Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of FAIRWINDS Credit Union and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business FAIRWINDS Credit Union’s (the “Credit Union”) operations are principally related to holding deposits for and making loans to individuals who qualify for membership. The field of membership consists of persons living or working in Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard, or Polk counties in the State of Florida, those who work for one of the Credit Union’s preferred business partners, are active or retired military personnel or dependents receiving military benefits and immediate family members of current members. FAIRWINDS Financial Services, L.L.C. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Credit Union. FAIRWINDS Financial Services, L.L.C.’s operations represent less than 1% of the consolidated totals for 2015 and 2014. FAIRWINDS Insurance Services, L.L.C. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FAIRWINDS Credit Union created to provide insurance products for members of the Credit Union. FAIRWINDS Insurance Services, L.L.C.’s operations represent less than 1% of the consolidated totals for 2015 and 2014. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Credit Union and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, FAIRWINDS Financial Services, L.L.C. and FAIRWINDS Insurance Services, L.L.C. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash Equivalents The consolidated statements of cash flows classify changes in cash or cash equivalents (short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible into cash with an original maturity of three months or less) according to operating, investing or financing activities. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Credit Union to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and temporary cash investments. At times, cash balances held at financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits. The Credit Union places its temporary cash investments with high-credit, quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Credit Union believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash investments. Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported mounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Annual Report 2015 29 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investment Securities Generally accepted accounting principles requires that management determine the classification of individual investment securities as trading securities, investments available-for-sale or investments held-to-maturity. The Credit Union’s investments in securities for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are classified and accounted for as follows: Trading Securities Trading investments of various mutual funds and are carried at their fair values. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as they occur. Held-to-Maturity Securities Securities for which the Credit Union has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest income using the straight-line method, which materially approximates the interest method, over the period to maturity. Available-for-Sale Securities Securities available-for-sale consists of securities not otherwise classified as trading securities or as securities to be held-to-maturity and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other-thantemporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), management considers: (1) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Credit Union to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the length of the lease term. Assets classified as construction-in-process are not depreciated until the asset has been completed and placed into service. NCUSIF Deposit The deposit in the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) is in accordance with National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) regulations, which require the maintenance of a deposit by each insured credit union in an amount equal to one percent of its insured shares. The deposit would be refunded to the credit union if its insurance coverage is terminated, it converts to insurance coverage from another source, or the operations 30 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) of the fund are transferred from the NCUA Board. The NCUSIF deposit is required to be reviewed for impairment, including consideration of the refundability of the deposit. Loans to Members Loans the Credit Union has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are stated at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees and discounts. Interest on loans is recognized over the term of the loan and is calculated using the simple-interest method on principal amounts outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is wellsecured and in the process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the straight-line method over the contractual life of the loans. The straight-line method, which is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not materially different from the interest method, which is required under generally accepted accounting principles. The Credit Union may be exposed to credit risk from a regional economic standpoint because a significant concentration of its borrowers work or reside in the Orlando, Florida metropolitan area. The Credit Union continually monitors the Credit Union’s operations, including the loan and investment portfolios, for potential impairment. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Annual Report 2015 31 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Credit Union’s allowance for loan losses is that amount considered adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio based on management’s evaluations of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. Such evaluations consider prior loss experience, the risk rating distribution of the portfolios, the impact of current internal and external influences on credit loss and the levels of non-performing loans. Specific allowances for loan losses are established for large impaired loans on an individual basis as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The specific allowances established for these loans is based on a thorough analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the loan’s estimated market value, or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. General allowances are established for loans that can be grouped into pools based on similar characteristics as described in generally accepted accounting principles. In this process, general allowance factors are based on an analysis of historical charge-off experience and expected losses given default derived from the Credit Union’s internal risk rating process. These factors are developed and applied to the portfolio in terms of loan type. The qualitative factors associated with the allowances are subjective and require a high degree of management judgment. These factors include the credit quality statistics, recent economic uncertainty, losses incurred from recent events and lagging data. The following loan portfolio segments have been identified: commercial, first mortgages, home equity, secured, and unsecured. A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected to be received. Real estate loans for which the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are classified as impaired. