3. Developments in Q3 2007 The following paragraphs review significant events and developments recorded in Q3 2007. Results of the Capinordic Group The Group profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax for Q1-Q3 2007 amounted to DKK 101m, of which the profit for Q3 amounted to DKK 45m. By comparison, Group profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax for Q1-Q3 2006 amounted to DKK 37m, of which the profit for Q3 amounted to DKK 29m. The Group thus maintained a high earnings level despite its strong expansion in 2007. The Group s gross income rose from DKK 75m to DKK 284m as compared with 2006, or almost a quadrupling of the gross income. After tax, the Group profit for Q1-Q3 2007 was DKK 59m as compared with DKK 21m for the same period of 2006. In Q3, the Group s corporate finance assignments have made a particularly positive contribution to Group earnings. Capital structure and capital adequacy The Group s equity for the period ended 30 September 2007 was DKK 2,144m. The Group s capital base less deductions for the period ended 30 September 2007 was DKK 1,000m and the capital adequacy ratio was 58.74. Capinordic in Denmark The development in Group activities in Denmark was satisfactory. DKK 000 Year to date 2007 Year to date 2006* Year 2006* Net interest and fee income 98,833 49,313 139,123 Profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax 89,042 30,841 86,084 Profit after tax for the period 55,027 19,647 50,370 * All Danish activities of the Group commenced in 2006. The Group s net interest and fee income in Denmark rose notably compared with the same period last year. The increase in the Group s Danish activities is mainly attributable to the setting up of Capinordic Bank A/S in H2 2006 and the Group s acquisition of Proviso Fondsmæglerselskab A/S in Q2 2006. In Q3 2007, particularly the Group s activities within corporate finance have made a positive contribution to Group earnings in Denmark. Banking The Group s banking activities in Q3 2007 were satisfactory. The return for Private Banking customers with portfolio management agreements was higher than the development in comparable indices. Likewise, Markets saw a positive development and thus also in Q3 experienced both an increase in turnover and an increasing interest in the bank s analyses. The expansion of the product range by interest and currency products in Markets also contributed to an improved position for Capinordic Bank in the securities trading field. Page 5 of 25

In Q3, the Capinordic Group had substantial income in connection with the completion of a number of major corporate finance assignments. The scope of the corporate finance assignments varies substantially, particularly in terms of earnings, duration and use of resources. The listing of Ikast/Bording Elite Håndbold A/S was effected in Q3 2007, and direct placements of new shares were also made for companies already listed. Moreover, various facilitation assignments were completed as well as structured funding projects, which are also offered to the Group s Private Banking customers. The Capinordic Group carries out portfolio investments as part of its corporate finance activities. Examples of this type of investments are ITH Industri Invest A/S, Euroinvestor.com A/S and Aktiebog Danmark A/S. Portfolio investments are an integral part of the aggregate activities of Capinordic. For the purpose of the Group s own value generation, Capinordic thus makes targeted investments through limited ownership. In that connection, Capinordic is a business partner and takes an active part by supplying management expertise, procuring capital or assisting in IPOs. The income from these assignments is not accrued as it is in fact only realised at the completion of the corporate finance assignment. Similarly, the type of income realised by corporate finance activities varies. Accordingly, the Group has had income in Q3 from corporate finance assignments both in the form of fee and commission income and capital gains on securities. On 25 October 2007, sold its shareholding in ITH Industri Invest A/S as part of these activities. At 30 June 2007, the portfolio investments came to DKK 181m, or 18% of the Group s base capital. Moreover, the merger between Capinordic Bank A/S and Proviso Fondsmæglerselskab A/S became final on 28 August 2007. The merger strengthens the Private Banking business area. The actual merger has no effect on the Group s revenue, results, equity or number of employees. Other activities Capinordic Property Management A/S Capinordic Property Management A/S manages the association Capee fmba., which has acquired an attractive portfolio of 70 Italian properties. The acquisition became final after completion of a satisfactory due diligence review. With this investment, the value of the association s property portfolio is DKK 2,147m. At the OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen, Capee fmba. will thus be the largest independent association to invest in real property. All the properties of the portfolio are let to Telecom Italia. The leases cannot be terminated by either party until the end of 2021, when Telecom Italia has an option to extend the leases by six years more. The rent is adjusted every year by 1.43%, and Telecom Italia has a duty to take care of both internal and external maintenance and to pay other operating expenses. Page 6 of 25

