3 CliftonLarsonAllen LLP CLAconnect.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT Supervisory Committee and Board of Directors ABNB Federal Credit Union and Subsidiaries Chesapeake, Virginia Report on Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ABNB Federal Credit Union and Subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in 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. Auditors 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of 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 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.

4 Supervisory Committee and Board of Directors ABNB Federal Credit Union and Subsidiaries Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ABNB Federal Credit Union and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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.

10 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations ABNB Federal Credit Union (the Credit Union ) is a federally-chartered cooperative association headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, organized in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934 for the purpose of promoting thrift among and creating a source of credit for its members. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ABNB Federal Credit Union and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ABNB Business Services, LLC, Member Assurance Personal Services, LLC, and Virginia CU Title Partners, LLC (the CUSOs), credit union service organizations that provide investment, insurance, and title services, respectively, to Credit Union members. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Membership Participation in this Credit Union is limited to those who qualify for membership as defined in the Credit Union s Charter and Bylaws. This generally consists of those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Isle of Wight, Franklin, Southampton County or Currituck County. In addition to a regularly qualified member, the spouse of a member, the blood or adoptive relatives of either of them and their spouses may be members. The Credit Union acquired Guardian Federal Credit Union on November 1, 2014, see Note 11 for more detail. Uses of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the valuation of securities, determination of loan losses and the fair value of financial instruments. Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Risk The Credit Union is exposed to credit risk from a regional economic standpoint because significant concentrations of its borrowers work or reside within a geographical field of membership. The loan portfolio, while diverse, does have significant concentrations of credit risk in consumer loans, specifically direct and indirect vehicle loans. The Credit Union s policy for repossessing collateral is that when all other collection efforts have been exhausted, the Credit Union enforces its lien holder status and forecloses or repossesses the collateral. The Credit Union has full and complete access to foreclosed or repossessed collateral. Collateral normally consists of vehicles and real estate property. (8)

11 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Cash and Cash Equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions and highly liquid debt instruments classified as cash which were purchased with maturities of three months or less. The Credit Union maintains cash in deposit accounts at financial institutions approved by the Board of Directors. Accumulated deposits at these institutions, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Deposits in Other Financial Institutions Deposits in other financial institutions include certificates of deposit. These are stated at cost. The certificates of deposit all mature within five years. Securities Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Credit Union has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Realized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale are included in Other Non-Interest Income (Loss) and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method on the trade date. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using methods approximating the interest method over the period to maturity. Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The Credit Union monitors the investment security portfolio for impairment on an individual security basis and has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other than temporary. This process involves analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the market liquidity for the security, the financial condition and nearterm prospects of the issuer, expected cash flows, and the Credit Union s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. The ability to hold is determined whether it is more likely than not that the Credit Union will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. A decline in value due to a credit event that is considered other than temporary is recorded as a loss in Non-Interest Income. The Credit Union did not record any other-than-temporary impairment during the years ended December 31, 2014 and (9)

12 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Other Investments Other investments are recorded at cost and evaluated for credit events resulting in other than temporary impairment. Loans, Net The Credit Union grants consumer, residential real estate and commercial loans to its members and purchases loan participations. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by vehicle loans to members. The ability of the members to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area. Loans that 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 costs. 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 a loan is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual 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 principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using methods approximating the interest method over the estimated life of the loans. The Credit Union does not charge commitment fees. 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 collectability 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. (10)

13 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Allowance for Loan Losses (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 nonperforming loans. Specific allowances for loan losses are established for large impaired loans on an individual basis. The specific allowances established for these loans are based on a thorough analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan s expected future cash flow, 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. In this process, general allowance factors are based on an analysis of two years 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. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Credit Union will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Under certain circumstances, the Credit Union will provide borrowers relief through loan restructurings. A restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the Credit Union for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower s financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDR concessions can include reduction of interest rates, extension of maturity dates, forgiveness of principal and/or interest due, or acceptance of other assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt. The Credit Union considers all aspects of the restructuring to determine whether it has granted a concession to the borrower. An insignificant delay in payment resulting from a restructuring is not deemed to be a concession and would not be considered to be a TDR. (11)

