Note 1

GENERAL

Sparebanken Vest Boligkreditt AS is a wholly owned special bank subsidiary ofSparebanken Vest, established under the Norwegian Covered Bonds Legislation. Thecompany was established on 21th May 2008 with the sole purpose of issuing coveredbonds backed by mortgages acquired from the owner. The head office is in Bergen. Thehead office address is: Kaigaten 4, NO-5016 Bergen.

All amounts in the accounts and the notes to the accounts are stated in NOK thousands,unless stated otherwise.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The accounts are prepared in accordance with simplified International FinancialReporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU and published by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (IASB), and which were compulsory at 31 December 2008.The company is included in the Sparebanken Vest Group, which implemented IFRS inthe consolidated accounts as of 1 January 2005. Sparebanken Vest Boligkreditt AS hasprepared statutory accounts according to the Norwegian Ministry of Finance's regulationson annual accounts, Section 1-5, on the use of simplified IFRS (International FinancialReporting Standards) hereinafter called the simplified IFRS regulations. With theimplementation of simplified IFRS, the company has applied assumptions which affectestimates of assets, liabilities, income, costs and information related to contingentliabilities. Future events may lead to changes in these assumptions. The effect of thesechanges will be reflected in the accounts when the new estimates can be determinedwith sufficient certainty. Dividends, group contributions and other allocations related tothe accounting result for the year will be posted when the allocations are approved by thegeneral meeting.

RECORDING OF INTEREST AND FEES

Interest is recorded when incurred.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The company’s activities are divided into segments: banking activities in the RetailMarket (RM) and the Corporate Market (CM). The numbers are presented in note 2.

The company’s initial costs and related interest on deposits are not divided by segmentbut are part of the figure described as “Unallocated by segment”.

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Financial assets are valued in accordance with IAS 39, and the presentation is inaccordance with IFRS 7.

Value changes in the period are posted in the profit and loss account. The date ofthe agreement has been chosen as the accounting date.

Loans and accounts receivable

Loans and accounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed ordeterminable payments and which are not traded in an active market.

Loans and receivables in the balance sheet comprise floating-rate loans, fixed-rate loansand loans with a built-in derivative.

Floating rate loans

Loans are initially recognised at fair value plus direct transaction costs. In periods afterthe initial valuation assessment, loans are recognised at amortised cost based on theeffective interest rate method, as an expression of the fair value of the loan. If there isobjective evidence of a decline in the value of an individual loan or groups of loans, theloans are written down. The amount of the write-down is calculated as the differencebetween the balance sheet value and the present value of future cash flows, based onthe expected lifetime of the loan. Write-downs are classified as a chargeable cost.

Interest income is taken to income on the basis of the effective interest rate method. Inrespect of commitments with individually determined write-downs, the effective interestrate is locked in cases where a) the loan is not in default, or b) the changed rate isregardless of the fact that the loan is in default and the interest rate change affects theexpected cash flow.

Loans with a built-in derivative

Loans with interest cap have a built-in derivative and are stated at fair value. Anagreement signed between the company and Sparebanken Vest states that whentransferring loans with interest cap from Sparebanken Vest to the company, it’s the loanand not the derivative that is to be transferred to Sparebanken Vest Boligkreditt AS.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Developed software

Software that has been developed is posted in the balance sheet under intangible assetswhen the amounts involved are deemed to be material and the items are expected tohave lasting value. In the development of software, costs related to use of ownresources, pre-planning, implementation and training are charged in the profit and loss

account. Software that has been developed by the bank and posted in the balance sheetis depreciated over its expected lifetime. There is continuous assessment of the need forwrite-downs where the expected economic benefits are less than the balance sheetvalue.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities at a floating rate are stated at amortised cost. Amortised cost isdefined as the initial amount of the instrument recognised in the accounts (cost price)less repayments of principal, with an addition or deduction for accumulated amortisationof all differences between cost price and the nominal amount, less all write-downs.Amortisation is based on the effective interest rate method.

When the company buys back its own securities, the difference between the balancesheet value and the consideration paid is posted as “Net gain/(loss) on financialinstruments”. The buy-back of securities issued by the company is netted againstsecurities debt in the balance sheet.

IMPORTANT ASSESSMENTS MADE IN RELATION TO THE COMPANY’SACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In applying accounting principles related to certain IFRS accounting standards, thecompany makes evaluations based on its own judgement.

Estimates and assumptions represent a considerable risk of major changes in thebalance sheet value of assets and liabilities, the most important of which are discussedbelow.

Loan write-downs

All commitments which are subject to an individual valuation shall be assessed todetermine whether there is objective evidence showing that a loss event has occurredand that the loss event has reduced the estimated future cash flows from the loan.

If there is objective evidence of loan impairment, the loan loss is calculated as thedifference between the balance sheet value (loan principal + accrued interest at the dateof valuation) and the present value of future cash flows discounted taking account of theeffective rate of interest and the expected lifetime of the loan. In estimating future cashflows, account is only taken of the credit loss caused by the loss events which havearisen.

