Hellevad-Ørum Sparekasse merged with Sparekassen Vendsyssel on 1 January 2005. In 2006, first Brovst Sparekasse and then Jerslev Sparekasse became part of Sparekassen Vendsyssel. Most recently, Ulsted Sparekasse merged with Sparekassen Vendsyssel in 2008. The Bank has 263 dedicated and competent employees (full-time equivalent: 250), including specialists in all major business areas. Again in 2009, the Bank saw an increase in the number of new customers, exceeding the budget for the year. In total, the Bank has approximately 7,500 new customers of whom approximately 3,000 come from the acquisition of four branches of the former EBH Bank in Skovsgård, Tranum, Halvrimmen and Brovst. The Bank already had branches in Skovsgård and Halvrimmen and therefore, the branches were merged shortly after the acquisition. The acquired branch in Brovst will be merged with the existing branch in Brovst on 8 March 2010. The approximately 3,800 customers taken over by the Bank in the branches acquired from EBH Bank were transferred manually to Sparekassen Vendsyssel. With the exception of a part of the branch in Brovst, this process has almost been completed and added 3,000 new customers to the Bank as at 31 December 2009. The remaining approximately 800 customers are expected to be transferred to the Bank in the first quarter of 2010. At the end of 2009, these approximately 800 customers had deposits of DKK 33.6m, loans of DKK 47.4m and guarantees of DKK 42.0m. These amounts were not recognised in the Bank’s financial statements for 2009, as the customers had not signed a legally binding agreement on such transfer at the end of 2009. At the end of 2009, the Bank had approximately 53,000 customers, including more than 23,400 guarantors, who have contributed total guarantee capital of DKK 704.2m – an important part of the Bank’s foundation. This support has helped make Sparekassen Vendsyssel one of Denmark’s largest guarantor savings banks. The total business volume with customers in the form of loans, deposits, guarantees and guarantee capital is DKK 15.9bn, to which should be added management of custody accounts for DKK 2.3bn. 4.000.000 DKK 1.000 kr. 1500 3.000.000 2.000.000 1200 1.000.000 0 900 2 600 % 200 300 180 160 0 2005 2006 2007 2008 140 2009 100 Guarantee capital Other equity 80 60 The Bank’s total equity was DKK 1.3bn at the end of 2009, DKK 704.2m of which was guarantee capital. The object of Sparekassen Vendsyssel is to offer all common financial products to private and business customers. Sparekassen Vendsyssel is primarily active in Vendsyssel Beløb i 1.000 kr. (Northern Jutland) with a total of 26 branches, 25 of which 500.000 are located in Vendsyssel and one in Copenhagen. 400.000 Mission of Sparekassen Vendsyssel For many years, Sparekassen Vendsyssel has been true to its mission: ”from our base in Vendsyssel we wish to 300.000 meet the need for capital intermediation vis-à-vis both private customers and small and medium-sized business customers. 200.000 Our customers should see us as a provider of optimum solutions to their overall financing needs, including competitive solutions and products within mortgage 100.000 credit, insurance, pensions and investment.” Thanks to the Bank’s large equity, sound core earnings and competent 0 employees, it remains strongly positioned de2007 2006 2008 2009 spite the global financial crisis and the economic recession. Netto rente- og gebyrindtægter Sparekassen Vendsyssel is – and will continue to be – an independent Netto localrenteindtægter savings bank. Unusual circumstances In 2009. Sparekassen Vendsyssel applied for and was granted hybrid core capital from the Danish government (Bank Rescue Package II) totalling DKK 235m. The interest has been fixed at a nominal 9.58 per cent including a risk surcharge of 0.75 per cent and is, accordingly, one of the lowest rates of interest granted for all loans under Bank Rescue Package II. The loan was disbursed to the Bank 3 40 20 0 20 8.000.000 7.000.000 6.000.000 5.000.000 4.000.000 3.000.000 2.000.000 1.000.000 0 20 Management Review at the end of September 2009 and recognised as hybrid subordinate loan capital under subordinated debt. Before Bank Rescue Package II, the Bank’s capital adequacy and liquidity situation were in every possible way very satisfactory, but in the period up to the application deadline of 30 June 2009, the crisis in society seemed to deepen further and the financial markets kept being uncertain. The Bank therefore decided to apply for a government capital contribution by way of hybrid core capital. The cost of Bank Rescue Package II is seen as insurance premium to be prepared for further sector consolidation, should it be required once again. banks in general and, hence, also for Sparekassen Vendsyssel. Despite this, the Bank presents a satisfactory profit of DKK 30.7m before tax. The profit for 2009 is in line with 2008 which was also very much influenced by the international financial crisis. Operating profit totals DKK 235.3m. The most recent expectations for operating profit were DKK 210 – 230m. The expected profit was announced in connection with the publication of the interim report for 2009. The profit for the year was not affected by unusual circumstances other than the ones mentioned above. Net income from interest and charges The Bank’s results may be specified as follows: Beløb i 1.000 kr 2009 2008 458.836 359.507 -87 1.233 216.127 198.019 7.273 7.721 235.349 155.000 Market value adjustment 16.277 -78.657 Impairment og loans and receivables, ect. -11.315 -1.215 Other expenses excl.

