Trust Overview

CurrencySharesSM Swedish Krona Trust (the "Trust") is a grantor trust that was formed on June 8, 2006. The Trust issues shares (the "Shares") in blocks of 50,000 each (a "Basket") in exchange for deposits of Swedish Kronor and distributes Swedish Kronor in connection with the redemption of Baskets.

The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust does not have any officers, directors or employees. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Swedish Krona plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of the Swedish Krona.

The Shares, which began trading on June 26, 2006, trade under the ticker symbol "FXS" on NYSE Arca. Investing in the Shares does not insulate the investor from certain risks, including price volatility.

Definition and Calculation of Net Asset Value

The net asset value ("NAV") of the Trust is the aggregate value, expressed in U.S. Dollars ("USD"), of the Trust's assets. To calculate the NAV, The Bank of New York (the "Trustee") adds to the amount of Swedish Kronor in the Trust at the end of the preceding business day accrued but unpaid interest, Swedish Kronor receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsor's fee, Swedish Kronor payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any.


The NAV is expressed in USD based on the Noon Buying Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Noon Buying Rate has not been determined and announced by 2:00 PM (New York time), then the most recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York determination of the Noon Buying Rate shall be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares.

The Sponsor publishes the NAV and NAV per Share on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading on the Trust's website, www.currencyshares.com .

The following chart illustrates the movement in the price of the Shares based on NAV per Share and the "bid" and "ask" midpoint offered on the NYSE (prior to October 30, 2007) and NYSE Arca (on or after October 30, 2007) as of the Noon Buying Rate versus the corresponding Swedish Kronor (expressed as a multiple of 1,000 Swedish Krona - Noon Buying Rate x 1,000):

Liquidity

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trust's liquidity needs. The Trust's Depository, JPMorgan Chase, London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that earns interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate paid as of July 31, 2008, was an annual nominal rate of 3.85%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since the Shares began trading:

In exchange for a fee, the Trust's Sponsor bears most of the expense incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor's fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest and the Trustee withdraws Swedish Kronor from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsor's fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited exceeds the sum of the Sponsor's fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). Distributions paid during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire year going forward, and is calculated by annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below):

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report.

In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

The Trustee calculates the Trust's NAV each business day. For NAV calculation purposes, Swedish Krona Deposits (cash) are translated at the Noon Buying Rate as determined and published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of 12:00 PM (New York time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading.

The functional currency of the Trust is the Swedish Krona in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 52, Foreign Currency Translation.
