Earnings before tax, DKr 23.438m as compared with DKr 20.282m for the same      
period in 2009 producing a return on shareholders' equity of 13.5 %. Net income

associated with the start-up of the bank's new headquarters in 2009 and a
slight increase in IT and staff expenses are the primary reasons for the
increase. Price adjustments amounted to a plus of DKr 5.108m compared with a
minus of DKr 5.007m in Q1 2009. Write-downs on the bank's loans amounted to DKr
