Allocation of negative goodwill and other reserves

The acquisition of BfG on January 3, 2000 has given rise to a negative goodwill
as the acquisition price was lower than the acquired equity capital. The reason
for the existence of the negative goodwill is the expectations that the return
of the acquired company is insufficient. Thus, actions will have to be taken to
restore the long-term earnings capacity.

The negative goodwill is EUR 382 M. In addition to that, there is a general
reserve for bad debt of EUR 111 M and a general reserve for restructuring of EUR
83 M established by BfG before the acquisition. Thus, total reserves to be
allocated are EUR 576 M.

During 2000, measures have also been taken in order to restructure the balance
sheet, i.e. by selling out subsidiaries, fixed assets and closing certain
positions.

The reserve for restructuring will cover the cost of a large number of projects
identified during the strategic review of SEB AG:

These projects have been estimated to generate the following expenses (EUR M)

    
Restructuring of the retail segment                  90
 
Brand name change                                    80

                                                    330
 
   
Of the EUR 330 M, EUR 55 M was utilised during 2000. Of the remaining EUR 275 M,
EUR 27 M has been utilised during the first quarter of 2001. Thus EUR 248 M
remains.

Appendix 3   SEB Trygg Liv

SEB Trygg Liv focuses on the sale and administration of unit-linked insurance
products as well as their equivalent for account of the traditional mutual life
insurance business. From an accounting point of view, the life insurance
business is separate from the traditional banking activities. SEB Trygg Liv's
accounts are presented in this Appendix according to generally accepted
accounting standards within the insurance business.

SEB Trygg Liv reported a decline in sales of -36 per cent (+70 per cent) during
the first quarter. It is primarily single-premium endowment assurance for the
private market which accounts for the decline, SEK 1 476 M (3 181). Most sales,
83 per cent (93) pertain to unit-linked insurance, of which 15 per cent (13) is
attributable to sales through the subsidiary SEB Trygg Life (Ireland), primarily
the investment product Life Assurance Portfolio Bond for the Swedish market. 

Sales, i.e. new premiums and extra payments under existing insurance contracts,
decreased by SEK 1 582 M, or 36 per cent, to SEK 2 786 M (4 368). The share of
insurance contracts with regular premiums was 24,9 per cent (16.7) including
foreign sales. Premium income (premiums paid) decreased by 24 per cent to SEK 4
357 M (5 748). In total, the value of assets under management decreased by SEK
23 billion or 9 per cent to SEK 229 billion (252) during the twelve- month
period. The decrease for unit-linked insurance was 14 per cent.

Total income decreased by 7 percent to SEK 364 M (391), primarily as an effect
of the lower asset values compared to last year. Operating costs and other
costs, after deducting the change in deferred acquisition cost of SEK 59 M (69),
rose by 1 per cent to SEK 413 M (408). The operating result, before current
period change in surplus values, totalled SEK -49 M (-17).

The surplus value in life insurance operations is the present value of expected
future profits from signed insurance contracts. The surplus value comprises
unit-linked operations as well as commissioning agreements with traditional life
insurance companies. 

When determining the surplus value in the insurance portfolio an annual unit
fund growth of 6 percent, i. e. 1.5 per cent per quarter is assumed. A higher or
lower growth rate than assumed will result in positive or negative financial
effects when computing the current year change. During the first quarter of
2001, the overall growth in unit funds was -12 per cent (+6 per cent), thus
resulting in negative financial effects of SEK -644 M (294).

Total result from operations improved by SEK 182 M or 112 per cent to SEK 344 M
(162). Total result less current period financial effects was SEK -300 M (456).

Calculation of surplus value and changes in surplus value

Surplus value in life insurance operations is calculated on the basis of
assumptions regarding the future development of signed insurance contracts and a
risk-adjusted discount rate. The most important assumptions are the following:

Discount rate                                  11 % 
Return on capital, nominal assets               4 % 
Return on capital, real assets                  8 % 
Surrender of contracts                          5 % 
Surrender of current premiums                   5 % 
Administrative expenses (Sweden only)          SEK 250/contract per year 
                                                6 % 
Mortality                                      According to industry experience 

 
Surplus value accounting

Deferred acquisition costs are capitalised in the accounts and depreciated
according to plan. The reported change in surplus values is therefore adjusted
by the net result of the capitalisation and depreciation during the period.

(1) Sales defined as new contracts and extra premiums on existing contracts

(2) The reported actual outcome of contracts signed can be placed in relation to
the operative assumptions that were made. Thus, the value of the deviations can
be estimated. The most important components consist of extensions of contracts
as well as cancellations. Also included is the estimated cost of solvency, which
increases with growth in fund values. However, the actual income and
administrative expenses are included in full in the operating result. 

(3) Assumed unit growth is 6 per cent, i. e. 1,5 per cent per quarter. Actual
for the first quarter of 2001 is - 12 per cent compared to plus 6 per cent in
2000 resulting in the negative financial effects of SEK -644 M (294).

(4) Prepaid acquisition costs are capitalised in the accounts and amortised over
5 years. Accordingly, the reported change in surplus values is adjusted by the
net effect in the period. 

(5) Estimated surplus value according to the above is not included in the
statutory balance sheet.

To note:

Minority interest and goodwill is different between the balance sheet and the
capital base due to the inclusion of companies in the capital adequacy
calculation that are not consolidated in the Group's balance sheet, e.g. BOS
S.A.

Result for the year and change in the translation difference compared to year
end are not included in the core capital and the capital base since the accounts
have not been verified by external auditors (1).

The deduction (2) from shareholders equity in the consolidated balance sheet
consists mainly of non-restricted equity in subsidiaries that are not
consolidated in the financial group of undertakings (insurance companies).

Goodwill in (3) includes only goodwill from acquisitions of companies in the
financial group of undertakings, i.e. not insurance companies. Goodwill from
acquisitions of insurance companies is deducted from the capital base (4).