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan or management chooses to consider the collateral value of the loan in the evaluation of the allowance, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans, such as auto, other secured and unsecured loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Loans Held-for-Sale Loans held-for-sale consists of residential real estate loans and is recorded at the lower of cost or market value. Market price is determined on an aggregate basis based on commitments from investors to purchase such loans and prevailing market rates. Federal Home Loan Bank Participation Stock The Credit Union is a member in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Credit Union owned 60,610 and 48,989 shares of non-marketable participation stock for $6,061,000 and $4,898,900, respectively, with quarterly stock and/or cash dividends. 32 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Income Taxes The Credit Union and its Subsidiaries are exempt from most federal, state and local income taxes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and state tax laws. The Credit Union is a state-chartered credit union as described in Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 501(c)(14). As such, the Credit Union is exempt from federal taxation of income derived from the performance of activities that are in furtherance of its exempt purposes. However, IRC Section 511 imposes a tax on the unrelated business income (as defined in Section 512) derived by state-chartered credit unions. Many states have similar laws. The specific application of Section 512 to the various activities conducted by state-chartered credit unions has been an issue for many years. In 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a series of Technical Advice Memoranda (“TAM”) to a number of state-chartered credit unions located throughout the country. In these TAMs, the IRS ruled certain products and services to be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In light of the TAMs, the Credit Union has assessed its activities and any potential federal or state income tax liability. In the opinion of management, any liability arising from federal or state taxation of activities deemed to be unrelated to its exempt purpose is not expected to have a material effect on the Credit Union’s financial condition or results of operations. The Credit Union’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities and open tax periods include 2011 - 2015. Members’ Shares and Savings Accounts Members’ shares are subordinated to all other liabilities of the Credit Union upon liquidation. Interest on members’ shares and savings accounts is based on available earnings at the end of an interest period and is not guaranteed by the Credit Union. Interest rates on members’ shares accounts are set by the Board of Directors, based on an evaluation of current and future market conditions. Assets Acquired in Liquidation of Loans Assets acquired in liquidation of loans represent collateral used to secure members’ loans that have been acquired by the Credit Union in an effort to settle the members’ loan and are recorded at the lower of cost or market less costs of liquidation. Upon acquisition, the Credit Union determines fair value of the collateral and any losses are charged-off through the allowance for loan losses. The Credit Union continues to review these properties for subsequent impairment and any subsequent declines in fair value are recorded through current period earnings. Risks and Uncertainties The Credit Union invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of earnings. Annual Report 2015 33 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Mortgage Servicing Rights The cost of mortgage loans for which there is a definitive plan to sell are allocated to the loan and rights to service mortgage loans based on their relative fair values. The cost of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is amortized proportionately over the period of estimated net servicing revenue. The Credit Union has pooled certain mortgage servicing rights together based on certain risk characteristics and is amortizing these servicing rights over the estimated average life of those loans. As of September 30, 2015, the carrying value approximates the fair market value of the mortgage servicing rights. For measuring impairment, mortgage servicing rights are stratified based on predominate risk characteristics of the underlying loans. These characteristics include loan type, loan size, interest rate, date of origination, loan term and geographic region. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights used in measuring impairment is based upon quoted market prices. Impairment of capitalized servicing rights is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum, as necessary. Subsequent Events The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures include evaluation of events up through and including January 4, 2016, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Reclassification/Presentation Certain information in the 2014 consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. 34 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 2 - Investment Securities The carrying amounts of investment securities as shown in the consolidated statements of financial condition of the Credit Union and their approximate fair values at September 30, 2015 are as follows: Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains (Losses) Value Securities available-for-sale: Federal agency securities $ 262,177,036$ 1,554,909$ (675,280)$ 263,056,665 Collateralized mortgage obligations 221,079,569 1,291,179 (1,627,705) 220,743,043 Mortgage-backed securities 42,050,968 768,594 - 42,819,562 Corporate bonds 55,140,576272,522(43,747) 55,369,351 Total securities available-for-sale $580,448,149$3,887,204$(2,346,732) $581,988,621 Securities to be held-to-maturity: Mortgage-backed securities $808,682$61,600$-$870,282 The amortized cost and estimated market value of debt securities, at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

The mutual funds had a fair value of $12,114,225 and $8,104,395 as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unrealized losses as of September 30, 2015 have not been recognized into income because they are not considered to be other-than-temporary. Management considers the unrealized losses to be market driven, rather than credit driven and no loss will be realized unless the securities are sold.

