We’re very lucky to live in this corner of the world. It’s hard to beat our mix of stunning
scenery, friendly communities and healthy lifestyles. Today that mix includes changes in
technology that connect us to each other faster, better and more productively, putting
the world at our fingertips. Now we can shrug off those snowbound winter days that
close roads and shut down airports. Or enjoy a guilt-free summer hike through the forest
without losing touch. Wherever we are, we’re connected. To our families. To our friends.
And now more than ever, to our finances.


Web 2.0 refers to new, easy-to-use and lightning-fast content delivery systems that let
people effortlessly share products, services and ideas. Improved interactivity allows
everyone equal access to opportunities and advantages, an example of how change
benefits all of us. The freedom of wireless connectivity. The community development
potential of social networking. The convenience of online banking. The efficiency of a
PDA, which – literally and figuratively – puts change in your pocket.


At Kootenay Savings, we see the clarity, choices and personal control offered by Web 2.0
as an extension of our commitment to friendly, straightforward and helpful customer
service. But it can’t replace seeing you unplugged and in person. Our doors are always
open, and we’re always happy to have you drop by. To us, new technology is a way to
enhance our relationship with you and vice versa. That’s why we think it’s essential to
invest in change. According to the past year’s increased profits, investment growth and
community involvement, the benefits of change are paying off.


Welcome to Annual Report 2.0.

  I used to work at a bank where they were really big on                   volunteer hundreds

Through the dedicated efforts of our employees and with the support of members,
Kootenay Savings enjoyed another highly successful year. We were able to share our
success with members in the form of a 10 percent patronage dividend for the sixth
consecutive year, and with communities by way of a half million dollar contribution to
the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation. As a community-based and member-
owned financial institution, Kootenay Savings has a vested interest in the financial well-
being of both members and communities alike and our results this past year allowed us
to put more than a little change in your pocket.

We surpassed growth objectives in both loans and deposits, as member utilization of
Kootenay Savings continued to rise. The Credit Union, Kootenay Savings Insurance
Services and Kootenay Savings MoneyWorks all had exceptional financial results that
contributed to the overall profitability of the organization.

Technology is a key tool in the operation of Kootenay Savings – both from a service
delivery and an internal operating perspective. This past year saw the launch of a new
online banking platform that integrates our website with home banking. Member response
has been very favourable, and Kootenay Savings’ member utilization of online banking is
among the highest in the industry. Technology-based improvements were also made to
streamline paper-based processes and enhance internal management reporting systems.

Strategic planning is integral to the past and ongoing success of our organization. We
developed new Vision and Values statements in 2006, which are reflective of what we
stand for, and what behaviours we expect. We built new strategic initiatives around the
key areas by which we measure our success – financial performance, member
satisfaction, employee satisfaction and community involvement.

Our employees are our most important asset, and one of the most significant
undertakings last year was the Career Development Initiative. This program was
launched to enhance the skills and knowledge of employees at all levels of the
organization by working individually with each employee. We want our employees to
view their employment at Kootenay Savings as a career and not just a job. Not only will
our employees benefit so too will our members from the improved quality of advice and
information our employees are able to provide.

Kootenay Savings is a significant employer in our region, employing almost 240 people.
Employees give back to their communities in a variety of ways and have a vested interest
in the success of our organization and in the Kootenay region. Our employees are
committed to learning through an educational assistance program which pays for
external business-related education and has an uptake of over 70 percent. We will
continue to invest in our employees as we strive to be the best place to work in the
communities we serve.

In an ever-increasing competitive environment, we must look for cost-effective ways to
continue to enhance our services and product offerings. One way to accomplish this is
through the establishment of strategic alliances and partnerships. In recent years,
Kootenay Savings has established alliances with other Credit Unions and partners in
areas such as syndicated commercial lending, technology development and training.

In 2006, Kootenay Savings, along with Nelson & District Credit Union and East Kootenay
Community Credit Union approved the formation of Kootenay Insurance Services Ltd.
This new company, which is equally owned by the three partners, was established to own,
operate and grow our general insurance business. This partnership is a model of what
Credit Unions can do to compete effectively in the marketplace.

