3 Management's Responsibility To the Members of Heritage Credit Union: Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required. In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors and Audit Committee are composed entirely of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Credit Union. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and external auditors. The Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Credit Union's external auditors. MNP LLP is appointed by the shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Committee and management to discuss their audit findings. March 22, 2018 CEO

4 Independent Auditors Report To the Members of Heritage Credit Union: We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Heritage Credit Union, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in members' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit 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 auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Heritage Credit Union as at December 31, 2017 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

9 1. Reporting entity Heritage Credit Union (the Credit Union ) is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and is regulated under the Financial Institutions Act of British Columbia and is a member of Central 1 Credit Union Limited ("Central 1"). The Credit Union serves members principally in the West Kootenays and provides financial services through 3 branches, telephone and on-line banking. The address of the Credit Union s registered office is th Street, Castlegar, BC. Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all IFRS issued and in effect as at December 31, The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 22, Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical basis except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Credit Union s functional currency 2. Change in accounting policies Standards and Interpretations effective in the current period The Credit Union adopted amendments to the following standards, effective January 1, Adoption of these amendments had no effect on the Credit Union s financial statements. IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements IFRS 11 Joint arrangements IFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment IAS 27 Separate financial statements IAS 28 Investments in associates and joint ventures IAS 38 Intangible assets 5

10 3. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Basis of consolidation The Credit Union has consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all subsidiaries after the elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Credit Union, and its subsidiary: BC Ltd. 60% interest In addition the Credit Union has a 50% interest in a joint venture, Growth Financial Corp ("Growth"), with another credit union. The Credit Union accounts for this using the equity method whereby on initial recognition the investment is recorded at cost, and the carrying amount is adjusted to recognize its share of profit or loss of the joint venture after the date of acquisition. Growth has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Kelowna Valley Insurance Agency Ltd. Creston Valley Insurance Agency Ltd. Whitlock Insurance Agency Ltd BC Ltd. HG Insurance Agencies Ltd. Working Ventures Insurance Solutions Ltd. Growth also holds a 49% interest in the following limited partnerships: South Okanagan Insurance Agency Limited Partnership Nootka Insurance Agency Limited Partnership The above limited partnerships are controlled entities of Growth, since Growth is exposed, and has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entities and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entities. Consolidated entities' balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from consolidated entities' transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with investments in associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Credit Union's interest in the entity. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Business combinations Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity instruments issued by the Credit Union. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. Cash resources Cash consists of cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 6

11 Investments Central 1 deposits Central 1 deposits are accounted for as loans and receivables at amortized cost, adjusted to recognize other than a temporary impairment in the underlying value. Other investments Investments which meet the definition of financial instruments are measured and recorded on a basis consistent with the appropriate financial instrument designation. Investments in equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost. Members loans receivable Loans are recognized at their amortized cost. Amortized cost is calculated as the loans principal amount, less any allowance for anticipated losses, plus accrued interest. Interest revenue is recorded on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Loan administration fees are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the carrying amount of the financial asset. Impairment of financial assets For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Credit Union first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Credit Union determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, it includes the financial asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed them for impairment. Financial assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment for impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the loan s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future expected impaired financial assets that have not yet been incurred. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced through the use of the provision for impaired financial assets and the amount of the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets, together with the associated provision for impairment are reported as a credit loss when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and when the Credit Union is in possession of the loan. Interest income is accrued until the financial asset becomes a credit loss. The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets' original effective interest rate. The calculation of the present value of estimated future cash flows reflects the projected cash flows including provisions for impaired financial assets, prepayment losses, and costs to securitize and service financial assets. For the purpose of the collective evaluation of loan impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of the Credit Union s internal system that considers credit risk, characteristics such as asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral, delinquency status and other relevant economic factors. Future cash flows on the group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical credit loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions on which the historical credit loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with, changes in related observable data from year to year such as changes in unemployment rates, inflation, borrowing rates, consumer fuel prices, vehicle auction values or other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in the group and their magnitude. Acquisition of property in settlement of loans Property acquired in settlement of loans is recorded at the lower of estimated net realizable value and the amount owing on the loan. Losses arising on realization or reduction of the realizable value of such property are charged to losses on loans and gains reduce loan losses. All property acquired in the settlement of loans in 2017 has been acquired with the intention to sell, at December 31, 2017 this includes one property held for resale. 7

12 Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line and declining balance methods at rates intended to depreciate the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives: Rate Buildings and renovations 20 and 40 years and 4% Furniture and equipment 3-20 years and 20% Leasehold improvements 10 and 20 years Parking lot 10 years and 10% The useful lives of items of property and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis and the useful life is altered if estimates have changed significantly. Gains or losses on the disposal of property and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in earnings. Intangible assets Intangible assets with a limited life are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of the intangible assets are reviewed on an annual basis and the useful life is altered if estimates have changed significantly. Gains or losses on the disposal of intangible assets are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in earnings. The Credit Union's intangible assets consist of computer software with an estimated life of 3-8 years. Pension plans The Credit Union participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan. As sufficient information is not available to apply defined benefit accounting, the plans are accounted for using defined contribution accounting. The Credit Union also provides retirement benefits for a portion of its employees under a multi-employer defined contribution plan. In defined contribution plans, the Credit Union pays contributions to separate legal entities, and the risk of a change in value rests with the employee. Thus, the Credit Union has no further obligations once the fees are paid. Premiums for defined contribution plans are expensed when an employee has rendered his/her services. 8