Capinordic in Sweden The development in Group activities in Sweden was satisfactory. Results are affected by costs for setting up a bank branch, implementation of acquisitions and their integration. The increase in the Group s net interest and fee income in Sweden compared with the same period in 2006 is mainly due to the acquisition and consolidation of Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB and Nordisk Fondservice AB. In connection with the acquisition of Nordisk Fondservice AB, and to ensure exploitation of the positive synergies, efficient decision-making processes and an anchoring of Group interests in the Swedish subsidiaries, the companies Nordisk Fondservice AB, Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB and Unitfond AB have elected the same supervisory board. The Group has a satisfactory inflow of both the number of customers and assets under management. The effect of this growth is expected to impact on the consolidated results as from 2008. DKK 000 Year to date 2007 Year to date 2006 Year 2006 Net interest and fee income 38,770 12,527 16,597 Profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax 1,751 1,470 1,503 Profit after tax for the period (3,765) 985 948 Investment Services acquired Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB finally on 18 January 2007 and Nordisk Fondservice AB finally on 7 August 2007. Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB manages premium pension products (PPM), and Nordisk Fondservice AB mainly manages unit-linked insurance products. Nordisk Fondservice AB and Unitfond AB have identical business models and have therefore started collaborating closely under a joint management with positive results. Nordisk Fondservice AB and Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB have started collaborating on product development and optimisation of synergies. In 2008, Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB thus expects to launch unit-linked insurance policies as part of its product range. The highly positive growth of both Nordisk Fondservice AB and Monetar Pensionsförvaltning has been maintained since the acquisition. Returns on the companies portfolios have been satisfactory relative to comparable indices. Asset Management Capinordic Fonder AB offers management in seven investment funds of the fund-of-funds type, interest rate funds and equity funds. Capinordic Fonder AB caters for private, corporate as well as institutional investors. Capinordic Fonder AB has seen a positive development and now also offers a number of its funds through the PPM system. The development in Capinordic Fonder AB has been satisfactory. The return has been satisfactory compared with the development in relevant indices. Moreover, the inflow of new customers has also been satisfactory. Capinordic Fonder AB has concluded a number of agreements with Nordnet, Avanza and others on collaboration and distribution of the company s funds. The collaboration with the Group s other Swedish subsidiaries on the amalgamation and optimisation of the Group s asset management progresses in a very satisfactory way. The centralisation has thus been implemented, and a change of management has taken place in Capinordic Fonder as an element of this process. Page 7 of 25

Focal points as a consequence of growth strategy The Group s growth strategy is based on a combination of acquisitions, organic growth and strategic alliances. Based on the Group s growth strategy, the Group focal points were: Acquisitions and their integration Setting up a bank branch in Sweden Launch of investment management company in Denmark Latest acquisitions and their integration In Q3, particularly focused on: 1. Nordisk Fondservice AB 2. Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S 3. Dansk O.T.C. Fondsmæglerselskab A/S (Dansk O.T.C.) The Capinordic Group after completion of these acquisitions 1 : Nordisk Fondservice AB Nordisk Fondservice AB was founded in 1999 and manages unit-linked insurance policies in Sweden. Particularly since 2005, the company has realised significant growth. Nordisk Fondservice AB sells its services through a distribution network consisting of more than 1,000 independent financial advisors (insurance brokers). Nordisk Fondservice AB uses a specially developed and strong innovative IT platform to manage its relations with customers, insurance brokers and alliance partners. In combination with Unitfond AB and Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB, Nordisk Fondservice AB represents a major market share in the Swedish market for investment and savings products, both in terms of their number of customers, assets under management and the size of their distribution network. This is expected to expand the growth and the earnings basis of the Group in the form of exploitation of positive synergies. The synergies particularly relate to: a notable increase in the Group s distribution network in the form of independent financial advisors and a notable increase in the number of insurance companies which have concluded cooperation agreements with the Group cost cuts through administrative combination enhancement within management, product development, etc. Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S manages assets for Danish investors with cash assets exceeding DKK 25m. Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S focuses on equity investments and today has an attractive customer portfolio. Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S provides: 1 In addition, the Capinordic Group wholly owns the following companies: CSV Invest ApS, Denmark Aktie- & Valutainvest ApS, Denmark Dansk Autoriseret Markedsplads A/S, Denmark Page 8 of 25

