---------------------------------------------------------------------------


The bank's pre-tax profit for the first half of 2012 was DKK 237 million
against DKK 179 million in 2011, an increase of 32%. The profit represents a
return of 20% p.a. on equity, which is considered highly satisfactory in the
current financial situation.

Management report

Core income

The net interest income in the first half of 2012 was DKK 316 million, an
increase of 9% relative to last year. Since last year we have seen an
increasing trend in net interest income deriving from the increasing deposits
and a rising interest margin. Like the rest of the financial sector, the bank
has increased its interest margin. However, the very low interest rate is
resulting in a lower return on the bank's securities portfolio and liquid
resources. 

Fees, commissions and foreign exchange earnings amount to net DKK 98 million in
the first half of 2012 against net DKK 79 million in 2011, an increase of 24%.
The large sums within asset management and the pension area have affected
earnings positively, and there has been a brisk level of activity within
conversion of credit association loans. 

Total core income was 11% higher in the first half of the year, increasing from
DKK 375 million in 2011 to DKK 418 million in 2012. 



Costs and depreciations

Total costs including depreciations on tangible assets were DKK 133 million in
the first half of 2012 against DKK 123 million last year, an increase of 8%. 

Most of the increase is the new fixed premium paid to the Guarantee Fund for
Depositors and Investors, which will be booked as a cost from 2012. It was
decided in connection with Bank Package IV to establish an insurance scheme
with a premium fixed relative to the deposits for which cover is provided. DKK
1,950 million will be paid annually to the Fund, in which the bank currently
has a 0.65% share, equivalent to DKK 12.7 million a year. Payments will be made
to the Fund until it has reached DKK 7,500 million. Future costs for the Fund
will be financed by the payments, so it is not possible to determine how low
long this cost will continue. On the other hand, the fluctuating costs of bank
bailouts will disappear in time. DKK 6.1 million was debited to the scheme in
the first half-year. 

Notwithstanding the new insurance scheme, the rate of costs improved by 3%
relative to 2011 and is now 31.9%, still the lowest in Denmark. A low rate of
costs is especially important in periods of difficult economic conditions as
the bank's results are thus very robust, which is also reflected in the
computation of the bank's individual solvency requirement. 



Write-downs on loans

Write-downs on loans amounted to DKK 79 million in the first half of 2012
against DKK 54 million in the preceding year. The level of write-downs remains
acceptable and is equivalent to 1.1% p.a. of the total average of loans,
write-downs, guarantees and provisions. The bank's customers still appear to be
coping better with the weak economic conditions than the average in Denmark. 

The bank's total account for write-downs and provisions amounted to DKK 731
million at the end of the half-year, equivalent to 4.8% of total loans and
guarantees. Actual write-downs on loans remain at a very low level, exceeded in
the half-year by the income items 'paid into previously written-down loans' and
'interest income on customer commitments for which provisions were made', and
the account for write-downs and provisions thus increased by DKK 81 million
during the first half-year. 

The portfolio of loans with zeroed interest amounts to DKK 91 million,
equivalent to 0.6% of the bank's total loans and guarantees at the end of the
half-year. 

Given the low growth experienced by the Danish economy in 2011, which is
continuing this year, the bank is satisfied with the conservative credit policy
on the basis of which the bank has always been run. The bank's losses are still
expected to remain at a relatively high level in 2012, equivalent to that of
the past three years, as a natural part of the economic cycle. It is also still
the bank's judgment that the credit policy, the diversified loans portfolio and
the bank's location in Central and West Jutland will have a positive effect on
the bank compared to the general level of losses in the banking sector as a
whole.

The core earnings were DKK 206 million against DKK 198 million last year, an
increase of 4%, and are now approaching the top of the range of DKK 300-400
million reported for the entire year. 



Result for the portfolio

The result for the portfolio for the first half of 2012 was positive by DKK 33
million including funding costs for the portfolio. 

The bank's holding of shares etc. at the end of the half-year amounted to DKK
265 million, DKK 27 million of which was in listed shares etc. while DKK 238
million was in sector shares etc. The bond portfolio amounted to DKK 3,632
million, and the great majority of the portfolio consists of AAA-rated Danish
mortgage credit bonds and short bank bonds with rated Nordic counterparties. 

The total interest rate risk - computed as the impact on the result of a one
percentage point change in the interest level - was 1.2% of the bank's core
capital after deduction at the end of the half-year. 

The bank's total market risk within exposure to interest rate risk, exposure in
listed shares etc. and foreign exchange exposure remains at a low level. The
bank's risk of losses calculated on the basis of a value-at-risk model
(computed with a 10-day horizon and 99% probability) was as follows in the
first half of 2012: 

                         Risk in    Risk relative to equity
                       million DKK   end of 1st half in %  
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Highest risk of loss:     27.5               1.07%         
Lowest risk of loss:       3.6               0.14%         
Average risk of loss      14.1               0.55%         

The bank's policy remains to keep the market risk at a low level.




Result after tax

The result after tax was DKK 178 million for the first half of 2012 against DKK
135 million last year. 

The result after tax is equivalent to a return on equity of 15% p.a. after
payment of dividend. 



Balance sheet

The bank's balance sheet total at the end of the half-year stood at DKK 18,033
million against last year's DKK 18,440 million. Deposits increased by 4% from
DKK 12,404 million to DKK 12,939 million relative to 2011. The bank's loans
decreased by 2% to DKK 12,869 million. The underlying growth in new customers
from the branch network and within the niches Private Banking and wind turbine
financing remains good. The changed pattern of consumption with a higher rate
of saving and the general trend by many customers to trim their balance sheets
means, however, that in general there is a greater return flow on the bank's
existing loans portfolio than previously, so that the entire growth in the
first half of the year generally went into neutralising this flow. The bank's
loans grew by 1% in 2012. 