Economic models are used to determine whether an OTTI has occurred on these securities. While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by OTTI testing are collateralized mortgage obligations, specifically collateralized mortgage obligations issued by non-governmental agencies. For each private collateralized mortgage obligation in the investment, including but not limited to those whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis, an extensive, regular review is conducted to determine if an OTTI has occurred. Various inputs to the economic model are used to determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. The most significant inputs are the default rate and the loss severity rates of the underlying collateral of the securities. Other inputs may include the actual collateral attributes, which include geographic concentrations, credit ratings and other performance indicators of the underlying assets. 36 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 2 - Investment Securities (Continued) To determine if the unrealized loss of these securities is other-than-temporary, the Credit Union projects total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiplies that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the impact on cash flows. If the Credit Union determines that a given position will be subject to a write-down or loss, the Credit Union records the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings while the non-credit portion is recorded to other comprehensive income. The carrying amounts of investment securities as shown in the consolidated statements of financial condition of the Credit Union and their approximate fair values at September 30, 2014 are as follows: Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains (Losses) Value Securities available-for-sale: Federal agency securities $ 237,269,373$ 382,839$ (5,016,725)$ 232,635,487 Collateralized mortgage obligations 274,034,324 1,208,101 (6,640,822) 268,601,603 Mortgage-backed securities 52,271,927 504,723 (130,697) 52,645,953 Corporate bonds 40,200,279185,607(101,136) 40,284,750 $603,775,903$2,281,270$(11,889,380) $594,167,793 Total securities available-for-sale Securities to be held-to-maturity: Mortgage-backed securities Annual Report 2015 $1,099,843$90,103$- $1,189,946 37 Note 3 - Loans to Members The composition of loans to members is as follows: Commercial loans 2015 2014 $ 111,906,106 $ 88,308,990 First mortgages 534,433,053 427,992,727 Home equity80,241,54197,021,299 Secured 346,576,139 263,189,791 Unsecured71,830,79367,080,785 Net deferred loan origination fees/costs 5,332,500 3,453,828 Total 1,150,320,132 947,047,420 Less: allowance for loan losses 12,515,388 14,919,679 Total loans to members $1,137,804,744 $932,127,741 Impaired Loans Loan impairment is measured by estimating the expected future cash flows or by valuing the underlying collateral.

The Credit Union analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The Credit Union uses the following definitions for classified risk rating: Special Mention - The loan has potential weaknesses, such as negative financial trends, a limited financial history, a serious documentation flaw, or inadequate control on the part of the Credit Union. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset. However, a loan rated “special mention” is considered fully collectible. Annual Report 2015 39 Note 3 - Loans to Members (Continued) Substandard - A loan is “substandard” if there is the potential for loss. Such loans have well-defined weaknesses and are not fully protected either by the paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the secondary source of repayment. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Credit Union could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful and Loss - The lowest risk ratings of “doubtful” and “loss” indicate increased loss potential. Such loans should have already been recognized and, more than likely, charged-off.

There were no outstanding advances as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Credit Union maintains a credit agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, maximum credit available of $273,097,213 at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Credit Union had advanced $105,000,000 and $75,000,000, respectively, against this line-of-credit agreement in the form of term notes. Interest rates on advances from the FHLB are determined at the time of the advances and collateral in the form of mortgage securities are pledged at the time of the advance.