Kootenay Savings continued to play an active role in supporting our communities.
In 2006, the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation contributed over $84,000 to
community organizations for worthwhile projects. The Foundation also distributed
$29,000 by way of high school bursaries and contributions to college foundations.
Additionally, Kootenay Savings was very active in sponsoring youth organizations,
schools and community events.

Board members and employees actively volunteered for many community organizations,
boards and youth activities. As a community-based financial institution, community
involvement and support is a big part of our culture, and one of the many reasons for our
success. We will continue to focus on this important role that we play in building a
stronger region.

The benefits of change are indeed paying off. Led by a dedicated and talented Board and
management team, and supported by a phenomenal group of employees, Kootenay
Savings will continue to build on its strengths and we will fulfill our vision – to be the best
provider of financial services and the best place to work in the communities we serve.

The consolidated financial statements and all other information contained in the Annual
Report are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of
Directors. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in
accordance with the requirements of the Credit Union Incorporation Act and appropriate
generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and include amounts based on informed
judgments and estimates of the expected effects of current events and transactions. Financial
information presented elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with that in the
consolidated financial statements.

In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of financial data, management relies on the
comprehensive internal accounting, operating and system controls. Controls include an
organizational structure providing for effective segregation of responsibilities, delegation of
authority and personal accountability, and careful selection and training of personnel; the
application of accounting and administrative policies and procedures necessary to ensure
adequate internal control over transactions, assets and records, as well as a continued program
of extensive internal audits. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability
for assets, and that assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition. The Board
of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee, comprised of four Directors, to review with
management and auditors the annual financial statements prior to submission to the Board of
Directors for final approval.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada LLP has been appointed by the membership as independent
auditors to examine and report on the consolidated financial statements and their report follows this
one. They have full and free access to the internal audit staff and the Audit Committee of the Board.

To the Members of Kootenay Savings Credit Union:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Kootenay Savings Credit Union as at
December 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash
flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Credit
Union’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Credit Union as at December 31, 2006 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2005, and for the year then ended,
prior to an adjustment for the accounting changes as described in note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements, were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without
reservation on those statements in their report dated February 10, 2006.

3     1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
4     Kootenay Savings Credit Union (“Credit Union”) is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and is
5     regulated under the Financial Institutions Act of British Columbia. Its primary business activities include
6     providing financing services to its members and the general public in the Kootenays from 13 branches and
7     through its insurance and financial management subsidiaries.
8
9     2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
10    A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
11    These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally
12    accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The financial statements include the accounts of Kootenay Savings
13    Credit Union and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kootenay Savings Insurance Services Ltd. and Kootenay
14    Savings MoneyWorks Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
15
16    B) CASH AND INVESTMENTS
17    Cash and investments comprise cash on hand, deposits, cheques and other items in transit plus all
18    securities, whether held with Credit Union Central of British Columbia (“CUCBC”) or other financial
19    institutions plus long-term investments in the shares of CUCBC and other entities (Note 4). Cash and
20    securities held with CUCBC are valued at cost. Investments in shares of CUCBC and others are held at
21    cost, except where there is a loss in value that is determined by management to be other than temporary,
22    in which case the investment is written down to recognize the impairment loss.
23
24    C) LOANS
25    Loans to members are stated at outstanding principal amounts net of a specific allowance for incurred
26    losses on impaired loans and a general provision. Loans are classified as impaired when there is no longer
27    reasonable assurance of timely collection of principal, and interest, generally when interest and principal is
28    90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. An allowance for losses
29    incurred on impaired loans is made to reduce the carrying amount of individual loans to the net estimated
30    realizable value.

