN Bank has thus been brought to a conclusion. Three of the Bank s customers then sued the Bank individually in the District Court, but the Court ruled against them on 8 July The ruling was appealed to the Borgarting Court of Appeal, but the case ended in an amicable settlement with the same result for the Bank as after the District Court s decision, whereby the Bank was obliged to pay its own costs. BN Bank has also provided loans to finance Artemis structured products. BN Bank was sued by 6 customers, 3 of whom are limited companies. Two applicants have withdrawn their lawsuits, and the total loan financing on these products is now NOK 80 million. The amounts in dispute are interest payments on the total loan amount. In March 2013, the Supreme Court passed judgment in the so-called Røeggen case. The Norwegian Financial Services Complaints Board has in that connection requested BN Bank and other banks to reassess the complaints against them that have been brought before the Board, in the light of the court judgment. BN Bank has found no grounds for changing its standpoint and still takes the view that the cases the Bank is involved in are not comparable with the Røeggen case. As a result, no provision has been made relating to structured savings products to date in NOTE 17. CONTINGENT OUTCOMES, EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Apart from the matters mentioned in Note 16 above, there are no assets or liabilities to which contingent outcomes are attached and where those outcomes could have a significant impact on the Group s financial position and results. There were no significant events after the reporting period. NOTE 18.

52 Report on Review of Interim Financial Information To the Board of Directors of BN Bank ASA Report on Review of Interim Financial Information Introduction We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of BN Bank ASA, which comprise the financial statements of the group and the financial statements of the parent company. The financial statements of the group and the financial statements of the parent company comprise balance sheet as of 30 June 2013 and the related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with International 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 and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards on auditing adopted by Den Norske Revisorforening, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
