    SCARBOROUGH ANNOUNCES STRONG ANNUAL RESULTS


    The Scarborough Building Society Group today announced a record set of annual results.

    Highlights of the year included:-

    *     Group pre-tax profit up 16% to �7.8 million;
    *     Total assets under management up 20% to �5.2 billion.
    *     Group total assets up 24% to a record �2.85 billion;
    *     Group management expenses ratio reduced to 0.74%;
    *     Society management expenses ratio down again to 0.37%;
    *     Group mortgage balances up 57% to �2.2 billion;
    *     Group retail deposit balances up 11% to �2.1 billion;
    *     97% of mortgages funded by retail deposits.

    Outlining Scarborough's performance for the 2007/8 financial year, today, Chief Executive John Carrier said: 'Despite hugely competitive
and complex times, our pre-tax profit and asset growth have, once again, increased significantly.

    'We are a mutual building society with a diverse business model and a responsible approach to risk management. As a result, we have no
exposure to the US sub prime lending crisis through collateralised debt obligations and structured investment vehicles.

    'Our success in growing retail balances means that almost 100% of our lending is now  funded by savings deposits.

    'In addition, our strong liquidity and capital positions ensure continuing security for our members during an emerging period of
uncertainty for the financial services sector and indeed the UK economy as a whole. 

    'I expect this environment to result in further increases in the cost of borrowing and a slowdown in the housing market affecting
property values, factors which could well impact on our financial performance next year.

    'However, Scarborough has always met its challenges head-on and, equally, sees them as opportunities through which it can make progress
as it follows the clarity of its strategic direction.

    'We remain committed to our core purpose of offering good value mortgages and savings, and delivering continuing success for the benefit
of our members despite what is likely to be a tough operating environment in the year ahead.'