Operating profits Uncertainty connected with recognition and measurement Uncertainty connected with recognition and measurement is mainly linked to impairment losses on loans. The Bank constantly seeks to improve its methods for recognition and measurement thereof, but the management assesses uncertainty to be at a level that is insignificant to the Annual Report. Reference is made to Note 1 on accounting policies for further information. 2009 A satisfactory year after all Development in activities and financial affairs 2009 was a year of very difficult market conditions for 4 Tax Next profit of the year The financial problems that started in 2008 can now be seen in the economic situation, resulting in difficult market conditions. Unemployment and the number of bankruptcies are rising, spurring a falling level of activity in society in general. Therefore, the willingness to invest and, hence, the demand for loans and credits fell throughout 2009. The crisis has implications for a wide range of sectors, but the Management Review agricultural sector in particular finds it difficult to generate an income and has therefore contributed to increasing impairment losses on loans etc. Private customers experience falling prices on realestate. This affects private consumption which is therefore lower than in previous years, resulting in falling demand for housing and car financing etc. In 2010 when the Danish tax reform takes effect, this is expected to have a positive impact on private consumption and therefore stabilise the demand for loans. Business as well as private customers show a general increase in savings, which is also the main cause of a significant increase in the Bank’s deposits in 2009. However, despite the macroeconomic challenges, the considerable influx of new customers and the purchase of four branches of EBH Bank meant that the Bank’s total DKK 1.000 kr. 7.000.000 6.000.000 5.000.000 4.000.000 3.000.000 2.000.000 1.000.000 0 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Loans Deposits loans in 2009 increased by DKK 270m, corresponding to an increase of 4.7 per cent as compared to 2008. At the end of the year, the Bank’s total loans are DKK 6.0bn. One of the Bank’s focus points for the past years was to create a better balance between deposits and loans, a strategy that has now been successful. Combined with the positive capital mix and liquidity situation, this means that the future strategy for controlled growth in loans in the Bank’s natural area of activity can continue in the years to come. Profit for the year Satisfactory development in core earnings In 2009, the Bank realised a very satisfactory development in net interest and fee income. With an increase of DKK 99.3m to DKK 458.8m, they exceed the budget expectations. Net interest income rose in 2009 by 33.5 per cent to DKK 333.4m against DKK 249.7m in 2008. Net fee income increased by DKK 15.5m, corresponding to 14.6 per cent. These increases primarily resulted from a substantially lower funding rate, a general expansion of the interest rate differential and rising sales of the Bank’s products and services. It is particularly satisfactory to see such an impressive increase in a market where the demand for services has generally been falling. The Bank’s considerable influx of new customers and continued positive sales to existing customers compensated for the general fall in demand. In 2009, staff costs and administrative expenses are close to the budget. The increase from 2008 to 2009 totals DKK 18.1m, corresponding to 9.1 per cent, primarily due to the regulation of wages provided for by collective agreements, the general price development and wages to former employees taken over together with the four branches. Depreciation and amortisation of and impairment losses on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment fell from DKK 7.7m in 2008 to DKK 7.3m in 2009. This development was partly caused by the reclassification of several business premises to investment properties in connection with the construction of new business premises in the subsidiaries which means that depreciation must no longer be provided for the premises. This item was also positively influenced by reversed depreciation of DKK 0.7m on divested business premises. In 2009, the financial markets regained some of the lost level from 2008. The Bank has positive market value adjustments for shares as well as bonds in 2009. Of the total market value adjustments of DKK 16.3m, a total of DKK 10.7m relate to the bond portfolio and DKK 7.2m to the shareholding. Adjustments of investment properties to fair value resulted in negative market value adjustments totalling DKK 5.2m. Other market value adjustments, including for currency positions, total DKK 3.6m. At the end of the year, the Bank’s shareholding totals DKK 299.5m of which DKK 45.5m are listed shares and DKK 254.0m are sector shares etc. At the end of the year, the bond portfolio totals DKK 2.0bn of which DKK 1.2bn are measured at amortised cost. These bonds must be held to maturity and must not be adjusted in the income state- 5 Management Review ment but must be amortised over their term. Impairment losses on loans etc. are severely affected by the financial crisis and the negative economic conditions, rising from DKK 39.0m in 2008 to DKK 179.2m in 2009. Of the total impairment losses on loans etc., a total of DKK 19.5m can be attributed to the joint guarantee under Bank Rescue Package I. Participation in Bank Rescue Package I also means that the Bank shares the joint obligation to cover any losses in failing banks wound up by the government winding-up company, Finansiel Stabilitet A/S. The Bank’s share of this obligation is approximately 0.41 per cent. The maximum cost is approximately DKK 83m for the full period. Accordingly, total commission and guarantee costs cannot exceed DKK 145.3m of which DKK 41.5m are only relevant if the total loss for the financial sector exceeds DKK 25bn. The Bank does not expect that these DKK 41.5m will be required. The monthly commission of DKK 2.6m therefore totals DKK 30.2m of the total amount recognised under ”Other operating costs”. The operating item ”Impairment losses on loans etc.” was affected by provisions for losses on guarantees of DKK 19.5m. The Bank’s financial statements for 2009 were affected by total costs for Bank Rescue Package I of DKK 49.6m. Impairment losses for the year correspond to 1.89 per cent of total loans and guarantees. The Bank’s accumulated impairment losses and provisions total DKK 308.7m, corresponding to 3.2 per cent of the total loans and guarantees. The Bank’s portfolio of loans is generally strong, but as a consequence of the changed economic conditions, the Bank has reassessed the commitments of selected customers in line with the changed risks. This resulted in the preparation of action plans in collaboration with the individual customers, the purpose being to prevent or limit a possible loss. Despite a prudent credit policy and a reasonably limited market area, defined as Vendsyssel, it must be expected that, due to the anticipated development in economic conditions, losses will be comparatively high in the coming year as well. Bank Rescue Package I Together with most other Danish banks, Sparekassen Vendsyssel joined the two-year government guarantee scheme that came into force on 1 October 2008. The scheme is managed by the Private Contingency Association, and the Bank’s monthly commission payment to the scheme totals DKK 2.6m until 30 September 2010 when the scheme expires. The Bank will then have paid DKK 62.4m to the scheme. 6 Profit before tax totals DKK 30.7m against DKK 27.3m in 2008. The Bank’s balance sheet etc. In 2009, the Bank’s balance sheet increased by DKK 1.1bn, corresponding to 14.4, per cent as compared to the end of 2008, and now totals DKK 9.1bn. The primary explanation for the growing balance sheet is a major increase in deposits (excl. pools) of as much as DKK 1.3bn or 27.1 per cent to a total of DKK 6.0bn. Loans rose by a mere DKK 275.2m or 4.8 per cent to DKK 6.0bn. Liquidity from the increase in deposits is widely placed in short-dated bonds and the total bond portfolio therefore increased by approximately DKK 886m. Subordinated debt rose from DKK 84.9m in 2008 to DKK 321.3m in 2009. The rise was caused by the taking up of a government capital contribution of DKK 235m and the issue of employee bonds. Total equity fell from DKK 1.33bn in 2008 to DKK 1.28bn in 2009. The fall is attributable to the guarantee capital where guarantee capital in the amount of DKK 237.5m was paid in 2009, and new issues were effected in the amount of DKK 168m, resulting in a negative impact on the guarantee capital of DKK 69.5m. Management Review At the end of 2009, the guarantee capital comprises: 1000 kr. % Hellevad-Ørum Sparekasse's fund 19.003 2,7 Brovst Sparekasse's fund 39.925 5,7 Jerslev Sparekasse's fund 62.029 8,8 Ulsted Sparekasse's fund 60.000 8,5 The Private Contingency Association 38.528 5,5 219.485 31,2 23,422 other guarantors with a maximum of DKK 0.250m each 484.728 68,8 Total guarantee capital, 31/122009 704.213 100,0 At the end of 2009, the Bank’s total guarantee capital comprises DKK 704.2m divided among approximately 23,400 guarantors. According to the Bank’s articles of association, a guarantor’s guarantee capital may not exceed DKK 250,000. Funds from merged savings banks and the Danish government are excluded from this rule. The monthly payment to the Private Contingency Association relating to Bank Rescue Package I is settled with guarantee capital. Capital adequacy The Bank’s weighted items are calculated on the basis of the standard method for credit and market risks and the basic indicator method for operational risks. The Bank finds that there is currently no need to use more advanced methods to determine the Bank’s solvency. The Bank will regularly assess the need and strive to gradually introduce more advanced models in risk management. The capital base totals DKK 1.5bn which with risk-weighted items totalling DKK 8.4bn, gives a solvency ratio of 18.0 per cent. The core capital rate is 17.4 per cent. In addition to calculating the actual solvency rate, the Bank must determine its individual solvency requirement. The assumptions underlying this calculation and a description of the method can be found in a separate statement published on the Bank’s website on www.sparv.dk. The Bank’s solvency ratio must always exceed the individual solvency requirement, however always at least 8 per cent. Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s individual solvency requirement is determined at 8.0 per cent. The Bank’s solvency equity therefore totals as much as 10 percentage points. Accordingly, the actual capital base exceeds the capital requirement by more than DKK 840.9m. The Bank is therefore well capitalised at the end of 2009. Under the Executive Order on Capital Adequacy, banks must publish various information on risk exposure etc. Sparekassen Vendsyssel has chosen to publish this information on its website,www.sparv.dk. For further information, see this website. Bank Rescue Package II In 2009, the Bank applied for and subsequently received DKK 235m as hybrid core capital. The interest rate is determined at 9.58 per cent, incl. a risk surcharge of 0.75 per cent. In 2009, the Bank concluded an agreement with the Danish government through Finansiel Stabilitet A/S, ensuring that the Bank can execute funding with a state guarantee of up to a total of DKK 2bn and a term of up to three years. Liquidity The Bank’s liquidity is good and at the end of 2009, the liquidity reserve exceeded the statutory requirement by 178.4 per cent. In 2008, the Bank was granted a credit line of DKK 550m at Danmarks Nationalbank based on excess solvency. This credit line is expected to lapse on 30 September 2010 upon the expiry of Bank Rescue Package I. The liquidity reserve excl. this credit line is approximately 127 per cent. It is the policy of the Bank to hold liquidity reserves that exceed the requirement in Section 152(1)(ii) of the Danish Financial Business Act (lov om finansiel virksomhed) by at least 40 per cent. Moreover, it is the overall objective of the Bank that loans to customers should be financed via deposits, incl. pools, and the Bank’s guarantee capital. At the end of 2009, deposits and guarantee capital in relation to loans was 112.5 per cent. The Bank’s objective has therefore been met. The Bank regularly stress tests its liquidity and aims to 7 Management Review maintain sufficient liquidity reserves to be resilient to a tough stress scenario in which a large share of its financing cannot be refinanced. It is estimated that the expiry of Bank Rescue Package I may lead to a generally lower supply of liquidity. The Bank took this into account when it set up the credit limit of DKK 2bn mentioned above. Consolidated financial statements Sparekassen Vendsyssel prepared its first consolidated financial statements in 2008. Besides the parent company Sparekassen Vendsyssel, the Group comprises the fully owned subsidiary Ejendomsselskabet Vendsyssel ApS, the fully owned company Holdingsselskabet af 9. maj 1983 A/S and the fully owned company Ulsted Invest A/S. These three companies own and operate some of the Bank’s business premises and investment properties. Audit committee As provided by Danish legislation, Sparekassen Vendsyssel has appointed an audit committee. The committee comprises four Board members. The chairman of the audit committee, Søren Vad Sørensen, is the independent and qualified member. Based on Søren Vad Sørensen’s business experience and training as state-authorised public accountant, the Bank’s Board of Directors assessed that he has the required qualifications, cf. Danish Executive Order on Audit Committees in Undertakings and Groups Subject to Supervision by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (Bekendtgørelse om revisionsudvalg i virksomheder samt koncerner, der er underlagt tilsyn af Finanstilsynet). The committee’s tasks include: Supervision of the financial reporting process Supervision of whether the Bank’s internal control system, internal audit and risk management systems are efficient Supervision of the statutory audit of the Annual Report etc. Supervision and control of the auditor’s independence. The committee meets upon the request of one of its members and a meeting is expected to be held four times a year. Furthermore, the committee meets upon the request of the internal or external auditor. 8 Corporate Governance Sparekassen Vendsyssel has considered the Danish Bankers Association’s recommendations for good corporate governance and external audit relating to parts of the Corporate Governance recommendations. Our attitude to both sets of recommendations is generally positive, as Sparekassen Vendsyssel and our stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers and the local community) and their interaction form the basis of the Bank’s continued positive development. As a local bank, we focus particularly on personal customer contact and as our business depends on our ability to live up to the customers’ trust and security, it is important that we consider our stakeholders’ requests. We comply with most of the recommendations, and Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s reasoning for not complying with certain recommendations is explained in detail in accordance with a ”comply or explain” principle. We comply with the Danish Bankers’ Association’s recommendations in accordance with the ”comply or explain” principle, and we have explained the individual items for which we have chosen not to comply with the recommendations. For the Board of Directors’ general view on corporate governance, see www.sparv.dk. Events after the end of the financial year No events have occurred from the balance sheet date up to this date that materially influence the assessment of the Annual Report for 2009. Outlook for 2010 The current financial situation makes it more difficult than usual to estimate the results for the coming financial year. The increase in the number of bankruptcies means that more people now find themselves without a job. Furthermore, the number of forced property sales is high, and private consumption has fallen. On the other hand, it is positive that many people with variable interest mortgage loans can look forward to a significant lowering of interest rates. Also, the tax reform with its inherent tax reliefs holds prospect of increased financial latitude. Despite this, there is still great uncertainty in relation to the financial development. The positive development in the Bank’s influx of customers is expected to continue in 2010 with a subsequent increase Management Review in income. Costs are expected to increase moderately. The Bank’s management expects operating profit to be DKK 230 – 250m. Risks Under the capital adequacy rules, banks must publish certain risk information (the so-called Pillar III information). The present Annual Report contains some of this information (Note 2) whereas all information is published in a risk report on the Bank’s website www.sparv.dk. As a bank, Sparekassen Vendsyssel has various types of risks such as credit, market, liquidity and operational risks. Credit risk can be defined as the risk that amounts owed by customers are deemed to be irrecoverable due to the customers’ inability or unwillingness to pay at the agreed time. Particular risks The Bank’s management finds that the Bank is not exposed to particular business or financial risks. The primary business and financial risk types related to the operation of the Bank comprise credit risk on lending, market risk on the security portfolio and operational risks. Reference is made to Note 2 for a more detailed description of the various types of risks and their management. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Pursuant to Section 135 of the Danish Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions Listed on the Stock Exchange (Bekendtgørelse om finansielle rapporter for kreditinstitutter, der er børsnoterede), the Annual Report for 2009 must include a report on corporate social responsibility. For market risks, changes in the Bank’s assets and liabilities and equity due to changed market conditions are assessed. In terms of liquidity risks, the Bank’s ability to live up to its payment obligations under the Bank’s liquidity resources are assessed. Operational risks comprise the risk that the Bank may suffer financial losses due to errors in internal procedures and systems and human errors in connection with external events. They can be either direct or indirect losses. In the risk areas mentioned above, the Bank’s overall policy is to take on only such risks that comply with the business procedures underlying the Bank’s operations and which the Bank has resources to manage. The Bank regularly develops its tools for identification and management of the risks affecting the Bank’s operations. Supervision and management of the Bank’s risks are effected in the Bank’s staff function under the framework provided by the Board of Directors. Supervision results are reported to the Bank’s Executive Board and Board of Directors. Although Sparekassen Vendsyssel is not listed on the stock exchange, we still focus on the executive order. The reporting must be made in accordance with the ”comply or explain” principle. Sparekassen Vendsyssel has followed the debate on corporate social responsibility with great interest and we regularly consider the areas comprised by the executive order. The Bank’s management has not yet prepared an actual report on the Bank’s CSR but with its considerable anchoring in and support from the local community, the Bank has on several occasions and for many decades shown great corporate social responsibility. The Bank has launched many initiatives that naturally fall under CSR. Accordingly, the Bank assumes a corporate social responsibility in some areas of the local community and in many ways complies with the ethical business behaviour that is implied by CSR activities. In 2010, the Bank expects to prepare a report on the Bank’s corporate social responsibility which will subsequently be published on the Bank’s website www.sparv.dk. 9 Statement by the management on the Annual Report The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have on this day considered and adopted the Annual Report of Sparekassen Vendsyssel for 2009. The Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act and the Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions etc. (bekendtgørelse om finansielle rapporter for kreditinstitutter m.fl). In our opinion, the accounting policies applied are appro- priate and the Annual Report presents fairly Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s assets and liabilities and equity and financial position and the results of the Bank’s and the Group’s operations in the 2009 financial year. The management’s review furthermore presents fairly the development in the Bank’s and the Group’s activities and financial affairs and a description of material risks and uncertainties that may affect the Bank and the Group.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements of the parent and the Group and the management’s review The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the parent and the Group in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act and the Danish Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions and Investment Companies etc. and a management’s review containing a fair presentation in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the parent and the Group and a management’s review that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. The auditors’ responsibility and basis of opinion Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of the parent and the Group and the management’s review based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Danish Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical require- ments and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the parent and the Group and the management’s review are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements of the parent and the Group and the management’s review. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the parent and the Group, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the enterprise’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the parent and the Group and the management’s review in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the enterprise’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements of the parent and the Group. In our opinion, the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and provides an appropriate basis for our opinion. Our audit has not resulted in any qualifications. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements of the parent and the Group present fairly the Group’s and the parent company’s assets, liabilities and equity and financial position as at 31 December 2009 and the results of the Group’s and parent company’s operations for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2009 in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act. Furthermore, in our opinion, the management’s review comprises a fair presentation in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act.

On initial recognition, assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. However, on initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each item below. Accounting policies The Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act and the Danish Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions and Investment Companies etc. The Annual Report is presented in DKK thousands. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of last year. Recognition and measurement Assets are recognised in the balance sheet if, as a result of a previous event, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Bank and the value of such assets can be measured reliably. Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the Bank, as a result of a previous event, has incurred legal or constructive liabilities and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from the Bank and the value of such liabilities can be measured reliably. Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost, applying a constant effective rate of interest to maturity. Amortised cost is computed as original cost less any principal repayments and less/plus accumulated amortisation of the difference between cost and nominal value. The Bank does not apply the new rules on reclassification of certain financial assets from fair value to amortised cost. Hence, all financial assets measured at amortised cost were originally acquired for the purpose of keeping the relevant asset to maturity. Purchase and sale of financial instruments are recognised 16 On recognition and measurement, account is taken of foreseeable risks and losses arising before the time at which the Annual Report is presented and proving or disproving matters arising on or before the balance sheet date. Income is recognised in the income statement as earned, while costs are recognised in the form of the amounts which pertain to the financial year. Increases in the value of business premises are, however, recognised directly in equity. Accounting estimates The calculation of the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities is related to an estimate of how future events affect the value of these assets and liabilities. Such estimates are made by the Bank’s management in accordance with the accounting policies and on the basis of historical experience as well as assumptions that are deemed to be proper and realistic by the management. The areas that involve a higher degree of assessment or complexity or areas in which assumptions and estimates are material to the Annual Report are: Impairment loss on loans and receivables where signifi- cant estimates are involved in the quantification of the risk that all future payments are not received. Furthermore, it should be noted that Group impairment losses are still subject to some uncertainty, as the Bank has only a limited historic data basis on which to base the calculations. Provisions for losses on guarantees for which significant estimates are related to the quantification of the risk that payments under the guarantee will be made. Listed financial instruments that may be priced in lowsale markets, hence involving some uncertainty in the use of stock exchange prices when measuring at fair Note 1 – Accounting policies value. Unlisted financial instruments for which significant esti- mates are related to the measurement of fair value. The values of properties are assessed on the basis of the provisions in the Danish Executive Order on the Presentation of Financial Statements but the individual factors in the calculation are based on an estimate. Measurement of goodwill The management finds that no other uncertainty exists in relation to recognition and measurement. Determination of fair values The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing and mutually independent parties in an arm’s length transaction. Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange at the date of transaction. Gains and losses that arise between the rate on the date of transaction and on the date of payment are recognised in the income statement under market value adjustments. Balance sheet items are recognised at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Differences that arise between the rate in effect on the balance sheet date and the rate at the date of the transaction are recognised in the income statement under market value adjustments. Consolidation Consolidation is made for Sparekassen Vendsyssel and its subsidiaries Ejendomsselskabet Vendsyssel ApS, Holdingselskabet af 9. maj 1983 A/S and Ulsted Invest A/S. These companies are fully consolidated on preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Consolidation principles The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the Annual Reports of Sparekassen Vendsyssel and its subsidiaries and by adding up items of a uniform nature. On consolidation, intercompany income and costs, internal accounts and profits and losses on transactions between group enterprises are eliminated. The financial statements used for consolidation are prepared in accordance with the Bank’s (parent company’s) accounting policies. Investments in subsidiaries are eliminated at the pro rata share of the subsidiary’s net assets at the time of acquisition, stated at fair value. Income statement Interest, fees and commission Interest income and expenses are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they relate. Interest income from loans written down for impairment is recognised in the income statement under ”impairment loss on loans etc.” Establishment fees relating to loans are recognised as an integrated share of the effective rate of interest on the loan. Establishment fees are accrued over the term of the loan. The accrued amount is recognised in interest income. Other fees are recognised in the income statement at the date of the transaction. Fees for the distribution of mortgage loans from Totalkredit are recognised in accordance with the set-off model. According to the set-off model, such fees are recognised at the time of taking up the loan, and fees for services provided regularly to the borrower are recognised as and when the Bank provides such services, thus earning the right to the fee. Totalkredit may only set off realised losses in future regular commission income for the first eight years of the mortgage loan. Any set-off is recognised at the time of the onerous event. Staff costs and administrative expenses Staff costs comprise wages and salaries as well as social security costs, pensions etc. Sparekassen Vendsyssel has entered into defined contribution pension plans with most of its employees. These plans involve fixed contributions to an external pension company. Tax Tax for the year, comprising current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax, is recognised in the income statement for the portion attributable to the profit or loss for the year, and charged directly against equity for the portion attributable to entries taken directly to equity. The current tax payable or receivable is recognised in the balance sheet and has been calculated as the tax payable on the year’s taxable income, adjusted for tax paid on account. Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences between the value of assets and liabilities for accounting 17 Note 1 – Accounting policies purposes and tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised in the balance sheet at the value at which the assets are expected to be realisable, either by set-off against deferred tax liabilities or as net assets. Sparekassen Vendsyssel is jointly taxed with Ejendomsselskabet Vendsyssel ApS and Ulsted Invest A/S. The current tax is distributed on the jointly taxed companies in relation to their taxable income (full distribution with reimbursement concerning tax losses). Corporation tax is paid at a rate of 25 per cent. Balance sheet Receivables from and amounts owed to credit institutions and central banks Receivables from credit institutions and central banks comprise receivables from other credit institutions and central banks. Amounts owed to credit institutions and central banks comprise loans from other credit institutions. Receivables are measured at fair value. Debt is measured at amortised cost. Loans On initial recognition, listed loans and loans included in trading portfolios are measured at fair value. Other loans are measured at amortised cost, usually equalling nominal value less establishment fees and less impairment for expected but not yet realised losses. Loans and receivables to business customers are reviewed on an annual basis, as such loans are considered significant. Furthermore, loans and receivables are reviewed regularly to regularly identify loans with an objective indication of impairment. Write-downs for impairment on loans are made individually as well as for groups of commitments. Write-downs for impairment are effected where there is an objective indication of impairment. Expected future payments from borrowers with financial problems are stated based on the most probable outcome, including the value of any security provided. Expected payments are set out in payment series and discounted to present value. For fixed-interest receivables, the originally determined rate of interest is used, and for variable-interest receivables, the current rate of interest is used. The impairment loss comprises the difference between the carrying amount before the writedown and the present value of expected future payments 18 on the loan, including the realisable value of any security provided. For individual write-downs for impairment, an objective indication of impairment is deemed to be present e.g.: When the borrower has significant financial problems such as negative equity, negative earnings. In the event of the borrower’s breach of contract, e.g. in the form of failure to pay interest and instalments. The Bank grants the borrower more lenient terms that would not have been considered had it not been due to the borrower’s financial problems. The borrower is likely to go bankrupt or be subject to other types of financial reconstruction For loans and receivables that have not been written down for impairment individually, a group assessment is made to establish whether an objective indication of impairment has occurred for the group. The group assessment is made on groups of loans and receivables with similar characteristics in relation to credit risk. The 11 relevant groups comprise one group of public authorities, one group of private customers and nine groups of business customers, divided into sector groups. The group assessment is made using a segmentation model developed by The Association of Local Banks, Savings Banks and Cooperative Banks in Denmark, which association is responsible for ongoing maintenance and development. The segmentation model determines the relationship in the individual groups between realised losses and a number of significant explanatory macroeconomic variables via a linear regression analysis. The explanatory macroeconomic variables include unemployment, housing prices, interest rates, number of bankruptcies/ forced property sales etc. Fundamentally, the macroeconomic segmentation model is computed on the basis of loss data for the entire banking sector. Sparekassen Vendsyssel therefore assessed whether the model estimates reflect the credit risk for the Bank’s own loan portfolio. Sparekassen Vendsyssel finds that the model estimates are appropriate for the Bank’s circumstances. The model estimates provide the background for the calculation of group write-downs for impairment. Each group of Note 1 – Accounting policies loans and receivables generates an estimate expressing the percentage impairment related to a certain group of loans and receivables at the balance sheet date. A comparison of the existing loss risk to the original loss risk of the individual loan and the loss risk of the loan at the beginning of the relevant financial period generates the contribution of the individual loan to the group write-down for impairment. The impairment loss is computed as the difference between the carrying amount and the discounted value of expected future payments. means that investments are measured at their pro rata share of the enterprises’ carrying amount plus the carrying amount of goodwill. For group enterprises, a deduction or premium is included for unrealised intercompany profits and losses. Goodwill is the positive difference between the cost of acquired investments and Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s share of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition. Goodwill is tested on an annual basis for impairment and written down to a lower value, if appropriate. Total impairment losses during the year and reversal of previous impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. The pro rata share of the enterprises’ profits or losses after tax less any impairment losses for goodwill is recognised in the income statement. Bonds Bonds traded in active markets are measured at fair value. The fair value is stated using the closing price for the market in question at the balance sheet date. Redeemed bonds are measured at present value. Net revaluation of ”Investments in group enterprises” is transferred to statutory reserves to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds cost. Impairment losses are recognised under and deducted from any positive statutory reserves, provided that there is a reserve against which they can be offset. Bonds held to maturity are measured at amortised cost. This means that the difference between cost and the redemption price of the asset is accrued over the remaining term. This difference and the current addition of interest are recognised in the income statement as a constant effective rate of interest over the