Annual Report 2015 47 Note 7 - Members’ Equity Regulatory Capital The Credit Union is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the NCUA. Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Credit Union’s consolidated financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Credit Union must meet specific capital regulations that involve quantitative measures of the Credit Union’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under generally accepted accounting practices. The Credit Union’s capital amounts and net worth classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Credit Union to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of net worth to total assets. Credit unions are also required to calculate a Risk-Based Net Worth Requirement (RBNWR) which establishes whether or not the credit union will be considered complex under the regulatory framework. The Credit Union’s RBNWR ratio as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 6.7% and 6.8%, respectively. The minimum ratio to be considered complex under the regulatory framework is 6.0%. Management believes as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, that the Credit Union meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Credit Union was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Credit Union must maintain a minimum net worth as follows: To Be Well Capitalized Under the Prompt Corrective Action Actual Provision Amount Ratio Amount Ratio September 30, 2015 Net worth 9.57% $ 132,960,221 7.00% $168,813,875 9.58% $ 123,383,645 7.00% September 30, 2014 Net worth 48 $181,745,866 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 8 - Related Party Transactions The majority of employees and all members of the Board of Directors have member accounts at the Credit Union, including share, deposit and loan accounts. The terms of transactions involving these accounts (i.e., rates charged and paid) are comparable to other members. Included in loans receivable at September 30, 2015 and 2014 are loans of $5,193,225 and $5,087,851, respectively, to directors and officers of the Credit Union. Such loans are made in the ordinary course of business at normal credit terms including interest rates and collateralization. Annual Report 2015 49 Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities The principal commitments of the Credit Union are as follows: Lease Commitments At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Credit Union had outstanding commitments under noncancellable operating leases for office space for several branch locations. Net rent expenses under the operating leases, included in expenses, were $2,681,137 and $2,443,924 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The projected minimum rental payments under the terms of the leases at September 30, 2015 are as follows: Year Ending September 30: 2016 $2,274,556 2017 927,889 2018 449,414 2019 322,310 2020 and thereafter 285,358 Total $4,259,527 Loan Commitments At September 30, 2015, the Credit Union had outstanding commitments for unused lines-of-credit that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as follows: Home equity $ 51,891,709 Lines-of-credit21,446,713 Credit cards 196,167,031 Overdraft privilege program49,976,469 Commercial21,220,186 Construction 3,134,163 Mortgage 2,463,916 Total $346,300,187 The Credit Union is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its members and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional 50 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 9 - Commitments and Contigent Liabilities (Continued) amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Credit Union has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Credit Union’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Credit Union uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Commitments to extend credit, generally unsecured Commitments to extend credit, home-equity secured Commitments to extend credit, commercial lending Total $ 270,724,376 54,355,625 21,220,186 $346,300,187 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a member as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have termination clauses or fixed expiration dates. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Credit Union evaluates each member’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Credit Union upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the member and classification of loan. Annual Report 2015 51 Note 10 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments The Credit Union uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Credit Union’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement on the instrument. The definition of fair value focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions, other than in a forced liquidation or distressed sale. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in the valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. Fair Value Hierarchy The Credit Union groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value into three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Basis of Fair Value Measurements Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined by using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. 