13 Impairment of non-financial assets At the end of each reporting period, the Credit Union reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Credit Union estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units ( CGU's ) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGU s, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGU s for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in earnings. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in earnings, with the exception of goodwill, which is not reversed in subsequent periods. Member deposits Member deposits are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Payables and accruals Payables and accruals are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities. Securitization Loans are derecognized only when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from these assets have ceased to exist or substantially all the risks and rewards of the loans have been transferred. If the criteria for derecognition have not been met, the securitization is reflected as a financing transaction and the related liability is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized costs, using the effective interest rate method. Members' shares Shares are classified as liabilities or members' equity in accordance with their terms. Shares redeemable at the option of the member, either on demand or on withdrawal from membership, are classified as liabilities. Shares redeemable at the discretion of the Credit Union Board of Directors are classified as equity. Shares subject to regulatory restrictions are accounted for using the criteria set out in IFRIC 2 Members' Shares in Cooperative Entities and Similar Instruments. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Credit Union and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Loan interest revenue Interest income is recognized on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for all financial assets measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument back to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. The application of the method has the effect of recognizing revenue of the financial instrument evenly in proportion to the amount outstanding over the period to maturity or repayment. 9

14 Cash resources and investment revenue Cash resources and investment revenue is recognized on the accrual basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the term to maturity of the applicable investment. Other income Rental income is recognized when earned and collection is believed to be reasonably assured. Revenue from the provision of other services to members is recognized when earned, specifically when amounts are fixed or can be determined and the ability to collect is reasonably assured. Income taxes Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that the tax is recognized either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, or the tax arises from a business combination. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The calculation of current tax is based on the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The calculation of deferred tax is based on the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting year. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income. Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available which allow the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Foreign currency translation Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates (spot exchange rates). Monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are included in other income. Financial instruments All financial instruments are initially recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value at acquisition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, or other financial liabilities. During the year, there has been no reclassifications of financial instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: The financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. The Credit Union's financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss include derivatives. Available-for-sale: Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. The Credit Union's shares held with Central 1, Southern Interior Innovation Fund VCC, CUPP Services Ltd. and other investments in shares have been classified as available-for-sale. 10

15 Loans and receivables: The financial assets classified as loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value, then subsequently carried at amortized cost. The Credit Union's financial instruments classified as loans and receivables include all member loans receivable, accrued interest, receivables, cash resources and deposits with Central 1. Held-to-maturity: The financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are initially measured at fair value, then subsequently carried at amortized cost. The Credit Union's financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity include certain liquidity term deposits. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost: Financial instruments classified as other financial liabilities include all member deposits, borrowings, non-equity membership shares, and payables and accruals. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, then subsequently carried at amortized cost. De-recognition of financial assets De-recognition of a financial asset occurs when: The Credit Union does not have rights to receive cash flows from the asset; The Credit Union has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through" arrangement; and either: a.) The Credit Union has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b.) The Credit Union has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the Credit Union has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred or retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Credit Union s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Credit Union also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Credit Union has retained. A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of the existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts whose value is derived from an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity instrument or index. In the ordinary course of business, the Credit Union enters into derivative transactions for asset/liability management. Derivatives are reported on the consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value. Hedges IAS 39 specifies the criteria that must be satisfied in order for hedge accounting to be applied and the accounting for each of the permitted hedging strategies. Derivatives may be designated as hedges, provided that the Credit Union formally documents the hedging relationship at its inception by outlining the risk management strategy being implemented along with the details of both the hedged and hedging item. The documentation identifies the specific asset or liability being hedged, the risk that is being hedged, the type of derivative used, the intended term of the hedging relationship and the method recognizing the gains, losses, revenues and expenses associated with the items in the hedging relationship. The Credit Union must formally assess, at inception and over the term of the hedging relationship, whether the hedging relationship is effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flow or fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, the Credit Union will discontinue the application of hedge accounting. Hedge accounting requires that gains, losses, revenues and expenses of a hedging item be recognized in the same period that the related gains, losses, revenues and expenses of the hedged item are recognized. 11

16 Non-qualifying derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, or are not designated under IAS 39 as hedges, are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings. Derivative financial instruments with negative fair values are reported as other liabilities while derivative financial instruments with positive fair values are considered other assets. Cash flow hedge The Credit Union utilizes cash flow hedges as part of its risk management activities. In a cash flow hedge, the Credit Union mainly uses interest rate swaps to hedge exposure of the future cash flows related to a fixed or floating rate financial asset or liability. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging derivative, net of taxes, is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income ( AOCI ), whereas the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. The amounts recognized in AOCI with respect to cash flow hedges are reclassified in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. When the derivative instrument no longer satisfies the conditions of effective hedging, hedge accounting ceases to be prospectively applied. The amounts previously recorded in AOCI are reclassified to profit or loss in the period or periods during which the hedged item affects net income. Gains or losses on derivatives are reclassified immediately to earnings when the hedged item is sold or terminated early. Fair value measurements The Credit Union classifies fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the Credit Union to develop its own assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to that fair value measurement. This assessment requires judgment, considering factors specific to an asset or a liability and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy. 12