2     D) REVENUE RECOGNITION
3     Interest income on loans is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest penalties received as a result of loan
4     prepayments by members are recognized as income in the year in which the prepayment is made, except in the
5     case where only minor modifications are made, when the penalty income is deferred and amortized over the
6     term of the loan. Loan origination fees are considered to be adjustments to loan yield and are deferred and
7     amortized to interest income over the term of the loan.
8
9     E) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
10    Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Property, plant and
11    equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the following methods and annual rates:
12             Buildings                                        4 - 5% declining balance
13             Parking lot                                      8% declining balance
14             Furniture                                        15 year straight line
15             Office equipment                                 8 years straight line
16             Computer equipment and software                  4- years straight line
                                                                 10
17             Leasehold improvements                           10 years straight line
18
19    F) PENSIONS AND POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS
20    The Credit Union is a member of a multi-employer pension plan, which is accounted for as a defined
21    contribution plan. Other post employment benefits earned by employees under a defined benefit plan are
22    determined using the projected unit credit actuarial method, pro-rated on service and are charged to the
23    Statement of Income as services are rendered. Adjustments arising from plan amendments, changes in
24    assumptions and experience gains are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated average
25    remaining services lives of the employees.
26
27    G) DIVIDENDS PAYABLE
28    Dividends declared and interest payable on share savings and equity shares are charged to earnings for the
29    year. A 4% dividend on membership shares and a .25% interest rate on share savings were declared for
30    2006. A 10% patronage dividend was declared on interest paid and received by eligible members while
31    utilizing Kootenay Savings Credit Union services in 2006. A 4% dividend on patronage equity shares was
32    declared for 2006.

2     H) FUTURE INCOME TAX
3     The Credit Union follows the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under the asset
4     and liability method, the change in the net future tax asset or liability is to be included in income. Future tax
5     assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
6     in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and
7     liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment
8     or substantive enactment.
9
10    I) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
11    Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing on the balance sheet
12    date; income and expenses are translated at average rates during the year. Foreign exchange gains or losses
13    arising from the translation or settlement of a monetary item denominated in a foreign currency are recorded
14    in Other Income. The Credit Union does not participate in the active trading of foreign currency positions.
15
16    J) DERIVATIVES
17    For derivative transactions treated as hedges, the Credit Union formally documents all relationships
18    between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for
19    undertaking various hedge transactions. The Credit Union also formally assesses, both at hedge inception
20    and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transactions are highly
21    effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item. Derivative transactions that
22    do not fulfill the hedge documentation requirements or the effectiveness criteria are accounted for on a
23    mark-to-market basis with gains/losses reported through the Statement of Income.
24
25    K) USE OF ESTIMATES
26    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
27    principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
28    assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the
29    reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use
30    of estimates relate to the loan loss provision, underlying loan security values, determination of investment
31    values and useful lives for amortization. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

2     L) GOODWILL
3     Goodwill arose on the acquisition of an insurance business and represents the excess of purchase price of
4     the acquired business over the amount allocated to assets acquired less liabilities assumed, based on their
5     fair values at acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but tested annually for impairment at the business
6     operating level. Goodwill is determined to be impaired when the fair value is less than its carrying amount.
7     If impaired, the Credit Union would recognize an impairment loss. There were no write-downs of goodwill
8     due to impairment during the year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 – $NIL).
9
10    3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES (Future Income Taxes and Accounting for Insurance Commissions)
11    As a result of a review of its accounting policies and applicable accounting pronouncements, the Credit Union
12    has concluded that the following restatements and change in policy are required.
13
14    Future Income Tax will include general loan loss reserves as a temporary difference in the calculation of Future
15    Income Tax expense and asset/liability balances, the Credit Union adjusted for 2004 $305,002 and for 2005
16    $12,216 of future income taxes through the Statement of Income on a retroactive basis.
17
18    Property and casualty Insurance commissions will be recognized as revenue as of the date of sale of the policy.
19    Accordingly, the Credit Union adjusted for 2004 $144,926 ($95,724 net of future income taxes) and for 2005
20    $523 ($345 net of future income taxes) of property and casualty commissions through the Statement of Income
21    on a retroactive basis.

12    Under governing legislation, the credit union must maintain, for liquidity purposes, deposits with CUCBC
13    of at least 8% of deposits and borrowings. Shares in CUCBC are required investments as a condition of
14    membership in CUCBC and are also required by provincial legislation. These investments, which are
15    determined by formulae based on Credit Union membership and assets, are realizable only on withdrawal
16    from membership. As there is no market for these financial instruments, their fair value is assumed to
17    approximate their carrying value.

