full year net loss of NGN 76.7 billion (EUR 371.9 million) before the

This was driven by gross revenues of NGN 112.8 billion (EUR 546.8 million)
at group level, and gross revenues of NGN 96.5 billion (EUR 467.7 million),
net interest income of NGN 58.6 billion (EUR 284.1 million), and fee,

level year end.
Bank operating income was up 85% year-over-year coming in at NGN 73.9
billion (EUR 358.1 million) compared to NGN 39.9 billion (EUR 193.6
million) in 2011.
Deposits grew 21% year-over-year, with total deposits at NGN 485.5 billion
(EUR 2,353.6 million). Net loans decreased 5%, at NGN 137.0 billion (EUR
664.0 million) for full year 2012, while investment securities increased to
NGN 280.4 billion (EUR 1,359.5 million), up 14% year-over-year. Total
assets ended the year at NGN 886.5 billion (EUR 4,297.3 million), up NGN
59.3 billion (EUR 287.5 million), (7%), versus 2011.
Net interest margins improved significantly to 10.0% at year-end 2012, an
increase of 150% year-over-year. Weighted average asset yields settled at
13.4%, up from 9.1% at year-end 2011. UBN's funding costs also improved to
4.8% at year-end 2012 versus 5.2% in 2011, notwithstanding the 21% increase
in deposits.
Operational expenditure fell 10% year-over-year to NGN 66.2 billion (EUR
321.0 million), with cost to income roughly halving, from 172% to 90% at
year-end 2012. Q4 2012 saw a considerable uptick in operating expenditure
(+89%) versus Q3 2012, part of UBN's transformation plan.

Karima Ola, CIO of ADC commented: 'The results clearly show that UBN's
transformation is on track, with all expenses relating to the recent
recapitalization and clean-up of the loan portfolio now incorporated in the
2012 results. The core management team is complete with ex-Citibank
(Nigeria) CEO, Emeka Emuwa, at the helm. Mr Emuwa is continuing to drive
UBN's restructuring, via upgrading staff quality, operating infrastructure,
customer base and operational efficiency, putting the bank in a strong
position for future growth.'
