The soft loans of the Group are included among claims subject to interest
reduction.

The shortfall in income due to interest deferments was SEK 25 M (SEK 11 M).
while unpaid interest on nonperforming loans amounted to SEK 114 M (SEK 165
M),together an improvement of 21 per cent compared with January-June.1998.

On 30 June 1999, the Group had SEK 938 M (SEK 434 M) in non-performing
loans on which interest income was reported. These loans are not included
among the problem loans, since the corresponding collateral covers both
interest and principal.
