NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE 6 MONTHS PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
(All amounts in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
As of January 1st 2015 Lithuania joined euro zone. The exchange rate of conversion Litas to Euro was 3.4528. According to the law on Euro introduction in Lithuanian Republic the conversion itself did not have any impact to the Bank's Income statement except conversion of own shares that made EUR 70 thousand profit reported under Net foreign exchange gain line.
This interim financial information is presented in national currency of Lithuania, euro (EUR). Amounts presented are in thousand EUR unless otherwise stated. The books and records of the Bank and other Group companies are maintained in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union (EUR). This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.
The accounting policies adopted and methods of computation used are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, as described in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of available for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit and loss and all derivative contracts.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

The Board of Directors is responsible for resources allocation and performance assessment of the operating segments and has been identified as the chief operating decision maker.

7. Objective overview of the issuer group status, activities and development
In the 1st half-year 2016, Lithuania's economic indicators were improving and export regained its role as a factor of more rapid GDP growth. This leads to anticipation of a drop in unemployment in future, growth in income of the population and parallel strengthening of the domestic market. The outcome of the British referendum has injected more uncertainty regarding the development of the region's economy, however, in any event the effects of Great Britain's exit will materialise not in the nearest future, therefore, it will be possible to assess the effects more accurately and get properly prepared.
In the 1st half-year 2016, unaudited net profit earned by AB SEB bankas was EUR 45.1 million, and that earned by AB SEB bankas Group was EUR 43.1 million.

The amount issued in mortgage loans over the 1st half of 2016 was EUR 160 million, which is a 34 per cent increase year-on-year. An increase in domestic consumption induced, among other things, the market of consumer loans - during the 1st half-year of 2016 the volume of consumer loans issued by AB SEB bankas increased by 10 per cent year-on year. Active borrowers for the purpose of business development and new investments included small and medium enterprises, which are the main driver of economy. Within the first half-year of 2016 an increase in loans issued to SMEs increased by 43 per cent. An increase in business investments for the upgrade of car fleets, technology, agricultural machinery, freight transport induced growth in the leasing volumes. The amount issued in loans to large companies was also marked by growth - in the first half-year of 2016 an increase in loans issued to large companies was 53 per cent year-on-year.
AB SEB bankas Group's 1st half-year 2016 income was EUR 98.1 million (EUR 78.2 million year-on-year). Excluding extraordinary one-off income of 1st half-year 2016 from sales of Visa Europe Limited shares, the Bank's income was EUR 76,7 million, i.e. decreased by 2 per cent year-on-year.
In the first half of the year 2016 there was further increase in the number of SEB's home bank customers.

Taking into account customer needs to have a fast and simple way for handling their daily finances and to visit the Bank only when they need advice on more complex finance planning, saving or investment, AB SEB bankas continued expanding its network of financial advice units in Vilnius and in Kaunas – currently, our advisory units account for 1/3 of the sub-branch network of AB SEB bankas all over Lithuania.

In the 1st half-year of 2016, AB SEB bankas Group launched new and improved its existing services and remained highly focused on being advisory to private individual and corporate customers, on simplifying its services. In the 1st half-year of 2016, the Bank revised and simplified its financial service agreements for private and corporate customers.

CONSOLIDATED SEMI - ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD 2016
(all amounts in EUR thousand, unless indicated otherwise)
The Group, seeking to implement its said strategy, also, taking into account the objectives of the SEB Group, envisages the following key trends of activities:
-
Customer relationship strengthening. To achieve this objective, the Bank will further pursue its Home Bank strategy aimed for the Bank to become the main bank, i.e. home bank, for its customers – a bank that offers sound solutions that answer the customers' financial needs. Our key focus is on holistic customer relationship by being advisory, valuing simplicity and showing respect. The Bank implements this strategy by developing new and attractive services and attractive product offerings to its existing and potential customers based on the needs of relevant customer segments. The Bank regularly measures satisfaction of its private individual and corporate customers – Net Promoter Score (NPS).
-
Work culture and people. The Bank, as before, will aim at creating an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect enabling its employees to improve and reveal their potential to a full extent. For measuring its employee satisfaction, the Bank applies Insight methodology used at the entire SEB group level – it allows assessing employee involvement in the activities of the organisation as well as the employee performance efficiency.
-
Operational efficiency improvement. In order to remain an efficiently operating and competitive bank, the Bank plans to have its key focus on the following areas:
-
Income growth, by i) prospecting new income sources, ii) being more advisory, iii) optimising pricing of the Bank's services,
- To ensure its profitability, the Bank has formed its pricing, based on business equity concept; business equity are resources required for executing a transaction, and which are assessed taking into account the risk level of a relevant transaction. Business capital is attributed to each customer, at the same time to a relevant subdivision of the Bank.
-
Ensuring cost efficiency, by i) rational setting of priorities both for daily and project tasks, ii) undertaking regular stock-taking of the works in progress with the aim to eliminate overlapping of tasks (functions) thus contributing towards improvement of the internal processes of the organisation.
-
Risk management improvement. Risk-taking is not a separate objective, rather it is aimed at creating added value to customers and an additional return to shareholders. SEB Bank Group applies a reliable risk management system with long-term independent risk control functions since the date of its creation that are supplemented with several advanced internal models and a detailed decision-taking structure, excellent risk awareness among the staff, uniform definitions and principles, risk-taking control without exceeding relevant set limits and high degree of transparency in disclosing external factors with key focus on:
-
Monitoring of the Bank's Key Risk Indicators (KRIs),
- Compliance with the requirements of supervisory institutions (e.g., Basel III requirements).

