Comments on the financial statements for 2008                                   


                                                                                
Accounting policies                                                             
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with          
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The    
Parent financial statements are presented in accordance with the Danish         
Financial Business Act, including the Executive Order on Financial Reports for  
Credit Institutions and Investment Companies, etc and Danish Accounting         
Standards.                                                                      


Financial performance                                                           
For 2008, the Skælskør Bank Group generated a loss of DKK 18.5m before tax which
is a decline on the performance for 2007. Results did not turn out as expected  
after Q3. The Bank experienced rising interest expenses in Q4, larger negative  
translation/market value adjustments as well as larger impairment losses than   
expected. Net loss is DKK 10.6m, which is a decline on last year.               

Management considers this performance unsatisfactory.                           

The Bank's capital adequacy ratio is 13.2%, which is an increase of 0.6% on last
year. The capital adequacy requirement of the Bank has been calculated at 8%.   

In 2008 too, Skælskør Bank invested in leasehold improvements.                  

The Bank's aggregate business volume has gone down from DKK 4,977m to DKK       
4,432m, which is attributable primarily to the discontinuation of guarantees    
towards Totalkredit.                                                            


Net interest and fee income                                                     
Net interest and fee income amounts to DKK 131.1m compared with DKK 130.2m in   
2007.                                                                           

Net interest income has risen by 5.6% to DKK 91.9m. This rise is attributable to
increases in interest rates, loans and advances.                                

The interest margin has in 2008 gone up by 0.30% and amounts to 5.39% for 2008. 
The average lending rate and deposit rate has in 2008 been 9.04% and 3.65%,     
respectively. In 2007, they were 7.91% and 2.82%, respectively.                 

Net fees and commission income have decreased by 9% to DKK 38.0m.               

Translation/market value adjustments                                            
Total translation/market value adjustments for the year are negative by DKK     
13.5m, with DKK 26.2m thereof falling on negative market value adjustments of   
shares, DKK 4.1m on negative market value adjustments of bonds, as well as DKK  
7.7m on positive value adjustments of investment property and DKK 9.8m on sale  
of the Bank's shares in Totalkredit.                                            

Staff costs and administrative expenses                                         
Staff costs and administrative expenses have increased by 6% from DKK 93.2m in  
2007 to DKK 98.4m in 2008.                                                      

This increase primarily results from rising staff costs and leasehold           
improvement costs. The Bank's IT expenses have also gone up during the year, one
reason being the need to ensure updated systems for customer advisory services. 

Impairment losses on loans, advances and other receivables                      
Impairment losses on loans and advances amount to DKK 42.2m against DKK 13.0m   
last year and are attributable primarily to commitments with the now closed     
Holbæk branch. The impairment losses are distributed on all industries as well  
as on those relating to the Danish banking sector's contingency association,    
“Det Private Beredskab”.                                                        

Taxation                                                                        
Tax has been calculated at an income of DKK 7.9m, reducing net loss for the year
to DKK 10.6m. No dividend is paid for 2008.                                     

Balance sheet                                                                   
At year-end 2008, the consolidated balance sheet totals DKK 2,594m compared with
last year's DKK 2,549m, which is a rise of 2%.                                  
                                                                                

Deposits                                                                        
Deposits are up from DKK 1,474m in 2007 to DKK 1,498m in 2008, which is an      
increase by 2%.                                                                 

Loans and advances                                                              
Loans, advances and other receivables are up from DKK 1,865m in 2007 to DKK     
1,885m in 2008, which is an increase by 1%.                                     

Equity                                                                          
After covering net loss for the year, equity amounts to DKK 274m, which is 9%   
down on 2007.                                                                   


Outlook for 2009                                                                


The financial crisis has made it harder than usual to forecast how the Group    
will perform in general in 2009. This uncertainty implies that it will not be   
possible for the Bank to indicate fairly certain its pre-tax earnings           
expectations.                                                                   
However, Management expects the core bank business of customer-related          
activities to develop positively so that this will ensure continued healthy     
results.                                                                        

The Bank has not yet decided whether it will make use of the government-backed  
Bank Aid Package II. This matter will be discussed by the Supervisory Board of  
the Bank and will be finally determined in Q2 of 2009.                          


Other issues                                                                    



“Det Private Beredskab” and the Government Guarantee Scheme                     
The Danish Government has issued a two-year guarantee for all deposits and      
unsecured claims. The Bank has joined the Danish Government Guarantee Scheme,   
which is effective from 6 October 2008 to 30 September 2010 with the possibility
of extension, should financial stability considerations call for this.          

The scheme is managed by Det Private Beredskab, which was established in the    
summer of 2007. When introducing this scheme, the Danish Government formed a    
winding-up company, Afviklingsselskabet til Sikring af Finansiel Stabilitet A/S,
to be in charge of the winding-up of ailing banks.                              

The annual payment to Det Private Beredskab is expected to approximate DKK 12m, 
which will affect the Bank's administrative expenses until the scheme expires.  

In addition to the annual payment, Det Private Beredskab guarantees payment of  
up to DKK 10bn to cover losses of the winding-up company. The Bank's share of   
this liability has been calculated at DKK 2.0m. The winding-up company has      
stated that losses have so far been calculated at DKK 1,025m. As a consequence, 
the Bank has made a proportional provision for this guarantee undertaken.       

Audit Committee                                                                 
The Bank expects that the composition of the Supervisory Board complies with the
rules of the newly passed Danish executive order on audit committees to the     
effect that the Supervisory Board has at least one independent member possessing
the qualifications required under the executive order.                          

The printed annual report is expected to be available on 26 February 2009.      

Statement by Management on the annual report                                    


Today we have considered and approved the annual report of Skælskør Bank        
Aktieselskab for 2008.                                                          

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with     
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and the parent