17 Standards issued but not yet effective The Credit Union has not yet applied the following new standards, interpretations and amendments to standards that have been issued as at December 31, 2017 but are not yet effective. Unless otherwise stated, the Credit Union does not plan to early adopt any of these new or amended standards and interpretations. IFRS 9 Financial instruments The final version of IFRS 9 (2014) was issued in July 2014 as a complete standard including the requirements for classification and measurement of financial instruments, the new expected loss impairment model and the new hedge accounting model. IFRS 9 (2014) will replace IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and measurement. IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, IFRS 9 introduces a principles-based approach to the classification of financial assets based on an entity s business model and the nature of the cash flows of the asset. All financial assets, including hybrid contracts, are measured at FVTPL, fair value through OCI or amortized cost. For financial liabilities, IFRS 9 is substantially the same as was previously included in IAS 39. IFRS 9 also introduces an expected credit loss impairment model for all financial assets not measured at FVTPL. The model has three stages: (1) on initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized and maintained equal to 12 months of expected credit losses; (2) if credit risk increases significantly relative to initial recognition, the loss allowance is increased to cover full lifetime expected credit losses; and (3) when a financial asset is considered credit-impaired, the loss allowance continues to reflect lifetime expected credit losses and interest revenue is calculated based on the carrying amount of the asset, net of the loss allowance, rather than its gross carrying amount. Changes in the loss allowance, including the movement between 12 months and lifetime expected credit losses, is recorded in profit or loss. The Credit Union is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. The new impairment and classification and measurement requirements will be applied by adjusting the Credit Union s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on January 1, 2018, the date of initial application of IFRS 9, with no restatement of comparative periods. The adoption of IFRS 9 is expected to result in certain differences in the classification of financial assets when compared to the Credit Union s classification under IAS 39. The Credit Union continues to monitor and refine certain elements of its analysis of classification and measurement differences and the impairment assessment in advance of the Credit Union s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers IFRS 15, issued in May 2014, specifies how and when entities recognize, measure, and disclose revenue. The standard supersedes all current standards dealing with revenue recognition, including IAS 11 Construction contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer loyalty programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the construction of real estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of assets from customers, and SIC 31 Revenue barter transactions involving advertising services. Amendments to IFRS 15, issued in April 2016, clarify some requirements and provide additional transition relief for when an entity first applies IFRS 15. IFRS 15, and the amendments, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, The Credit Union is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16, issued in January 2016, introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The standard will supersede IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, The Credit Union is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. 13

18 4. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions As the precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of consolidated financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates and approximations which have been made using careful judgment. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Credit Union may undertake in the future. Allowance for impaired loans The Credit Union reviews its individually significant loans at each reporting date to assess whether an impairment loss should be recognized. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss. In estimating these cash flows, the Credit Union makes judgments about the borrower s financial situation and the net realizable value of collateral. These estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance. Member loans receivable that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and all individually insignificant loans are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar risk characteristics, to determine whether provision should be made due to incurred loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose effects are not yet evident. The general provision assessment takes account of data from the loan portfolio such as credit quality, delinquency, historical performance and industry economic outlook. The impairment loss on member loans receivable is disclosed in more detail in Note 7. Income taxes The Credit Union periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies related to income taxes for all years opn to audit based on the latest information available. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Credit Union records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probably outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities. Fincial instruments not traded on active markets For financial instruments not traded in active markets, fair values are determined using valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flow model that rely on assumptions that are based on observable active markets or rates. Certain assumptions take into consideration liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. 5.

Valuations of collateral are updated periodically depending on the nature of the collateral. The Credit Union has policies in place to monitor the existence of undesirable concentration in the collateral supporting its credit exposure. In management's estimation, the fair value of the collateral is sufficient to offset the risk of loss on the loans past due but not impaired. Loan portfolios and syndication The Credit Union has included in its member loans receivable, mortgage loan portfolios acquired in the normal course of operations. The portfolio acquired includes personal mortgage loans totalling $964,236 ( $1,560,529). The loans are administered by the vendor credit union who collects payments and remits to the Credit Union. Included in the Credit Union's loan portfolio are commercial syndicated loans that are reported on the Credit Union's financial records, but are administered by the lead lender on the Credit Union's behalf. The balance of syndicated loans as a participating lender is $935,984 ( $986,614). 16

21 8. Securitization The Credit Union enters into agreements with other financial institutions to sell mortgage pools. The Credit Union does not retain any financial interest in these sold mortgages and substantially all of the risks and rewards are transferred. As part of the agreements, the Credit Union continues to act as administrative agent on these mortgages. During the year, the Credit Union sold no mortgages through these private sales ( $4,043,414), generating no gain or loss ( gain of $120,423). 9.
