Message from
the Board of Directors
“Cooperative enterprises build a better world,” was the slogan for
the International Year of the Cooperative. This slogan is expressed
in the mission statement of Noventis Credit Union. “Providing
quality financial services and support for our members and
our communities.”
One of the instruments that Noventis has established to extend
our commitment to our mission statement and the above slogan,
is through our Corporate Social Responsibility program. The
CSR committee is composed of six members, two of each, board
members, staff, and senior management. Their objective is that,
“The CSR committee supports the organization’s commitment
to connecting and strengthening our communities by responsibly
contributing to their development and well being. The goal of
CSR is to embrace responsibility for the organization’s actions
and through its activities, encourage a positive impact on the
environment, members, employees, communities, and all other
members of the public sphere who may also be considered as
stakeholders.” In the past year, Noventis contributed $158,400
back to our communities through the CSR and sponsorship
program. Details of how to apply for funding and where the funds
were allocated can be found at www.noventis.ca.
The squeeze on financial margins in the Credit Union system
the last number of years had inspired some of the legacy Credit
Unions to look for other options to generate additional income.
Previously, Arborg Credit Union acquired Sigvaldason Insurance,
and Gimli Credit Union purchased a 49% share in Interlake
Agencies, with the agreement to purchase the remaining 51%
share on May 1, 2013. Noventis also acted on another opportunity
this year to purchase Norstar Insurance. The three agencies
have now been amalgamated into one organization, Interlake
Agencies Ltd. operating as Interlake Insurance and Real Estate,
which is a subsidiary of Noventis Credit Union. Richard Arnason,
the former owner of Interlake Agencies, was hired to execute the
amalgamation of the subsidiaries and has been appointed VP of
Insurance and Real Estate for Noventis. There were renovations
that needed to be made at the Arborg location to accommodate
the staff from Norstar Insurance, and the building in Riverton
had outlived its useful life and a new building was constructed on
the same property this past fall. Both Sigvaldason Insurance and
Interlake Agencies have contributed significant returns to Noventis
and we predict that will strengthen, with greater income being
generated going forward with the new organization. This is going
to assist in maintaining profitability for the Credit Union with the
continual increases in cost for regulatory compliance and the
change in federal taxation rate for Credit Unions increases from
11% – 15% over the next five years.
This summer the installation of an ATM terminal at Winnipeg
Beach was completed. This was the final Noventis branch to
receive ATM service. Now all our members have access to 24/ 7
banking services, through the ATM’s at each branch.
Keeping pace with emerging technology is always a challenge, and
staying current is necessary if we are going to keep our younger
and more tech savvy members loyal to our Credit Union. We need
to support legacy users and also evolve to a digital world. We
redeveloped our web site to enhance the integration of the website
and the on-line banking, so we have a more seamless contact with
members on-line. The website will be a large part of our marketing
strategy in the future as more members are moving towards using
web based services as opposed to in-branch services.
This past year marked a change in director election procedure. In
addition to being able to vote at the annual meeting, members
had the opportunity to cast their ballot at their branch one week
prior to the annual meeting. This year we have two new directors,
Nolan Sigvaldason was elected for a three year term for the Arborg
district, and Clayton Gibson was appointed for a one year term
for the Eriksdale district. The board would like to thank out going
director Eric Fridfinnson for his years of service to both Noventis
and also to the Arborg Credit Union.
An organization is defined by its people. Noventis is fortunate to
have excellent staff, as was confirmed in the Mystery Shoppers
Report. The report stated, “Overall, the Mystery Shop produced
very positive results across the board. Words used to describe the
Noventis Credit Union experience included, efficient, excellent,
great, pleasant, and very good.” The board would like to thank
the management and staff for their commitment to training, and
their dedication to benefiting the members of Noventis with high
quality service.
We would also like to thank you, the membership, for your
commitment to having Noventis Credit Union as your financial
institution of choice. By working together in a cooperative manner,
we can realize our mission of “providing quality financial services
and support for our members and communities,” and in doing so,
“build a better world”.

of Noventis Credit Union

Meet the CEO
It has been my pleasure to
serve as CEO for Noventis
Credit Union over the past year.
It has been an exciting year for
Noventis as we reflect on our
successes and challenges.
Success has included
achieving a moderate level
of growth, maintaining
profitability and improving
some of our measurements
of success. Our strength is
Kevin McKnight
in our people and a strong
Chief Executive Officer
commitment to the success
of the communities that we support through funding and
sponsorship programs. We have expanded our presence in
the insurance and real estate business which will benefit our
membership and the Interlake communities.