14 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) The Credit Union maintains a separate general valuation allowance for homogeneous portfolio segments. These portfolio segments and their risk characteristics are described as follows: Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio is usually comprised of a large number of small loans. Most loans are made directly for consumer purchases. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans. Residential Real Estate: The degree of risk in residential mortgage lending depends primarily on the loan amount in relation to collateral value, the interest rate, and the borrower s ability to repay in an orderly fashion. These loans generally possess a lower inherent risk of loss than commercial real estate portfolio segments. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans. The portfolio segments that are risk rated and their risk characteristics are described as follows: Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Other: Commercial real estate loans generally possess a higher inherent risk of loss than residential real estate portfolio segments. Adverse economic developments or an overbuilt market impact commercial real estate projects and may result in troubled loans. Commercial other loans are generally underwritten to existing cash flows or inventories of operating businesses. Debt coverage is provided by business cash flows and economic trends influenced by unemployment rates and other key indicators are closely correlated to credit quality. The Credit Union assigns a risk rating to commercial loans and periodically performs detailed internal reviews of all such loans over a certain threshold to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of the portfolio. These risk ratings are also subject to examination by the Credit Union s regulators. During the internal reviews, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which the borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing the loans. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan. The risk ratings can be grouped into the following major categories, defined as follows: Pass: A Pass loan is a credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management s close attention. Pass loans are those loans in Risk Levels 1-5 per the Allowance for Loan Loss Methodology. Special Mention: Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. Special Mention loans are those in Risk Levels 6 and 7. If left uncorrected, this potential weakness may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Credit Union to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. (12)

15 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) Substandard: Loans classified as Substandard (Risk Level 8) are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as Substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Well defined weaknesses include a borrower s lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or collateral support, failure to complete construction on time, or the failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Credit Union will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: Loans classified as Doubtful (Risk Level 9) have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss: Loans classified as Loss (Risk Level 10) are considered uncollectible and anticipated to be charged off. Transfers of Financial Assets and Participating Interests Transfers of an entire financial asset or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Credit Union, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Credit Union does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The transfer of a participating interest in an entire financial asset must also meet the definition of a participating interest. A participating interest in a financial asset has all of the following characteristics: (1) from the date of transfer, it must represent a proportionate (pro rata) ownership interest in the financial asset, (2) from the date of transfer, all cash flows received, except any cash flows allocated as any compensation for servicing or other services performed, must be divided proportionately among participating interest holders in the amount equal to their share ownership, (3) the rights of each participating interest holder must have the same priority, (4) no party has the right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree to do so. Off-Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition Credit Related Financial Instruments In the ordinary course of business, the Credit Union has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan repossession or foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of repossession or foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to repossession or foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. (13)

16 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets (Continued) Revenue and expenses from operations, changes in the valuation allowance, and gains and losses on sales are included in Non-Interest Income and Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Premises and Equipment, Net Land is carried at cost. Building, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Buildings and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases or estimated useful life, whichever is less. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Credit Union tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. NCUSIF Deposit and CCUSF Premium Assessments 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 of the fund are transferred from the NCUA Board. Legislation was passed by Congress to permit NCUA to create a temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund (CCUSF) to absorb costs and borrowings incurred by the Fund related to the corporate credit union collapse. It was anticipated that the NCUA Board would assess annual premiums to repay these stabilization costs through the year 2021 at its discretion. No CCUSF premium was assessed in 2014 due to subsequent loss recovery settlements and gains recognized by the CCUSF in recent years. NCUA currently anticipates no future premium assessments. Goodwill The Credit Union adopted the alternative accounting for the subsequent measurement of goodwill as approved by the Private Company Council (PCC) and endorsed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) during the year ended December 31, As a result, goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Guardian Federal Credit Union is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. (14)

17 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Members' Share and Savings Accounts Members' accounts are subordinated to all other liabilities of the Credit Union upon liquidation. Dividends and interest on members' share and savings accounts, except for interest on certificates of deposit which are set in advance, are based on available earnings at the end of a dividend period and are not guaranteed by the Credit Union. Interest rates on members' share and savings accounts are set by the Board of Directors, based on an evaluation of current and future market conditions. Members' Equity The Credit Union is required by regulation to maintain a statutory regular reserve. This reserve, which represents a regulatory restriction of retained earnings, is established for the purpose of absorbing losses that exceed undivided earnings and other appropriations of undivided earnings. The statutory reserve is not available for the payment of interest. The Credit Union is subject to various regulatory net worth requirements administered by the NCUA. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), also recognized as a separate component of members equity, includes valuation adjustments for available-for-sale securities. Reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for securities available-for-sale are posted through net gain (loss) on sale of investments on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Income Taxes As a federal instrumentality, the Credit Union is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The CUSOs, however, are subject to federal and state income taxes. Operations of the CUSOs resulted in no income taxes for the years ended 2014 and The CUSOs evaluated their tax positions and determined no uncertain tax positions exist as of December 31, 2014 and The CUSOs 2011 and subsequent tax years are open for examination by federal and state taxing authorities. Retirement Plans 401(k) Plan The Credit Union provides a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all of the Credit Union s employees who are eligible as to age and length of service. A participant may elect to make contributions of up to 15 percent of the participant s annual compensation. The Credit Union makes discretionary matching contributions as approved by the Board of Directors. The Credit Union s contributions to the plan approximated $311,000 and $289,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. (15)