The bank's portfolio of guarantees at the end of the half-year was DKK 1,687
million against DKK 1,044 million in 2011. 



Liquidity

The bank's liquidity is good, with loans and deposits at the same level. The
excess cover relative to the statutory requirement is 145%. The bank's
short-term funding with term to maturity of less than 12 months amounts to only
DKK 693 million, balanced by DKK 4.4 billion in short-term money market
placings, primarily Danish banks and liquid securities. The bank is thus not
dependent on the short-term money market. 

The bank's loans portfolio is thus more than fully financed by deposits and the
bank's equity. In addition, part of the German loans portfolio for wind
turbines was refinanced back-to-back with KFW Bankengruppe, and the DKK 761
million in question can thus be disregarded in terms of liquidity. The bank
requires no financing for the coming year to meet the minimum requirement that
it must always be able to manage for up to 12 months without access to the
financial markets. 



The deposit guarantee scheme

The future fixed costs of the insurance scheme are recognised under other
operating costs. We have, however, received an additional charge from the
estate in bankruptcy of Fjordbank Mors, which was recognised as an expense of
DKK 2 million in the half-year. 



Buy-back programme

It was decided at the general meeting to cancel 100,000 repurchased own shares.
Following expiration of the deadline in the statutory notice, the reduction to
4,940,000 shares was implemented in the second quarter of 2012. 

The bank's holding of own shares at the end of the first half of 2012 was
32,967. 


Rating

Moody's concluded its announced review of the Danish financial sector in the
second quarter of 2012. The result was a reduction in the credit rating of one
to three notches for a number of Danish institutions. 

The downward adjustments are primarily attributable to Moody's concern about
Danish banks as a whole and the Danish economy. Ringkjoebing Landbobank was
given a downward adjustment from A3 to Baa1 with stable outlook. 

Relatively speaking the change is modest, and the bank's stand-alone rating is
now the highest among Danish financial institutions. Moody's also cited the
bank's solid results throughout the crisis and its strong capitalisation as the
reasons for the relative placing. 



Capital

The bank's equity at the beginning of 2012 was DKK 2,483 million, to which must
be added the profit for the period and from which must be deducted the dividend
paid and the value of the shares purchased, after which the equity at the end
of the first half-year was DKK 2,574 million. 

The bank's capital adequacy ratio (Tier 2) was computed at 21.1 at the end of
the first half of 2012. The core capital ratio (Tier 1) was computed at 19.6. 

Capital adequacy                          1st half  2011  2010  2009  2008  2007

Core capital ratio                            19.6  19.8  18.6  16.6  13.0  11.2
Capital adequacy ratio                        21.1  21.4  22.4  20.2  16.3  13.0
Individual solvency requirement                8.0   8.0   8.0   8.0   8.0   8.0
Capital adequacy                              264%  268%  280%  253%  204%  163%



The individual solvency requirement calculated for Ringkjoebing Landbobank is
7.1% because of the bank's robust business model, and the ratio was thus
reported at 8%. The Danish FSA reviewed the report during its routine annual
visit and had no comments on it. 



Encouraging increase in customer numbers

The bank implemented several outreach initiatives towards new customers just
over two years ago. The basis was the fact that the bank has both the liquidity
and the capital to support growth, that we felt comfortable about the bank's
credit facilities, and that our cost structure is suitable for the future. The
biggest challenge in times of low growth in society is thus creating growth in
the bank's top line. 

The bank's outreach initiatives were intensified in 2012, when an investment
was made in a further extension of the bank's Private Banking platform at
national level. It is also planned to step up the outreach activities in the
branch network in Central and West Jutland in autumn 2012. 

A highly positive increase in customers is currently being seen in the branch
network and within the Private Banking segment, with transfers of deposits,
pension and securities customers. To date, the growth in lending has been
swallowed up by repayments on the loans portfolio. In the bank's judgment, we
are, however, currently enhancing the foundation for future earnings. 



Accounting policies and key figures

The accounting policies are unchanged relative to the presented and audited
2011 annual report. It is, however, noted that in its internal accounts, the
bank is booking the fixed expenses of the Guarantee Fund for Depositors and
Investors under other operating expenses from 2012. 



Expectations for earnings in 2012

The core earnings were DKK 206 million against DKK 198 million last year, an
increase of 4%, and are now approaching the top of the range of DKK 300-400
million reported for the entire year.

Statement by management and board of directors

The board of directors and management have today considered and approved the
interim report for Ringkjoebing Landbobank A/S for the period 1 January - 30
June 2012. 

The interim report was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish
Act on Financial Activities and further Danish requirements on listed financial
companies concerning disclosure. We consider the accounting policies to be
appropriate and the accounting estimates made to be responsible, such that the
interim report provides a true and fair view of the bank's assets, liabilities
and financial position as of 30 June 2012 and of the bank's activities for the
period 1 January - 30 June 2012. We also believe that the management report
etc. contain a true and fair review of the developments in the bank's
activities and financial circumstances, and a description of the most important
risks and uncertainty factors which could affect the bank. 

The interim report was not audited or reviewed, but the external auditors have
checked that the conditions for ongoing inclusion of the earnings for the
period in the Tier 1 capital have been met.