1     15. OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION
2     Regulations to the Financial Institutions Act require disclosure of the following information:
3     A)    At December 31, 2006 outstanding loans and lines of credit issued directly or indirectly to directors,
4           officers and employees of the Credit Union amount to $6,634,494 (2005 – $ 6,832,073).
5     B)    Compensation of Credit Union management and staff includes the benefit of loans granted at the
6           lesser of the Credit Union's posted rate or the prescribed rates as set out by the Federal Government.
7           At December 31, 2006 these loans amounted to $6,100,176 (2005 – $6,238,314).
8     C)    Aggregate payments paid to directors in their capacity as directors, including honoraria, amounted to
9           $81,593 (2005 – $80,000).
10
11    16. BORROWING FROM CREDIT UNION CENTRAL OF B.C.
12    The Credit Union has an operating line of credit from Credit Union Central of British Columbia. As at
13    December 31, 2006, the outstanding amount under the operating line of credit with CUCBC amounted to
14    $NIL (2005 – $NIL).
15
16    17. CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
17    The Financial Institutions Act requires the Credit Union to maintain at all times a prescribed capital base.
18    The level of capital required is based on a percentage of the total value of risk weighted assets. Each asset
19    of the Credit Union is assigned a risk factor based on the probability that a loss may occur or the ultimate
20    reduction of that asset. At December 31, 2006, the Credit Union exceeded the prescribed capital ratio of
21    8%. The main financial risks inherent in the Credit Union environment are credit, liquidity and interest risk.
22
23    Credit risk is the risk that the Credit Union will incur a loss because a member fails to meet an obligation.
24    Risk management policies are implemented by management and the Board of Directors. These policies
25    include evaluating the member’s ability to repay the loan when it is originally granted and subsequently
26    renewed, and regularly monitoring member information such as delinquent and over-limit reports.
27
28    Liquidity risk is the risk that the Credit Union will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its obligations
29    to members. To mitigate this risk, Credit Union Central of British Columbia requires the Credit Union to
30    maintain, at all times, liquidity that is adequate in relation to the business carried on. The level of liquidity
31    required is based on a prescribed percentage of total members’ deposits, liabilities and shares. At
32    December 31, 2006, the Credit Union exceeded the prescribed liquidity ratio of 8%.


                                                                                                           |< < 29 > >|

1     17. CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
2     Interest rate risk refers to the potential impact on the Credit Union’s earnings due to changes in interest
3     rates. Interest rate risk results primarily from differences in the maturity or re-pricing dates of assets and
4     liabilities. The Credit Union monitors interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by employing techniques,
5     including maturity and re-pricing schedules and portfolio modeling, to measure and management the
6     impact of interest rate changes (see Note 19).

23
24    The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are estimated using discounted cash flow models with
25    discount rates based on market interest rates for similar types of instruments.
26
27    The difference between the book and fair values of the Credit Union’s financial instruments are due
28    primarily to changes in interest rates.
29
30    Not all financial instruments are readily available. As a result, the estimates of fair value are subjective
31    and should not be considered to be precise.

6     21. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
7     Concentrations of credit risk exist if a number of members are engaged in similar business activities or are
8     in the same geographic region, and indicate the relative sensitivity of the Credit Union to occurrences
9     affecting a particular segment of borrowers or geographic region.
10
11    The Credit Union is susceptible to credit risk arising from a protracted economic downturn in the Kootenay
12    region of British Columbia.
13
14    22. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS
15    The Credit Union sponsors a number of pension and post retirement benefit arrangements covering eligible
16    employees of the Credit Union and its subsidiaries.
17
18    The Credit Union principally provides pension benefits to its eligible employees through a multi-employer
19    defined benefit pension plan, administered by CUCBC. The annual contribution rates are actuarially
20    determined and reported to member credit unions by CUCBC. The CUCBC pension plan is accounted for
21    as a defined contribution plan by the Credit Union. The pension expense for the year ended December 31,
22    2006 amounted to $649,324 (2005 – $611,854) which has been recorded as an expense in the Statement
23    of Income. Accrued contributions of $NIL (2005 – $NIL) were outstanding as at the year-end date.
24
25    The Credit Union also provides additional pension benefits to certain eligible employees who are members
26    of a Supplemental Pension Plan. From December 31, 2006 the Credit Union provides post retirement non-
27    pension benefits to employees on retirement, provided certain eligibility criteria are met. These non-pension
28    benefits consist of contributions up to certain annual maximum limits outlined in the plan agreement with
29    respect to medical and dental benefits. Both plans are unfunded defined benefit plans.
30
31    The Credit Union measured its unfunded defined benefit accrued obligations as at December 31, 2006.
32    The most recent actuarial valuation of the defined benefit plans was as of December 31, 2006.

