Operating Profit
----------------

Operating profit before appropriations and taxes amounted
to SEK 4,255 million (3,839). The main reason for the improved 
profit is the strength of lending operations in both the private and corporate
market.

Operating expenses
------------------

Operating expenses decreased to SEK 137 million (146). The majority of the 
decrease is attributable to lower expenses for premises and outside services as 
well as depreciation of equipment.

Loan losses
-----------

Loan losses amounted to SEK 18 million (129), equivalent to an annual loss level 
of 0.005%. The loss level has been affected positively by a recovery of SEK 21 
million attributable to a bankruptcy of Svenska Kredit in the early 1990's.

Lending
-------

The loan portfolio after deductions for anticipated loan losses rose by SEK 31.1
billion, net, (26.6) to SEK 398.8 billion (367.6). Loans for private homes rose
by SEK 24.8 billion (20.0) and agricultural loans by SEK 3.7 billion (2.6). 
Loans for commercial properties rose by SEK 2.6 billion (4.0). Spintab 
maintained its position as the market's leading mortgage lender with a market 
share of approximately 31%.

Doubtful and restructured claims
--------------------------------

The book value of doubtful claims on December 31, 2003 amounted to SEK 233 
million (269) after deducting provisions for anticipated loan losses totaling 
SEK 249 million (361). The book value of restructured claims amounted to SEK 31 
million (31). Inaddition, real estate and condominiums taken over to protect 
claims have a book value as of December 31 of SEK 0 million (1), which 
corresponds to their fair value. The book value of non-performing loans for 
which interest has been entered as income amounted to SEK 193 million (356).

Funding
-------

Spintab is Scandinavia's largest issuer of bonds in the international capital 
market. Approximately 46% of Spintab's total funding has been secured from 
foreign money and capital markets.

Capital adequacy
----------------

As of December 31, 2003 the capital adequacy ratio was 11.0% (10.8), of which 
the primary capital ratio was 8.5% (8.8).

Interest rate risk
------------------

An increase in market interest rates of one percentage point as of December 31, 
2003 would have reduced the value of Spintab's interest-bearing assets and 
liabilities, including derivatives, by approximately SEK 514 million (293).
A one-percent increase in market interest rates would have increased net profit 
on financial operations by SEK 2 million (0).

Annual General Meeting
----------------------

The Annual General Meeting will be held on April 20, 2004. The complete annual
report for 2003 will be made available to the public at Spintab's office at
Regeringsgatan 13 in Stockholm at the beginning of April 2004.