18 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Retirement Plans (Continued) 457(b) Plan The Credit Union provides a non-qualified 457(b) plan to key executives and contributes a percentage of each participant s eligible compensation. Employees do not make contributions to this plan; however, they determine how the funds contributed on their behalf are invested. Participants become 100% vested after ten years of service. Contributions are invested in mutual funds in the Credit Union s name, are accounted for as trading assets, and are carried at market value. The balance of these investments total $894,500 and $728,700 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are reported as part of Other Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These assets are available to creditors in the event of the Credit Union s liquidation. Total expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 approximated $88,000 and $90,000, respectively. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) The Credit Union entered into agreements with two key executives to provide future deferred retirement benefits. Life insurance policies were purchased at the onset of the plan to contribute to earnings to help off-set the benefit liability accrual. The Credit Union has recorded a benefit liability approximating $1,426,000 and $1,146,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively related to this plan. Benefit expense associated with this plan approximated $281,000 and $197,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Credit Union Owned Life Insurance Policies Life insurance policies acquired to help fund the cost of the Credit Union s deferred compensation plan are carried at net cash surrender value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Changes in cash surrender value are recorded as Non-Interest Income. Investments in life insurance totaled $13,297,078 and $12,956,879, respectively, at December 31, 2014 and The Credit Union had a receivable of approximately $1,500,000 at December 31, 2013 for proceeds from the surrender of three insurance policies no longer supported by the insurer. This receivable is presented as part of Other Assets as of December 31, 2013 in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Contribution of Services and Use of Facilities The Credit Union receives services and use of facilities from its sponsoring entity. The Credit Union views this relationship as a reciprocal transfer; that is, in return for the use of services and facilities, the sponsoring employer receives the fringe benefit of on-site financial services for their employees who elect to join the Credit Union, and as such has not recorded the cost-free use of services and facilities as contribution revenue and corresponding operating expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Advertising Costs Advertising and promotion costs which totaled approximately $1,656,000 and $1,162,000 for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are expensed as incurred. (16)

19 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Fair Value Measurements The Credit Union categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a threelevel hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1 Inputs that utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Credit Union has the ability to access. Level 2 Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 3 Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Credit Union may remeasure the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments to fair value usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their carrying amounts to their fair value. Professional standards allow entities the irrevocable option to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Credit Union adopted the policy to value certain financial instruments at fair value. The Credit Union has not elected to measure any existing financial instruments at fair value; however, it may elect to measure newly acquired financial instruments at fair value in the future. New Accounting Pronouncements In 2014, the Credit Union adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) , Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). ASU amended prior guidance to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP. The impact of the adoption of ASU did not have a material impact on the Credit Union s financial position or results of operations. (17)

20 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) In 2014, the Credit Union adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) , Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU allows private companies the ability to elect, through their accounting policy, to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over ten years, unless a shorter period is more appropriate. If the election is made, a simplified impairment approach is used. The impact of the adoption of ASU did not have a material impact on the Credit Union s financial position or results of operations. Subsequent Events In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Credit Union has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through April 10, 2015, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Reclassification of 2013 Data Data in the 2013 consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the 2014 consolidated financial statements. This reclassification did not have any change on net income or members equity.

22 NOTE 2 SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) Temporarily Impaired Securities Information pertaining to securities with gross unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, follows: Less Than Twelve Months Greater Than Twelve Months Gross Estimated Gross Estimated Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Losses Value Losses Value December 31, 2014 Available-for-Sale Government Agency Securities $ (3,180) $ 1,996,820 $ (36,540) $ 3,963,460 Held-to-Maturity Government Agency Securities $ (15,980) $ 2,484,020 $ (17,848) $ 2,485,765 December 31, 2013 Available-for-Sale Government Agency Securities $ (92,930) - $ 4,907,070 - $ - $ - Held-to-Maturity Government Agency Securities $ (48,060) $ 2,451,940 $ (17,873) $ 986,950 At December 31, 2014, the twenty-two securities in an unrealized loss position have depreciated 0.67% from the Credit Union s amortized cost basis. All of these securities are either guaranteed by federal insurance, the U.S. Government, or secured by mortgage loans. These unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an issuer s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer s financial condition. As management has the ability to hold securities until maturity or for the foreseeable future for those classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary. In general, investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of the investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could be material.

These uninsured deposits are part of the corporate credit union s regulatory capital and are subject to impairment or loss in the event the corporate credit union is required to merge, is placed into conservatorship, incurs significant losses, or is liquidated. FHLB Stock The Credit Union has an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank Atlanta (FHLB) stock that allows the Credit Union access to other FHLB financial services. The stock qualified as a restricted stock and as such is not subject to investment security accounting treatment and is therefore reported at cost, subject to impairment.
