Highlights of the attached interim report for the first half of 2010 of Alm.
Brand Pantebreve A/S:
• Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S posted a loss of DKK 46.5 million in H1 2010,
against a loss of DKK 22.3 million in the same period of last year.
• The performance was attributable to the adverse economic trends that led to
recognition of greater losses than expected and necessitated further
writedowns, particularly on Danish mortgage deeds.
• The performance was lifted by an unrealised gain on the mortgage deed
portfolio, which was primarily due to a fall in interest rates and an
unrealised foreign exchange gain on the hedging of Swedish kroner.
• Shareholders' equity stood at DKK 36.7 million at 30 June 2010, against DKK
83.2 million at 31 December 2009. The net asset value per share was DKK 22 at
30 June 2010, against DKK 50 at 31 December 2009.
• The company lowers its guidance from a full-year loss of DKK 60-70 million to
a loss of around DKK 80 million. If the performance materialises as expected,
the company's equity will only amount to DKK 5 million.