Pension commitments

The net present value of pension commitments depends on current economic andactuarial assumptions. Any change made to these assumptions affects the pensioncommitment amount recorded in the balance sheet and the pension expense.

The calculation is based on guidelines on assumptions issued by the NorwegianAccounting Foundation.

TAXATION

Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are stated in the balance sheet in accordance withIAS 12 Deferred Tax.

The tax charge in the profit and loss account includes both the tax payable for the periodand the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax/deferred tax assets are calculated at a taxrate of 28% on the basis of timing differences between values for accounting andtaxation purposes at year-end. Taxable and tax-deductible timing differences which arereversed or can be reversed within the same time interval are netted against each otherand entered net.

Deferred tax assets are posted in the balance sheet on the basis of expectations oftaxable income through earnings in future years.

Tax payable in the balance sheet relates to the tax on the profit for the year, tax payableon capital assets, and tax linked to the group contribution.

PENSION COMMITMENTS

Pension commitments are calculated in accordance with IAS 19. Economic assumptionsused to calculate the pension commitments are updated at year-end, including thediscount rate which is based on year-end market rates. IAS 19 permits the effect ofdivergence between estimated and actual assumptions to be entered in a “corridor”.Deviations from estimates and assumptions are measured against the larger of grosspension commitments and total pension fund assets. If the deviations exceed 10% of thebasis of measurement, the difference is amortised over the average remaining period ofservice.

The net pension commitments are calculated and posted as a long-term liability in theaccounts. Net pension commitments are the difference between gross pensioncommitments (the present value of expected future pensions) and the balance onpension funds assets in the insurance fund and the pension premium fund. The figure fornet pension commitments corrected for deviations from estimates and changes inpension assumptions, including employer’s national insurance contributions, appears inthe balance sheet.

The pension charge for the year is stated net in the profit and loss account under«Salaries and general administration expenses».

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The statement of cash flows is prepared on the basis of gross cash flows fromoperations, investment and financing activities.

Cash flows from operations are defined as ongoing interest related to customerborrowings and deposits, net receipts/payments related to lending and deposit activities,and payments related to the cost of ordinary operations.

Cash flows from other securities transactions, as well as the issue and repayment ofbond debt and equity are defined as financing activities.

Equity consists and share capital and other equity.

The credit risk is the risk of loss if the bank's customers are unable to meet their obligations related to loans, creditfacitlites, guarantees and the like. The credit risk is managed on the basis of targets set for risk profile, rate of returnand growth. A key element in quantification of the bank's risk profile is calculation of the default probability for individualcustomers and portfolios, - see below. The target rate of return is based on the Return on Risk-Adjusted Capital(RORAC). The concentration risk is managed on the basis of the targets set for the proportion for each sector, thelargest individual commitments and the overall figure set for major commitments.

The expected annual average net loss has been calculated for the next 12 months and is within the

Probability of default

Sparebanken Vest Boligkreditts net losses in 2008 corresonded to -0,01 % of total gross lendings.

Sparebanken Vest Boligkreditt's credit portfolio is split into 11 risk classes from A to K based on debt-servicing ability(default probability).The default probability is defined as the likelihood that the customer will default on the loan withinthe next 12 months. A default may relate to a failure to service debt and 90 days have elapsed or other specificcircumstances ("unlikely to pay", cf. Basel II), affecting the customer's ability to service the debt. The default probabilityis calculated using statistical models (score cards) based on logical regression. The models combine internal andexternal data to establish statistical relationships. The results are interpreted and form the basis of logical key figures.Risk classification of all commitments is carried out each month using the automatic collection of data from internal andexternal sources. There is also manual monitoring of corporate commitments. The frequency of risk classificationassessment depends on the size of the commitmment and the nature of the risk.

Commitments are priced to reflect the level of exposure. Those with the highest exposure therefore have the highest price.

All commitments which are to be individually assessed shall be considered to determine if there is objectiveevidence that a loss has arisen and that the loss event will reduce the loan's estimated future cash flows.

If objective evidence of impairment is found, the loss on the loan is calculated as the difference between thebalance sheet value (balance + accrued interest at date of assessment) and the present value of future cashflows. In estimating future cash flows only the credit loss caused by the loss event that has occurred shall betaken into account. The estimation of future cash flows from a loan shall also take account of the takeover andsale of related loan collateral, including the transaction costs.When the best estimate of the future cash flow is estimated and recorded, the system will calculate the newvalue of the loan (amortised cost) and the difference will be the amount of the write-down.The write-down of the loss (against the customer's commitment) shall be carried out when the entire loancollateral has been realised and it is certain that no further payments will be received on the commitment. Theclaim on the customers remains and will be followed up, unless an agreement has been made with thecustomer to waive the claim.
