Your Tomorrow Starts Here | 2013 Noventis Credit Union Annual Report Page 4 of 18 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”. — Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Board of Directors of Noventis Credit Union Your Tomorrow Starts Here | 2013 Noventis Credit Union Annual Report Page 5 of 18 Meet the Board Lee Gregory Chair Peggy Vigfusson Vice Chair Joanne Warwick Secretary Paul Cuthbert Director Sandra Falk Director Clayton Gibson Director Marlene Michno Director Barrie Sigurdson Director John Sigurdson Director Nolan Sigvaldason Director Bragi Simundsson Director Jonas Thorarinson Director Your Tomorrow Starts Here | 2013 Noventis Credit Union Annual Report 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. Page 6 of 18 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.

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. Your Tomorrow Starts Here | 2013 Noventis Credit Union Annual Report Page 8 of 18 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. Cooperative Development $8,676 $43,455 Community Renewal Environmental Sustainability $2,185 $45,350 Family & Social Connections Health & Well-Being Youth & Education $7,514 $51,220 Your Tomorrow Starts Here | 2013 Noventis Credit Union Annual Report Page 9 of 18 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 quality of services ensures we can meet our goals as an organization. 5,300 Training Hours 2010 2011 2012 2013 Technology The financial services industry continues to evolve to provide enhanced service options and we are changing with it. We have added e-transfers to complement a wide variety of options 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.