Executive Team
“We would like to recognize
the staff of Noventis Credit
Union and Interlake Agencies
for their hard work, dedication
and commitment to providing
quality services and support to
our communities”
A tight financial margin environment will continue to be a
challenge for us as we must ensure our long term sustainability
so we can continue to maintain services in our communities.
The advancement of technology increases the expectation of our
membership for convenient options and we are pleased to list
a number of enhanced service offerings including e-transfers,
mobile banking and text banking to complement our excellent inperson and on-line options.
I am excited about the plans for Noventis Credit Union as our
team looks to the future with strategies for growth and long
term sustainability. Our teams are focused on adding value
to every member experience and we are well positioned to
meet every challenge. I am proud of our teams’ work and look
forward to the future.

Member Benefits
Member ownership has its benefits!
Equity
Patronage Refund
This year the Board declared a patronage refund of $252,729
based on service charges paid by eligible members with more
than $40,000 of business with the credit union. This refund was
provided through the Member Value Pricing Program in the form
of member surplus shares.
Capital Requirements
One of the regulatory requirements placed on credit unions
is to maintain adequate capital at a minimum level of 5%
of assets. The Noventis policy is to maintain a minimum of
5.875% of assets. The global standard for capital suggests that
retained earnings are the preferred form of capital. A strong
capital position allows financial institutions to survive the risk
associated with market shifts.
Share Redemption
To keep a strong financial position, the Board plans to redeem the
members’ share capital over time and replace shares with retained
earnings. This year Noventis Credit Union paid out a total of
$787,325 to redeem shares as follows:
$96,040
Common shares
redeemed to estates
and members over 65.
$207,285
Surplus shares
redeemed to estates
and members over 65.
$484,000
Member Value
Pricing surplus shares
redeemed to members.
$31M
(6.19%)
76% Retained
24% Members
Looking Forward to 2014
Annually as a result of the year end financial position, the
Board determines what amount of income can be shared
with members as a cash payout for redemption of shares.
To maintain our capital requirements of 5.875% the income
sharing to members from 2012/2013, to be paid through
share redemption in 2014, is approximately $599,815.

Corporate Social
Responsibility
Supporting our communities is a
cornerstone of our philosophy and
mission. This is accomplished through
activities such as funding community
organizations, time commitments and
volunteerism of our staff.
2013
Our funding program gives preference to the following:
• Community Renewal
• Cooperative Development
• Environmental Sustainability
• Family and Social Connections
• Health and Well-being
• Youth and Education
We fund specific projects and also provide much sponsorship to
local community groups, sports teams and education initiatives.
In 2013 we provided $158,400 in economic support to
our member communities.

Results
The 2012-13 year has seen Noventis
grow its assets to $508 Million. The
organization measures its success
in a balanced approach considering
perspectives from members,
financial, internal processes and
learning and growth.
Member Satisfaction
Member Service Excellence
Quality service and providing value to meet member needs
are our priority. To assist staff in meeting those needs, all
staff received customer service training as part of the ongoing
commitment to improve value to the member experience. Our
members assisted us in assessing our performance through
mystery shopping trips where information was gathered on
individual experiences. This positions us well for future success.
Sustainable Financial Growth
Member Deposits grew by 6.0% and lending grew by 6.6%. This
positive trend in asset growth is expected to continue as we target
to achieve a 7% growth rate per year for sustainability. Financial
margins are tighter due to the low interest rate environment.
Assets now total $508 Million.

The financial services industry continues to evolve to provide

including mobile, text, on-line and ATM services. We continue to
prepare our systems and infrastructure for future enhancements
to services.
Business Development
Noventis expanded its ownership in Interlake Agencies and also
purchased business from Norstar Insurance. Its three insurance
businesses of Sigvaldason (Arborg/Riverton), Norstar (Arborg)
and Interlake (Gimli/Arborg) will now be operating as a single
business under Interlake Insurance and Real Estate. This type of
diversification of our operations is planned to improve our sustainability over the long term and it also ensures the stability of insurance services in our communities.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Members of Noventis Credit Union Ltd.:
The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements, which comprise the summary consolidated statement of financial position
as at September 30, 2013, and the summary consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in members’ equity and cash
flows for the year ended September 30, 2013 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Noventis Credit Union
Ltd. for the year ended September 30, 2013. We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our
report dated December 16, 2013.
The summary consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting
Standards. Reading the summary consolidated financial statements, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited consolidated
financial statements of Noventis Credit Union Ltd.
Management’s Responsibility for the Summary Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the summary consolidated financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the summary consolidated financial statements based on our procedures, which were
conducted in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standard (CAS) 810, “Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements”.
Opinion
In our opinion, the summary consolidated financial statements derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Noventis
Credit Union Ltd. for the year ended September 30, 2013 are a fair summary of those consolidated financial statements.
