Financial management continued to be a key component of our fiscal responsibilities at Los Angeles Police Federal Credit Union during 2011. We were faced with many ongoing economic challenges caused by the slow economic recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression. Another year of record-low interest rates challenged us to equitably reward depositors, while earning the income on loans and investments needed to balance the Credit Union s financial performance. Despite this difficult environment, we effectively managed to preserve the capital of the credit union by reducing expenses, employing new technologies and greater internal efficiencies, and are pleased to report that we had a very good year. We experienced growth in deposits, substantial levels of lending activity, and overall, we distributed $4.1 million in dividends to our members. Loan delinquencies and charge offs tied to members who have been impacted by the economic recession increased during the year to record levels. However, our loan losses have been lower than the overall financial services industry due to our adherence to conservative, safe lending standards and our avoidance of activity in risky lending markets. In 2011, year-end total assets were at $742 million, down slightly from the previous year. Members continued to use LAPFCU as their safe haven as total savings deposits increased by $1.6 million or 0.2%. This savings growth was attributable to increases in regular share, money market and checking accounts. Total loans outstanding decreased by $5.8 million or 1.2% to end the year at $465 million. During 2011, we continued to adhere to safe lending practices and as a result, $221 million in new loans were disbursed to members. The changes in both savings and loans caused our net investment portfolio to increase by $3 million to end the year at $265 million. We invest only in high quality investments that emphasize safety first, then liquidity, and then finally, yield. With regard to our investment portfolio, all of our term investments are housed in United States Government Agency Securities that have the guarantee of the United States government. We are proud of our 2011 net income performance of $1.0 million during this continued difficult economic environment. We added a record $5.9 million to loan loss reserves, which was 11% higher than 2010. This action was intended to maintain a cushion for future loan losses caused by the continued fallout from the economic recession, and to position our balance sheet for the future. The $1.0 million in net income increased our net worth to $86.2 million, and we ended the year with a net worth ratio of 11.6%, well in excess of the 7.0% level required by the National Credit Union Administration to earn their classification of being well-capitalized. We feel our financial performance in 2011 was a success. We ensured our members financial well-being while maintaining the financial strength of the Credit Union during another challenging year. We also remained a safe haven for our members finances while maintaining a commitment to provide them with the best products and services. As we enter the new year, we look for greater successes and rewards in 2012 and beyond. Warren D. Spayth Treasurer, Board of Directors Edwin W. Hada Senior Vice President, Finance & Administration / Chief Financial Officer