a number of attractive asset management products focused on equity investments and savings for affluent customers substantial knowledge capital within equity investments and analyses as well as the sale of savings and asset management products a customer portfolio comprising affluent persons, who are also the target group of Capinordic Bank A/S Corporate finance activities Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S is expected to apply for and receive a licence to operate an investment management company in early 2008. Dansk O.T.C. Dansk O.T.C. Fondsmæglerselskab A/S is an investment service company with its registered office in Horsens, Denmark. The target group of the company comprises affluent private customers as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. finds it to be a natural strategy for the Capinordic Group to be represented in Jutland. The activities of Dansk O.T.C. are within the Capinordic Group s competence areas related to Corporate Banking, Markets, Private Financial Services and Asset Management. The integration of Dansk O.T.C. into the Capinordic Group is therefore estimated to present potential synergies in relation to the Group s other business activities, particularly the activities within asset portfolio management for affluent private individuals and Corporate Finance. Bank branch in Sweden The branch of Capinordic Bank is expected to be launched in H1 2008. The branch will have its office in Stockholm and will probably be launched through profile campaigns, and the Group s existing companies in Sweden will also participate in the sales work and marketing of the bank. The branch will offer products within the four competence areas of the Group. In the starting-up period, the primary focus will be on very competitive savings products. Project manager Ulrika Nathhorst Jener replaces the former project manager Henrik Werner, whose employment has ended. Investment management company in Denmark The Capinordic Group continued its work in Q3 2007 of setting up an investment management company. The Capinordic Group expects to launch an investment management company on the basis of Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S as the legal entity. The Capinordic Group expects to apply for and receive a licence to operate an investment management company in early 2008. The investment management company is to cooperate with various financial players and in this connection to offer individual portfolio consultancy and specific asset management products to the customers of Capinordic Bank A/S. 4. Prospects In 2007, the Capinordic Group expects: Continued growth based on a combination of acquisitions, alliances and organic growth o Focus on integration of acquired companies into the Group o Optimisation of investments in subsidiaries o Exploitation of positive synergies Launch of investment management company in Denmark in early 2008 That the Group maintains its expectation of achieving a profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax at a level of DKK 150m The Capinordic Group expects to launch a branch of Capinordic Bank A/S in Sweden in H1 2008. The budgets and forecasts prepared are based on historical data and assumptions which are deemed by Management to be acceptable; however, in the nature of things, such assumptions are uncertain and unpredictable.

10. Financial statements of the Capinordic Group Accounting policies The for the Parent Company and the Group has been prepared as a summary and in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the interim financial reporting requirements laid down by OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen, and the Executive Order on the Application of International Financial Reporting Standards for Enterprises Falling within the Financial Business Act (the IFRS Executive Order for financial enterprises). The application of IAS 34 means that this presentation is more limited than the presentation of a full annual report, and that the valuation principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards have been observed. The accounting policies are unchanged as compared with the 2006 Annual Report. The 2006 Annual Report provides a full description of the accounting policies applied. The Group has chosen to change its presentation of portfolio enterprises so that they are presented as a separate item in the balance sheet in future. The presentation (format) of the balance sheet has been adapted accordingly. This change does not affect the Group s accounting policies for recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities. Comparative figures have been restated in accordance with the change in format. The Interim Financial Report has not been audited. Accounting estimates and assessments The calculation of the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities requires estimates of the impact of future events on the value of such assets and liabilities at the balance-sheet date. Estimates material to reporting are made in connection with the measurement of the Group s loans, advances and other receivables, the calculation of amortisation, depreciation and impairment, pensions and similar obligations, provisions and contingent liabilities and assets. The estimates made are based on historical data and assumptions which are deemed by Management to be acceptable; however, in the nature of things, such assumptions are uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unexpected events or circumstances may occur. The enterprise is also subject to risks and uncertainties that may result in deviations between actual results and estimates. Special risks applicable to the Group are discussed in the 2006 Annual Report. Page 15 of 25