term. Market fluctuations in the price of such bonds are thus not recognised in market value adjustments. Shares Shares traded in active markets are measured at fair value. The fair value is stated using the closing price at the balance sheet date. Unlisted shares are valued at fair value. The determination of fair value is based on available transactions in investments in the relevant enterprise or a value in use based on an assessment of expected future earnings or, alternatively, equity value. Where no reliable fair value can be identified, valuation is alternatively effected at cost less any impairment loss. Investments in associates and group enterprises An associate is an enterprise in which Sparekassen Vendsyssel can exercise significant influence but not control. A group enterprise is an enterprise in which Sparekassen Vendsyssel can exercise control. Investments in associates and group enterprises are recognised and measured according to the equity method. This Intangible assets Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Goodwill is assessed every time the accounts are closed and written down in the event of impairment. Property, plant and equipment On initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost. Cost includes the acquisition price, costs directly related to the acquisition, and expenses of making ready the asset until the time it is ready to be put into operation. Properties The Group’s properties are divided into investment properties and properties used by Sparekassen Vendsyssel itself for administration or branches or otherwise used by staff. After initial recognition, business premises are assessed according to their revaluation value, which is the fair value at the time of revaluation less depreciation and impairment loss. This means that a calculation is made for each property where elements such as estimated rent per sq.m., fixed expenses for real property tax, insurance, administration, maintenance etc. are included. The calculated annual return on the relevant property is discounted at a rate of interest corresponding to the return requirement for the relevant property. When determining the return requirement, the location of the property is decisive. Revaluation 19 Note 1 – Accounting policies is made so frequently that there are no material differences in relation to fair value. The basis of depreciation for the Bank’s business premises is the revalued amount less expected scrap value. Business premises are subject to straight-line depreciation over an expected useful life of 50 years. However, special fixtures in the business premises are depreciated over a useful life of 15 years. Increases in the revalued amounts of business premises are recognised under revaluation reserves under equity. Any decrease in value is recognised in the income statement with the exception of reversals of previous revaluations. Investment properties include properties not classified as the Bank’s business premises. A calculation is made for each investment property in accordance with the same model as for business premises. Changes in fair value for investment properties are recognised in the income statement. No depreciation is made for land. Other property, plant and equipment Other property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Straight-line depreciation is provided over an expected useful life of 3-20 years. Hybrid core capital Hybrid core capital is measured at amortised cost. Costs, including front-end fee, which are directly related to taking up the hybrid core capital, are deducted from the initial fair value and amortised over the remaining term of the hybrid capital. The management finds that the hybrid core capital will be repaid within five years of the date of payment, and the step-up clause relating to the adjustment of any unpaid debt will therefore not be included in the measurement. Provisions Provisions, guarantees and other liabilities that are uncertain in respect of size or settlement date are recognised as provisions when it is probable that such liabilities will result in a drain on Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s financial resources and they can be measured reliably. The liability is stated at the present value of the costs that are required to meet it. Financial derivatives Financial derivatives are measured at fair value, which is generally based on listed market prices. If the instruments are not listed, fair value is calculated according to generally accepted principles founded on market-based parameters. Financial derivatives are recognised under other assets or liabilities and equity, respectively. Assets in temporary possession Assets held for sale comprise non-current assets or groups of assets etc. to be divested in a transaction within 12 months, the value of which is primarily recovered through this transaction. Assets are measured at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs, and any impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. No further depreciation takes place for assets classified as ”held for sale”. Assets held for sale are shown on a separate line in the balance sheet, and any related liabilities are also stated. Lease commitments Payments relating to operating leases and other leases are recognised in the income statement over the term of the contract. Issued bonds Issued bonds are measured at amortised cost. Costs incurred in connection with the issue are charged to the income statement as the loan is repaid, so that the effective rate of interest for the issued bonds is maintained throughout the term. Financial highlights Financial highlights are presented in accordance with the requirement in the Danish Executive Order on the Presentation of Financial Statements. Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, which usually corresponds to nominal value. 20 Deferred income Deferred income includes income received before the balance sheet date but relating to subsequent financial periods. The amount comprises only prepaid guarantee commission. Note 2 – Financial risks and policies and objectives relating to the management of financial risks Financial risks and policies and objectives relating to the management of financial risks The Bank is exposed to various types of risk. The primary risk types are credit risk on lending and market risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, share risk, liquidity risk and property risk. The following describes the Bank’s credit risks, the various market risks and operational risks. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the Bank will suffer a loss due to other parties being unable to meet their obligations. The Bank’s Board of Directors has laid down the framework for the Bank’s total credit risk, partly in instructions to the Board of Executives and partly in a general credit policy. The Board of Executives has allocated credit lines to relevant persons. Credit risk of non-financial counterparties The operational responsibility for the management of the Bank’s credit risk on non-financial counterparties is handled by the Bank’s credit unit. The credit exposure is supervised in the credit unit and by the Executive Board. The Board of Directors receives regular reports on risks and the distribution on sectors and segments. Credit policy A specific credit policy has been prepared and adopted by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The aim of the credit policy is to strike a balance between earnings and risk. The primary customer groups are private individuals, agricultural customers and small and medium-sized enterprises in a market area where the Bank is represented by a branch. Customers with a geographical location outside the Bank’s primary area are assumed to have some other relation to the Bank or its employees. Credit is granted on the basis of a thorough financial insight into the customer’s affairs. In Sparekassen Vendsyssel, we do not use credit score models. Follow-up and management A central credit unit regularly monitors developments in the credit quality of exposures. This unit regularly carries out systematic control of the Bank’s entire portfolio of exposures. For exposures that develop negatively, the customer manager prepares a separate action plan, possibly in collaboration with the credit unit. Weak exposures Individual impairment losses on exposures are made when it is probable based on objective criteria that the customer will not in full or in part be able to repay loans or credits. The internal risk management and reporting uses a wider definition of risk than impairment losses. For a further definition, see “Internal risk” below. Risk spreading The distribution of the Bank’s loan and guarantee portfolio on business sectors can be seen in the list on the next page. The largest individual industry group is loans and guarantee commitments to agriculture, the fishing industry and forestry. The Bank’s primary market area is characterised by the fact that agriculture in particular is a dominant business and therefore, it is also natural that the Bank’s loans and guarantee commitments for this industry form a material share of the overall balance sheet. In connection with its co-ownership of the mortgage credit institution DLR Kredit A/S, the Bank is further exposed to the sector.