Now we can shrug off those snowbound winter days that close roads and shut down airports. Or enjoy a guilt-free summer hike through the forest without losing touch. Wherever we are, we’re connected. To our families. To our friends. And now more than ever, to our finances. Web 2.0 refers to new, easy-to-use and lightning-fast content delivery systems that let people effortlessly share products, services and ideas. Improved interactivity allows everyone equal access to opportunities and advantages, an example of how change benefits all of us. The freedom of wireless connectivity. The community development potential of social networking. The convenience of online banking. The efficiency of a PDA, which – literally and figuratively – puts change in your pocket. At Kootenay Savings, we see the clarity, choices and personal control offered by Web 2.0 as an extension of our commitment to friendly, straightforward and helpful customer service. But it can’t replace seeing you unplugged and in person. Our doors are always open, and we’re always happy to have you drop by. To us, new technology is a way to enhance our relationship with you and vice versa. That’s why we think it’s essential to invest in change. According to the past year’s increased profits, investment growth and community involvement, the benefits of change are paying off. Welcome to Annual Report 2.0. |< < 1 > >|

  • 9. > My Email ksmail TO: members@kscu.com FROM: ceo@kscu.com, boardchair@kscu.com SUBJECT: Report from Board and Management Through the dedicated efforts of our employees and with the support of members, Kootenay Savings enjoyed another highly successful year. We were able to share our success with members in the form of a 10 percent patronage dividend for the sixth consecutive year, and with communities by way of a half million dollar contribution to the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation. As a community-based and member- owned financial institution, Kootenay Savings has a vested interest in the financial well- being of both members and communities alike and our results this past year allowed us to put more than a little change in your pocket. We surpassed growth objectives in both loans and deposits, as member utilization of Kootenay Savings continued to rise. The Credit Union, Kootenay Savings Insurance Services and Kootenay Savings MoneyWorks all had exceptional financial results that contributed to the overall profitability of the organization. Technology is a key tool in the operation of Kootenay Savings – both from a service delivery and an internal operating perspective. This past year saw the launch of a new online banking platform that integrates our website with home banking. Member response has been very favourable, and Kootenay Savings’ member utilization of online banking is among the highest in the industry. Technology-based improvements were also made to streamline paper-based processes and enhance internal management reporting systems. Strategic planning is integral to the past and ongoing success of our organization. We developed new Vision and Values statements in 2006, which are reflective of what we stand for, and what behaviours we expect. We built new strategic initiatives around the key areas by which we measure our success – financial performance, member satisfaction, employee satisfaction and community involvement. |< < 8 > >|
  • 10. > My Email ksmail SUBJECT: Report from Board and Management <continued> Our employees are our most important asset, and one of the most significant undertakings last year was the Career Development Initiative. This program was launched to enhance the skills and knowledge of employees at all levels of the organization by working individually with each employee. We want our employees to view their employment at Kootenay Savings as a career and not just a job. Not only will our employees benefit so too will our members from the improved quality of advice and information our employees are able to provide. Kootenay Savings is a significant employer in our region, employing almost 240 people. Employees give back to their communities in a variety of ways and have a vested interest in the success of our organization and in the Kootenay region. Our employees are committed to learning through an educational assistance program which pays for external business-related education and has an uptake of over 70 percent. We will continue to invest in our employees as we strive to be the best place to work in the communities we serve. In an ever-increasing competitive environment, we must look for cost-effective ways to continue to enhance our services and product offerings. One way to accomplish this is through the establishment of strategic alliances and partnerships. In recent years, Kootenay Savings has established alliances with other Credit Unions and partners in areas such as syndicated commercial lending, technology development and training. In 2006, Kootenay Savings, along with Nelson & District Credit Union and East Kootenay Community Credit Union approved the formation of Kootenay Insurance Services Ltd. This new company, which is equally owned by the three partners, was established to own, operate and grow our general insurance business. This partnership is a model of what Credit Unions can do to compete effectively in the marketplace. |< < 9 > >|
  • 11. > My Email ksmail SUBJECT: Report from Board and Management <continued> Kootenay Savings continued to play an active role in supporting our communities. In 2006, the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation contributed over $84,000 to community organizations for worthwhile projects. The Foundation also distributed $29,000 by way of high school bursaries and contributions to college foundations. Additionally, Kootenay Savings was very active in sponsoring youth organizations, schools and community events. Board members and employees actively volunteered for many community organizations, boards and youth activities. As a community-based financial institution, community involvement and support is a big part of our culture, and one of the many reasons for our success. We will continue to focus on this important role that we play in building a stronger region. The benefits of change are indeed paying off.

