2 Overview on the Economic and Interest Rate Environments Identify how the Financial Markets might impact Credit Union activity and to set strategic outlook Analysis of Credit Union s financial position and risk exposure Identify strength and weaknesses based on this outlook and regulatory environment Development of specific financial strategies for Liquidity, Earnings and Risk Specific investment portfolio management strategies to balance overall return Establish specific strategic guidelines for Balance Sheet and Portfolio Allocation, Capital Adequacy, Loan and Share Pricing, Cost Efficiencies, Liquidity and Risk Management 3 ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT: National GDP is 3.5 percent with markets expecting a slight slowdown to 1.5 to 2.0 percent for the subsequent year.. Core inflation rate is 2.5 percent with expectation of 2.0 to 2.5 percent... INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT: Overnight rates at 5.00 percent; 3mo UST at 5.00 percent; 2yr UST at 5.26 percent; 10yr UST at 5.35 percent.. FOMC maintaining a monitored approach to monetary policy.. CREDIT UNION PROFILE: $200MM in Total Assets with substantial surplus liquidity and very limited loan demand; Equity Capital is very strong but annualized ROA is 0.56 percent.. Interest rate risk profile is adverse to declining interest rates.. GOALS: Improve earnings over next two years without diluting equity profile. Reduce overall interest rate risk exposure. 4 2

3 PRESUMED ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT The fact that GDP is projected to decline over the subsequent year reflects an expectation that economic growth will begin to slow down.. This most likely suggests a slowdown in consumer spending (since two-thirds of GDP is associated with consumer spending). Lower spending could result in less demand for credit and also has an impact on consumer savings. Price appreciation (inflation) generally declines pending a weaker economy after an initial upward shift in core inflation. The slope of our implied yield curve is relatively flat which generally happens at the end of an interest rate cycle. Any subsequent movement depends on the direction of the interest rate cycle 5 INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT 8.00% 7.00% 6.00% 5.00% 3.00% 2.00% 1.00% 0.00% 6.00% 5.50% 5.00% 4.50% 2-Year US TREASURY PROJECTED Fed Funds CURRENT Rates in general have been rising over the previous few years. With slower economic growth pending, short-term spreads are narrowing, creating flatness in the yield curve. Two general rules, each of which sends the yield curve back to a normal shape...either 1) shortterm rates will fall greater than long-term rates or 2) long-term rates will increase relative to shortterm rates. We ll assume the markets are pressing for lower rate outlook as FOMC attempts to ease credit to stimulate growth. 6 3

4 APPLICABLE STRATEGY 8.00% 7.00% 6.00% 5.00% 3.00% 2.00% 1.00% 0.00% ASSET ALLOCATION, DURATION AND FIXED YIELD FUNDING ALLOCATION, DURATION AND VARIABLE COST COMMENSURATE WITH SLOWING ECONOMY IS A SUBSEQUENT DROP IN SHORT-TERM RATES. THIS SHIFTS THE SHAPE OF THE YIELD CURVE AND ULTIMATELY THE SLOPE DICTATES STRATEGY TO MANAGE THE NET INTEREST MARGIN. PRINCIPLE GOAL IS TO ENHANCE LONG-TERM ASSET YIELD THROUGH PRUDENT DURATION MANAGEMENT AND LESSEN SUBSEQUENT FUNDING COSTS THROUGH PROPER ALLOCATION AND PRICING. 7 CREDIT UNION PROFILE Balance Sheet BALANCE SHEET (in Million$) Cash $ 23.3 Investments 60.5 Loans, net Other 9.2 LOANS Amount Pct Rate WAM Unsecured $ 3, % 8.00% 3.0 Vehicle Loans 63, % Real Estate Loans 37, % Other Loans 4, % TOTAL LOANS $ 109, % Faster Prepayment Speeds?

Core inflation rate is 2.5 percent with expectation of 2.0 to 2.5 percent... INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT: Overnight rates at 5.00 percent; 3mo UST at 5.00 percent; 2yr UST at 5.26 percent; 10yr UST at 5.35 percent.. FOMC maintaining a monitored approach to monetary policy.. CREDIT UNION PROFILE: $200MM in Total Assets with substantial surplus liquidity and very limited loan demand; Equity Capital is very strong but annualized ROA is 0.56 percent.. Interest rate risk profile is adverse to declining interest rates.. GOALS: Improve earnings over next two years without diluting equity profile. Reduce overall interest rate risk exposure. 18 9

10 NET MARGIN Significant cash holdings in declining rate scenario not welcomed. Loan growth outlook very weak so alternative moves to investment portfolio.. Sizeable funding from non-term shares with relatively high COF. NET OPERATING EXPENSE: Much higher than peer group and appears to be impacted more by lack of fee generation.. Few opportunities to reduce future expense structure to benefit this year. CAPITAL: Well-capitalized; Credit union has the ability to grow assets to garner additional income, if necessary. ROA under-performing. INTEREST RATE RISK: Already adversely exposed to declining rates due to higher liquidity and high cost of funds; Best remedy is to address pricing guidelines on non-term shares. 19 INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT Relative Value of Asset Activities Portfolio Investment 1Yr 2Yrs 2.5Yrs 3Yrs 4Yrs 5Yrs U.S. Treasury % 5.26% 5.25% 5.23% 5.26% 5.21% FRM 30-yr Vehicle Loans Fixed Invmts- Fixed Maturity Agy Bullet Retail CD Invmts- Fixed Callable Agy Calls Invmts- Fixed Amortizing MBS PT/CMOs

Repricing/Reinvestment opportunities over the next year add a little more. Increasing rate sensitivity of NTS and to align average rates more to market levels. Liquidity profile not volatile. Level of fixed assets protect against declining rate scenario but amortizing creates opportunity in rising rate scenario. Equity position strengthened. 25 IMPACT ON SHORT- AND LONG-TERM INTEREST RATE RISK EXPOSURE POST-STRATEGY RESULTS Before After Short-term Exposure (Income Sim) -100 bps + 2.1% +2.7% +100 bps Long-term Exposure (NEV) -100 bps -9.8% -6.8% +100 bps bps +11.7% +10.1% +300 bps POST-STRATEGY ASSESSMENT Less exposure to declining rates in both shortand long-term assessment.. Only slightly higher risk exposure given a rising rate scenario but still considered low profile. Less volatility of existing narrow spreads relative to high cost of funds. Liquidity and cash flow profiles well structured for both rising and declining rate environment