15. Information on risk level and its management
SEB strives for a holistic governance, planning and follow-up system in which business planning, risk management, capital management, liquidity and funding planning, and result and performance management are clearly interconnected and interactive over time. SEB manages the financial consequences of business decisions by focusing on three main aspects: (1) growth, mix and risk of business volumes, (2) capital, funding and liquidity requirements driven by the business, and (3) profitability. Targets are set and reviewed on a regular basis to manage and optimise resources in respect of these three aspects.
Managing risk is a core activity in banking and therefore fundamental for long-term profitability and stability. The overall level of risk that the Bank is willing to accept is set by the Board of Directors based on the guiding principle that taking risk is not an end in itself, but is done for the purpose of creating customer value and sustainable shareholders value. In its overarching risk tolerance statement, the Board lays out its long-term view of the Bank's risk level as well as its view on how the funding is to be structured, what liquidity buffers are required, and the amount of capital that is needed to cover the aggregated risks. The development of risk and capital regulatory requirements are also taken into account.
The risk tolerance statement is highly significant for management's business planning and covers all main risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, operational risk, etc. Risk measurements are set based on the Board's risk tolerance and are reviewed annually. SEB's risk profile in relation to its risk tolerance is followed upon a regular basis by the risk organisation, management and the Board.
The business units are responsible for the risks that arise in their operations. Therefore the first defence against potential future losses is ensuring that correct decisions are made from the start and the resulting risks are managed throughout the life of the transaction. SEB's risk culture is based on long experience, strong customer relationships and sound banking principles, and provides a solid foundation for the Bank's risk governance. The business is supported by Group-wide rules and policies and an established decision-making hierarchy.
The risk and compliance organisations constitute the second line of defence and are independent from the business. The risk organisation is responsible for identifying, measuring and controlling risks. Risks are measured both on a detailed and aggregated level. Risks are controlled through limit structures, both at the transactional and portfolio levels. Asset quality in the credit portfolio is monitored and analysed continuously, among other ways through stress testing and, above all, reverse stress testing. The compliance organisation ensures compliance quality and focuses on compliance issues under direction of the Board and management.
The quality of risk management is reviewed on a regular basis by both internal audit – the third line of defence – and the external auditors.
SEB assumes credit, market, liquidity, operational and other type of risks. For more information about specific risk types and their assessment and management instruments see Note 3 Financial risk management policy of an explanatory letter to the Year 2015 financial reporting. Over the reporting period there were no substantial changes in risk management.
During the first half of the year 2016, AB SEB bankas Group was compliant with all the requirements set by supervisory institutions:
| The Group | Ratio | The Bank | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31-12-2015 | 30-06-2016 | 31-12-2015 | 30-06-2016 | |
| Compliant* | Compliant* | Liquidity ratio (at least 30%)/Liquidity coverage ratio | compliant* | compliant* |
| 22.57 percent** | 19.24 percent** | Capital adequacy ratio | 22.43 percent** | 19.18 percent** |
| 0.81 percent | 4.64 percent | Maximum open single currency position | 0.81 percent | 4.68 percent |
| 0.81 percent | 4.72 percent | Maximum aggregate open currency position | 0.82 percent | 4.72 percent |
| 18.62 percent | 21.89 percent | Maximum loans per single borrower <= 25 percent of the share capital | 18.69 percent | 21.95 percent |
- No definite ratio of coverage by liquid assets has been announced, as so far the European Commission has not yet approved its technical standards regulating the calculation of said indicator.
16. Main characteristics of the company group's internal risk control and risk management systems related to the formation of consolidated financial statements
The Group must ensure the implementation of appropriate organisational measures, procedures and business process support IT systems, the entirety of which would ensure the implementation of adequate internal control system, which, in its turn, would enable providing reliable financial reporting data. The following key elements of the Group's internal control should be mentioned: checking the data on transactions executed in primary systems against transaction data in the accounting system; clear organisational structure and proper segregation of functions, daily accounting of the Group's transactions and relevant reports, based on actual market data, established risk restricting limits and regular control of whether the risk is in line with such limits, internal control elements integrated in business and business support processes as well as other control measures.

As of 30 June 2016, the number of actually working employees (excluding those on maternity/paternity leave) was 1,449, i.e. 2.3 per cent less than at the end of 2015, when the actual number of the Group's employees was 1,483.