  • 13. > My Finances kswords Management’s_Responsibility_to_Members.doc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The consolidated financial statements and all other information contained in the Annual Report are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Union Incorporation Act and appropriate generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates of the expected effects of current events and transactions. Financial information presented elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements. In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of financial data, management relies on the comprehensive internal accounting, operating and system controls. Controls include an organizational structure providing for effective segregation of responsibilities, delegation of authority and personal accountability, and careful selection and training of personnel; the application of accounting and administrative policies and procedures necessary to ensure adequate internal control over transactions, assets and records, as well as a continued program of extensive internal audits. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets, and that assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition. The Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee, comprised of four Directors, to review with management and auditors the annual financial statements prior to submission to the Board of Directors for final approval. PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada LLP has been appointed by the membership as independent auditors to examine and report on the consolidated financial statements and their report follows this one. They have full and free access to the internal audit staff and the Audit Committee of the Board. Brent Tremblay Ron Johnston PRESIDENT & CEO CFO & VP: FINANCE |< < 12 > >|
  • 14. > My Finances kswords Auditors_Report.doc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 To the Members of Kootenay Savings Credit Union: We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Kootenay Savings Credit Union as at December 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Credit Union’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Credit Union as at December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2005, and for the year then ended, prior to an adjustment for the accounting changes as described in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated February 10, 2006.

