A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO To say that 2014 was a banner year at CME, is an understatement! It was a one of our best years! Loans grew in a competitive market, operating income was up, and more great products for each member increased! Our members are doing more with us and the more you do the greater the benefits. Thank you to all members that contributed to our success in 2014! As we approach our 80 th Anniversary in 2015, we are excited to continue to offer you some of the best financial products in Central Ohio. With an expanded community charter to Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, Madison, Morrow, Pickaway and Union counties we know we can assist more members in meeting their financial needs. Consistently looking at technology, we foresee improvements in online banking and the mobile app. With CME you can bank just about anywhere! If you have a smart phone, tablet or computer you can bank with us! WE GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY In addition to the great financial year, something that sets CME apart from other financial institutions is our generosity to support the groups that founded us, our dedicated public servants, police and fire. In 2014, we donated $20,000 to the Firefighters for Kids Toy Drive. Since starting the sponsorship in 2007, CME has donated over $100,000 to this worthy cause. CME also donated more than $25,000 to the Columbus Firefighters Foundation through our annual golf outing. In addition we continue to support organizations like, Pipes and Drums, the Columbus Fire Museum and Box 15. Partnering with radio station Sunny 95, we initiated the Hometown Hero program. Every month CME honors heroes that give back with their dedicated service from police officers to teachers to social workers. We will continue to honor these heroes in 2015. We also launched the new ez Money checking account that gives a donation back to either the Fraternal Order of Police, Columbus Firefighters Foundation or Get Behind the Badge. Just by using your debit card you can contribute to your favorite charity. EMBRACING THE NEW WAY OF BANKING Recently I heard a staff member say, If I didn t work at the credit union, I probably would never visit a branch. As technology improves, CME is improving too! In 2014, we revamped our website making it easier to view all of our products, apply for a loan or view your account. Now you can visit the credit union from the comfort of your home, just by going to our www.cmefcu.org. In addition, we increased our staff at our contact center and moved them into a state-of-the-art office space. Although we will continue to offer branches for our members visit, it s nice to know you do have an alternative. In addition to our website, CME is very active with social media. If you are not already, become a fan of our Facebook page to keep up to date on all of our activities! We also Tweet and are on Instagram! LOOKING TO THE FUTURE As for 2015, CME wants to continue to be your primary financial institution. If there is something you need, let us know. From auto loans, to checking accounts to savings products, CME has everything you need to take your financial life from good to great! James M. Riederer President/CEO CME ANNUAL REPORT 2014

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT Under provisions of the Federal Credit Union Act, the Supervisory Committee is responsible for an annual audit, verification of member accounts, review of the performance of officials and employees, and for making recommendations to the Board of Directors for improvements in the operation of the credit union. The committee fulfilled each of these responsibilities during 2014. We are satisfied that the board, management and staff of CME Federal Credit Union have operated in a safe, sound, progressive and responsive manner. The committee retained the certified public accounting firm of Lillie & Company, LLC. to conduct an independent review of the CME FCU s financial statements. This audit is conducted in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards and requirements of the National Credit Union Administration. Additionally, the Supervisory Committee hired Lillie & Company LLC to conduct periodic, internal audits of reports and operations. They report their findings to the Supervisory Committee as an independent check of the credit union s management. This type of consistent independent review of the CME FCU s operations is part of our commitment to you that your credit union will always endeavor to serve your best interests. 2014 Supervisory Committee James J.