Therefore, the distribution for 2009 is not comparable with 2008. holding in DLR Kredit A/S total DKK 153.1m. Loans and guarantee commitments for property administration also comprise a significant share of total loans and guarantees. This was, among other things, distributed on a considerable number of limited partnerships which focused on financing of a solid and return-generating asset as well as some wealthy limited partners who are liable for the Bank’s loans and guarantee commitments. Major exposures The Executive Board as well as the Board of Directors particularly focus on the development in the number and amounts of the Bank’s largest exposures. At the end of 2009, the Bank’s 20 biggest exposures totalled DKK 1.5bn, corresponding to 99.9 per cent of the core capital after deductions. Only one exposure exceeds 10 per cent of the Bank’s core capital. Internal risk According to the impairment rules stipulated in Sections 22 51-54 of the Danish Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions which state that write-downs for impairment are only effected in the event of objective indications of impairment, not all the Bank’s credit risks are reflected in losses and impairment losses. Consequently, the Bank prepares a separate statement of the internal risk calculated on the basis of the size of the individual exposure, the value of any security provided and a prudent assessment of future ability to pay. Furthermore, the Bank regularly assesses other weak exposures which do not yet show any objective indications of impairment. These assessments are based on a principle of prudency. The internal credit risk of impairment and weak exposures is termed excess risk and corresponds to the amount reserved for credit risk in the statement of the individual solvency requirement. At the end of 2009, the excess risk totals DKK 480.4m, which amount comprises the outcome of a stress test of the Bank’s total loans and guarantees and a capital reserve for customers with financial prob- Note 2 – Financial risks and policies and objectives relating to the management of financial risks lems. Furthermore, a total of DKK 47.6m has been recognised to meet the risk from the agriculture segment. At the end of 2009, the corrective account was DKK 308.7m, which means that a total of DKK 789.1m has been provided to cover the Bank’s credit risk. For the agriculture segment, the corrective account and the excess risk totalled DKK 71.3m and 155.5m at the end of 2009, corresponding to 13.7 per cent of total loans and guarantees to the segment. 2009 and national expectations for increasing pig and milk prices, there is hope that developments will improve. This has been relevant for mink skins and the pig quotation in February 2010. For private customers, individual write-downs for impairment have been effected if the customer has breached the exposure. A current assessment of the value of the provided security has been recognised in the calculation of impairment losses. Impairment losses The assumptions underlying the calculations of impairment losses are described in “Accounting policies”, Note 1. Group write-downs Group write-downs for impairment of loan portfolios are made when loan portfolios disclose objective impairment indications. For the calculation of these group writedowns for impairment, a mathematical and statistical model prepared by the Association of Local Banks, Savings Banks and Cooperative Banks in Denmark is used. The model has been verified as valid by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, and the Bank has assessed that the model’s estimates fit its own circumstances. Individual impairment losses The Bank’s individual impairment losses rose drastically in 2009. Particularly under agriculture, fishing industry and forestry, considerable impairment losses have been recognised. The development in the agricultural sector means that is has been difficult to create profitability in a farm unit and the land values have been under pressure. However, with the considerable fall in interest rates in The calculation of group write-downs for impairment includes a number of objective factors such as unemployLoans and guarantees before impairment losses / provisions Individual impairment losses and provisions Group impairment losses Impairment losses and provisions in % of loans and guarantees 205,9 0,0 0,0 0,00 1.657,2 70,7 0,5 4,30 53,3 0,0 0,0 0,00 Manufacturing, raw material extraction, power plants, gas and water works etc. 557,8 9,8 1,7 2,06 Building and construction 587,8 21,9 4,7 4,53 Commerce, restaurants and hotels 647,8 21,5 3,6 3,88 Transport, postal service and telephony 182,6 14,0 0,2 7,76 Credit, finance and insurance 275,9 43,8 0,1 15,93 Property administration and sale, business service 956,8 16,3 0,4 1,74 Other trade and industry 519,5 36,0 0,9 7,10 Private business 3.848,0 61,0 1,6 1,63 Total 9.492,6 295,0 13,7 3,25 Public authorities Agriculture, hunting and forestry Fishing industry 23 Note 2 – Financial risks and policies and objectives relating to the management of financial risks ment figures, development in housing prices, interest rate development, forced property sales, bankruptcies, fuel prices etc. Resetting of interest rates At the end of 2009, loans with reset interest rates were recognised in the balance sheet at a total of DKK 43.7m. At the end of 2008, the amount was DKK 23.7m. Writedowns for impairment are effected for all exposures for which interest rates have been fully or partly reset. Such write-downs total DKK 193.8m. Loss development In 2009, the Bank realised a loss of DKK 10.1m of which DKK 8.9m had been written down for impairment. Conclusion – credit risk In 2009, the Bank saw a considerable increase in impairment losses and provisions that are primarily attributable to the agricultural sector. As mentioned previously, the reason is the very difficult situation for the agricultural sector with challenges in terms of farm unit returns and falling land prices. However, it should be noted that only a very small part of the amount is actually lost and in the event of an improvement in income, particularly in the agricultural sector, it will be possible to reverse and, hence, recognise as income, parts of the impairment losses. Market risks Market risk is the risk of changes in the market value of assets and liabilities and equity as a result of changes in market conditions. The Bank’s market risk includes interest rate risk, share risk and currency risk. The Bank’s Board of Directors lays down the overall political framework and principles of the risk management. The Board of Directors receives regular reports on the development in risks and the use of the allocated risk framework. Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s fundamental policy in relation to market risk is that it never takes on market risks that may affect its room for manoeuvre etc. For each type of market risk, the Bank has laid down a specific framework, and an element of risk assessment is therefore to ensure a reasonable balance between risk and return. The Bank’s total market risk is managed on the basis of instructions from the Board of Directors to the Board 24 of Executives. The Board of Directors regularly receives reports on the Bank’s market risks. Interest rate risk The risk is determined as the loss in the event of an increase in the interest rate level of one percentage point. Most of the interest rate risk stems from the bond portfolio, primarily Danish bonds, fixed-rate debt and, to a minor extent, fixed-interest deposits and loans. The Bank’s total interest rate risk amounts to DKK 27.8m, corresponding to 1.9 per cent of the core capital after deductions.In the determination of the total interest rate risk for bonds of DKK 39.6m, DKK 27.7m is attributable to the bond portfolio at amortised cost which does not directly affect operations as market value adjustments. On a daily basis, the Bank’s interest rate risk is managed by the liquidity unit. The financial unit monthly reports on the composition of the interest rate risk to the Bank’s Board of Directors and Executive Board. In 2009, the average of the total interest rate risk determined at the end of the month was 3.1 per cent. Risks on the property portfolio (indirect interest rate risk) Sparekassen Vendsyssel’s property portfolio comprises both business premises and investment properties. The Bank does not engage in the sale of real property as part of its day-to-day management. The value of a property is, among other factors, affected by the development in interest rates which means that there is an interest rate risk on the Bank’s property portfolio. At least once a year, the return on each property is calculated with a view to correct valuation thereof. Alternatively, an assessment is obtained from an individual external expert. Currency risk Sparekassen Vendsyssel does not accept major risks in the currency market at its own expense. The Bank’s total currency position amounts to DKK 68.7m, corresponding to 4.7 per cent of the core capital after deductions. The currency risk is primarily calculated on the basis of positions in EUR and NOK. Share risk Sparekassen Vendsyssel invests some of its assets in shares which are generally subject to greater risk than bonds. The Bank’s share portfolio consists of listed shares and investment funds with a total price of DKK 45.5m. In addition, Note 2 – Financial risks and policies and objectives relating to the management of financial risks the Bank has unlisted shares in a number of sector companies (DLR Kredit, PRAS, Sparinvest Holding, Egnsinvest Holding etc.) at a total of DKK 254.0. These unlisted shares are regarded as being outside the trading portfolio. In 2009, capital gains on shares totalled DKK 7.2m against a capital loss of DKK 35.4m in 2008. Liquidity risk Sparekassen Vendsyssel finances its activities via deposits, guarantee capital from customers and equity, and via the money market Money market funding is effected by raising traditional loans in other credit institutions and by issuing bonds and subordinated capital in both DKK and EUR. The Bank’s liquidity reserves are managed by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, liquid securities and credit facilities. The liquidity reserve is determined with a view to ensuring a stable and adequate liquidity level so that the Bank can meet its payment obligations in due time. The Executive Board regularly receives reports on the liquidity situation. Operational risks Sparekassen Vendsyssel wishes to limit operational risks, taking into account the associated costs. Internal procedures are based on written guidelines and descriptions. Processes are optimised on a current basis, and cross-organisational controls are carried out. To counter operational risks, internal procedures are regularly assessed by the Bank’s management, including whether other risks, e.g. in relation to the IT system, may have negative consequences for the Bank. Skandinavisk Data Center A/S (SDC) is the Bank’s primary IT service provider. The Bank’s IT contingency plan is assessed at least once a year by the Board of Directors. Sparekassen Vendsyssel has established a compliance function that is to help ensure that the Bank always meets external and internal requirements. In December 2009, the Bank received a guarantee via Bank Rescue Package II from Finansiel Stabilitet A/S. The Bank was given an opportunity to take up loans with a term of up to three years under this guarantee. The Board of Directors has decided that the Bank is to hold liquidity reserves that exceed the requirement in Section 152(1)(ii) of the Danish Financial Business Act by at least 40 per cent. At the end of 2009, the Bank’s excess liquidity reserves were 178.4 per cent. 25 Note 3 - 5 years financial highlights 5 years financial highlights - income Statement (Sparekassen Vendsyssel) 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 Net interest income 333.391 249.736 201.625 179.293 168.354 Fees and commissions received 125.445 109.771 97.254 79.907 65.445 458.836 359.507 299.148 259.200 233.799 16.277 -78.657 8.672 64.140 32.211 -87 1.233 1.941 694 1.065 216.127 198.019 184.606 165.549 131.789 7.273 7.721 8.425 6.329 6.340 Other operating charges 30.366 8.797 819 375 348 - Payment to the Private Contingency Association 30.189 8.605 0 0 0 179.203 39.042 -5.914 4.148 16.081 Profit on investments in associated and group enterprises -11.315 -1.215 1.562 14 208 Profit before tax 30.742 27.289 123.387 147.646 112.724 9.098 5.097 25.323 23.041 30.495 21.644 22.192 98.064 124.606 82.229 2009 2008 2007 Net interest income 331.118 248.213 200.011 Fees and commissions received 125.444 109.771 97.521 Net income from interest and charges 456.562 357.984 297.532 Market value adjustment 16.277 -78.657 8.672 Other operetion income 2.690 4.106 4.926 214.709 198.301 184.855 19.314 8.394 9.036 Other operating charges 30.366 8.797 819 - Payment to the Private Contingency Association 30.189 8.605 0 179.203 39.042 -5.914 -847 -1.513 842 31.090 27.386 123.176 9.446 5.194 25.115 21.644 22.192 98.064 Net income from interest and charges Market value adjustment Other operetion income Staffe costs and administrative expenses Impairment og loans and receivables, ect.

Note 2 describes the risks that the Bank is exposed to in detail. The diagram below shows the amounts that the Bank’s results and equity are expected to be affected by under market conditions that may very well become relevant. However, the interest rate risk in Sparekassen Vendsyssel is atypical compared to the normal view on the ratio, cf. the detailed explanation below. Interest rate risk At the end of 2009, the Bank’s interest rate risk is calculated at DKK 27.795m, corresponding to 1.9 per cent of the core capital. The majority of the total interest rate risk relates to bonds classified as “held to maturity” and must therefore not be value adjusted over the income statement. The fair value of the bonds will change if the interest rate changes, but only in the event that the bonds are sold, will the capital loss/gain be recognised. It seems unlikely that it will become necessary to sell these bonds, as they form the basis of the Bank’s liquidity reserves from time to time. The interest rate risk, excl. of the held-to-maturity portfolio, comprises 0.003 per cent of the core capital.