  • 20. > My Finances ksnumbers Notes_to_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.xls A 1 For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 2 3 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS 4 Kootenay Savings Credit Union (“Credit Union”) is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and is 5 regulated under the Financial Institutions Act of British Columbia. Its primary business activities include 6 providing financing services to its members and the general public in the Kootenays from 13 branches and 7 through its insurance and financial management subsidiaries. 8 9 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 10 A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION 11 These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally 12 accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The financial statements include the accounts of Kootenay Savings 13 Credit Union and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kootenay Savings Insurance Services Ltd. and Kootenay 14 Savings MoneyWorks Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 15 16 B) CASH AND INVESTMENTS 17 Cash and investments comprise cash on hand, deposits, cheques and other items in transit plus all 18 securities, whether held with Credit Union Central of British Columbia (“CUCBC”) or other financial 19 institutions plus long-term investments in the shares of CUCBC and other entities (Note 4). Cash and 20 securities held with CUCBC are valued at cost. Investments in shares of CUCBC and others are held at 21 cost, except where there is a loss in value that is determined by management to be other than temporary, 22 in which case the investment is written down to recognize the impairment loss. 23 24 C) LOANS 25 Loans to members are stated at outstanding principal amounts net of a specific allowance for incurred 26 losses on impaired loans and a general provision. Loans are classified as impaired when there is no longer 27 reasonable assurance of timely collection of principal, and interest, generally when interest and principal is 28 90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. An allowance for losses 29 incurred on impaired loans is made to reduce the carrying amount of individual loans to the net estimated 30 realizable value. 31 32 |< < 19 > >|
  • 21. > My Finances ksnumbers Notes_to_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.xls [CONTINUED] A 1 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2 D) REVENUE RECOGNITION 3 Interest income on loans is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest penalties received as a result of loan 4 prepayments by members are recognized as income in the year in which the prepayment is made, except in the 5 case where only minor modifications are made, when the penalty income is deferred and amortized over the 6 term of the loan. Loan origination fees are considered to be adjustments to loan yield and are deferred and 7 amortized to interest income over the term of the loan. 8 9 E) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 10 Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Property, plant and 11 equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the following methods and annual rates: 12 Buildings 4 - 5% declining balance 13 Parking lot 8% declining balance 14 Furniture 15 year straight line 15 Office equipment 8 years straight line 16 Computer equipment and software 4- years straight line 10 17 Leasehold improvements 10 years straight line 18 19 F) PENSIONS AND POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS 20 The Credit Union is a member of a multi-employer pension plan, which is accounted for as a defined 21 contribution plan. Other post employment benefits earned by employees under a defined benefit plan are 22 determined using the projected unit credit actuarial method, pro-rated on service and are charged to the 23 Statement of Income as services are rendered. Adjustments arising from plan amendments, changes in 24 assumptions and experience gains are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated average 25 remaining services lives of the employees. 26 27 G) DIVIDENDS PAYABLE 28 Dividends declared and interest payable on share savings and equity shares are charged to earnings for the 29 year. A 4% dividend on membership shares and a .25% interest rate on share savings were declared for 30 2006. A 10% patronage dividend was declared on interest paid and received by eligible members while 31 utilizing Kootenay Savings Credit Union services in 2006. A 4% dividend on patronage equity shares was 32 declared for 2006. |< < 20 > >|
  • 22. > My Finances ksnumbers Notes_to_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.xls [CONTINUED] A 1 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2 H) FUTURE INCOME TAX 3 The Credit Union follows the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under the asset 4 and liability method, the change in the net future tax asset or liability is to be included in income. Future tax 5 assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years 6 in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and 7 liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment 8 or substantive enactment. 9 10 I) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 11 Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing on the balance sheet 12 date; income and expenses are translated at average rates during the year. Foreign exchange gains or losses 13 arising from the translation or settlement of a monetary item denominated in a foreign currency are recorded 14 in Other Income. The Credit Union does not participate in the active trading of foreign currency positions. 15 16 J) DERIVATIVES 17 For derivative transactions treated as hedges, the Credit Union formally documents all relationships 18 between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for 19 undertaking various hedge transactions. The Credit Union also formally assesses, both at hedge inception 20 and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transactions are highly 21 effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item. Derivative transactions that 22 do not fulfill the hedge documentation requirements or the effectiveness criteria are accounted for on a 23 mark-to-market basis with gains/losses reported through the Statement of Income. 24 25 K) USE OF ESTIMATES 26 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting 27 principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 28 assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the 29 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use 30 of estimates relate to the loan loss provision, underlying loan security values, determination of investment 31 values and useful lives for amortization. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 32 |< < 21 > >|
  • 23. > My Finances ksnumbers Notes_to_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.xls [CONTINUED] A 1 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2 L) GOODWILL 3 Goodwill arose on the acquisition of an insurance business and represents the excess of purchase price of 4 the acquired business over the amount allocated to assets acquired less liabilities assumed, based on their 5 fair values at acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but tested annually for impairment at the business 6 operating level. Goodwill is determined to be impaired when the fair value is less than its carrying amount. 7 If impaired, the Credit Union would recognize an impairment loss. There were no write-downs of goodwill 8 due to impairment during the year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 – $NIL). 9 10 3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES (Future Income Taxes and Accounting for Insurance Commissions) 11 As a result of a review of its accounting policies and applicable accounting pronouncements, the Credit Union 12 has concluded that the following restatements and change in policy are required. 13 14 Future Income Tax will include general loan loss reserves as a temporary difference in the calculation of Future 15 Income Tax expense and asset/liability balances, the Credit Union adjusted for 2004 $305,002 and for 2005 16 $12,216 of future income taxes through the Statement of Income on a retroactive basis. 17 18 Property and casualty Insurance commissions will be recognized as revenue as of the date of sale of the policy. 19 Accordingly, the Credit Union adjusted for 2004 $144,926 ($95,724 net of future income taxes) and for 2005 20 $523 ($345 net of future income taxes) of property and casualty commissions through the Statement of Income 21 on a retroactive basis. 22 23 4.