52 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 10 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) A financial instrument’s categorization with the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Credit Union in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Investment Securities Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Loans Receivable Fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received for a loan or group of loans using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and the same remaining maturities. This method considers interest rate changes and credit risk changes within the discount rate chosen. A single discount rate is applied to homogeneous categories of loans such as credit cards and automobile loans. Members’ Savings Accounts The fair value disclosed for shares, share draft and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate share certificates are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on shares and certificates. Borrowed Funds The fair value of fixed maturity borrowings is estimated using the rates currently offered for borrowings with similar remaining maturities. Investments in Life Insurance Contracts Fair values are based on amounts that could be realized at the consolidated statement of financial condition date. Commitments to Extend Credit The estimated fair value of the commitments to extend credit represents the Credit Union’s potentially unfunded commitments under such lines-of-credit. Annual Report 2015 53 Note 10 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015, Using Quoted Prices in Other Active MarketSignificantSignificant for Identical Observable Unobservable Total Assets Inputs Inputs Carrying (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Value Trading securities $-$12,114,225$-$12,114,225 Available-for-sale securities $-$581,988,621$-$581,988,621 Investments in life insurance contracts $-$13,383,236$-$13,383,236 Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2014, Using Quoted Prices in Other Active MarketSignificantSignificant for Identical Observable Unobservable Total Assets Inputs Inputs Carrying (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Value Trading securities $- $8,104,395$-$8,104,395 Available-for-sale securities $-$594,167,793$-$594,167,793 Investments in life insurance contracts $-$13,623,136$-$13,623,136 54 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 10 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015, Using Quoted Prices in Other Active MarketSignificantSignificant for Identical Observable Unobservable Total Assets Inputs Inputs Carrying (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Value Other real estate owned $-$12,673,597$-$12,673,597 Impaired loans $-$5,564,970$16,123,361$21,688,331 Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2014, Using Quoted Prices in Other Active MarketSignificantSignificant for Identical Observable Unobservable Total Assets Inputs Inputs Carrying (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Value Other real estate owned $-$14,114,266$-$14,114,266 Impaired loans $-$7,694,937$22,821,130$30,516,067 Annual Report 2015 55 Note 10 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Credit Union’s financial instruments at September 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: 2015 2014 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amounts Value Amounts Value Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ Investment securities 36,116,880 $ 36,116,880 $ 96,978,305 $ 594,911,528 594,973,128 603,372,031 13,383,236 13,383,236 96,978,305 603,462,134 Investment in life insurance contracts 13,623,136 13,623,136 Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses 1,137,804,744 1,143,132,000 932,127,741 951,856,000 Financial liabilities: Members’ shares and savings accounts $1,597,016,486 $1,534,633,840 $1,515,327,187 $1,460,949,486 Borrowed funds 105,000,000 111,616,400 75,000,000 81,713,000 Unrecognized financial instruments: 56 Commitments to extend credit $-$346,300,187$-$307,422,374 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 11 - 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan The Credit Union has a 401(k) profit sharing plan that covers substantially all employees. Contributions by the Credit Union included in the determination of net earnings for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 amounted to approximately $1,098,000 and $956,000, respectively. Annual Report 2015 57 Note 12 - Deferred Compensation Plan The Credit Union has a deferred compensation plan covering certain management employees which will be payable upon the employees retirement or termination. The liability at September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $146,600 and $178,200, respectively and is included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Credit Union has three Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) that guarantee specific payments be made to key executives once eligibility requirements are met. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the obligation to the executives was $4,357,737 and $3,460,629, respectively. The SERPs were established to provide periodic benefit payments for each executive to be paid when they reach certain ages. The amounts are paid as a lump-sum, with the final payment to be made at age 65 determined based on the 5 highest years of compensation paid to the executive between the date the agreements were signed and retirement age. The Credit Union anticipates payments under the terms of the SERPs to be as follows: Year Ending September 30: 2016 $ 500,000 2017 500,000 2018 - 2019 - 2020 - 5 years thereafter 3,911,755 $4,911,755 The Credit Union has invested in assets, which consist of mutual funds, life insurance and annuity contracts, to informally fund the deferred compensation plans. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Credit Union had assets valued at $25,497,461 and $21,727,531, respectively, related to these plans. The assets would be available to general creditors in the event of liquidation of the Credit Union’s assets. 58 FAIRWINDS Credit Union Note 13 - Servicing Portfolio The Credit Union was servicing $139,070,771 and $146,859,140 of unpaid FNMA mortgage balances at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

These amounts are included in fees and charges on the consolidated statements of earnings. Custodial funds in escrow represent member payments for principal and interest, as well as for taxes and insurance. These amounts are held in escrow, with a corresponding liability recorded until the date that such funds are released by the Credit Union for their intended purpose. The total amount of escrow funds at September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,099,195 and $2,028,776, respectively.
