FAIRWINDS Credit Union
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of
FAIRWINDS Credit Union and Subsidiaries
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of FAIRWINDS Credit Union and Subsidiaries,
which comprise the consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended,
and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
September 30, 2015 And 2014
Note 1 - 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.

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

The Credit Union routinely conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine
whether any OTTI has occurred. 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.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Credit Union categorizes commercial loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the
borrower to service their debts such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation,
public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. 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.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered
to be prime or pass rated loans. At September 30, 2015 and 2014 and based on the most recent analysis performed, the
risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

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:

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 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

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.