These investments, which are 15 determined by formulae based on Credit Union membership and assets, are realizable only on withdrawal 16 from membership.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION 2 Regulations to the Financial Institutions Act require disclosure of the following information: 3 A) At December 31, 2006 outstanding loans and lines of credit issued directly or indirectly to directors, 4 officers and employees of the Credit Union amount to $6,634,494 (2005 – $ 6,832,073). 5 B) Compensation of Credit Union management and staff includes the benefit of loans granted at the 6 lesser of the Credit Union's posted rate or the prescribed rates as set out by the Federal Government. 7 At December 31, 2006 these loans amounted to $6,100,176 (2005 – $6,238,314). 8 C) Aggregate payments paid to directors in their capacity as directors, including honoraria, amounted to 9 $81,593 (2005 – $80,000). 10 11 16. BORROWING FROM CREDIT UNION CENTRAL OF B.C. 12 The Credit Union has an operating line of credit from Credit Union Central of British Columbia. As at 13 December 31, 2006, the outstanding amount under the operating line of credit with CUCBC amounted to 14 $NIL (2005 – $NIL). 15 16 17. CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT 17 The Financial Institutions Act requires the Credit Union to maintain at all times a prescribed capital base. 18 The level of capital required is based on a percentage of the total value of risk weighted assets. Each asset 19 of the Credit Union is assigned a risk factor based on the probability that a loss may occur or the ultimate 20 reduction of that asset. At December 31, 2006, the Credit Union exceeded the prescribed capital ratio of 21 8%. The main financial risks inherent in the Credit Union environment are credit, liquidity and interest risk. 22 23 Credit risk is the risk that the Credit Union will incur a loss because a member fails to meet an obligation. 24 Risk management policies are implemented by management and the Board of Directors. These policies 25 include evaluating the member’s ability to repay the loan when it is originally granted and subsequently 26 renewed, and regularly monitoring member information such as delinquent and over-limit reports. 27 28 Liquidity risk is the risk that the Credit Union will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its obligations 29 to members. To mitigate this risk, Credit Union Central of British Columbia requires the Credit Union to 30 maintain, at all times, liquidity that is adequate in relation to the business carried on. The level of liquidity 31 required is based on a prescribed percentage of total members’ deposits, liabilities and shares. At 32 December 31, 2006, the Credit Union exceeded the prescribed liquidity ratio of 8%. |< < 29 > >|

CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d) 2 Interest rate risk refers to the potential impact on the Credit Union’s earnings due to changes in interest 3 rates. Interest rate risk results primarily from differences in the maturity or re-pricing dates of assets and 4 liabilities. The Credit Union monitors interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by employing techniques, 5 including maturity and re-pricing schedules and portfolio modeling, to measure and management the 6 impact of interest rate changes (see Note 19). 7 8 18.

As a result, the estimates of fair value are subjective 31 and should not be considered to be precise. 32 |< < 30 > >|

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK 7 Concentrations of credit risk exist if a number of members are engaged in similar business activities or are 8 in the same geographic region, and indicate the relative sensitivity of the Credit Union to occurrences 9 affecting a particular segment of borrowers or geographic region. 10 11 The Credit Union is susceptible to credit risk arising from a protracted economic downturn in the Kootenay 12 region of British Columbia. 13 14 22. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS 15 The Credit Union sponsors a number of pension and post retirement benefit arrangements covering eligible 16 employees of the Credit Union and its subsidiaries. 17 18 The Credit Union principally provides pension benefits to its eligible employees through a multi-employer 19 defined benefit pension plan, administered by CUCBC. The annual contribution rates are actuarially 20 determined and reported to member credit unions by CUCBC. The CUCBC pension plan is accounted for 21 as a defined contribution plan by the Credit Union. The pension expense for the year ended December 31, 22 2006 amounted to $649,324 (2005 – $611,854) which has been recorded as an expense in the Statement 23 of Income. Accrued contributions of $NIL (2005 – $NIL) were outstanding as at the year-end date. 24 25 The Credit Union also provides additional pension benefits to certain eligible employees who are members 26 of a Supplemental Pension Plan. From December 31, 2006 the Credit Union provides post retirement non- 27 pension benefits to employees on retirement, provided certain eligibility criteria are met. These non-pension 28 benefits consist of contributions up to certain annual maximum limits outlined in the plan agreement with 29 respect to medical and dental benefits. Both plans are unfunded defined benefit plans. 30 31 The Credit Union measured its unfunded defined benefit accrued obligations as at December 31, 2006. 32 The most recent actuarial valuation of the defined benefit plans was as of December 31, 2006. |< < 32 > >|
