Report of the Supervisory Committee
The Supervisory Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and is responsible for ensuring the financial safety and soundness of our Credit Union.As part of their duties, they contract with external auditors for various audits and directly oversee the functions of our internal audit program on a year-round basis. They meet regularly with the Board of Directors and provide the Board with reports of their audits and audit findings. One of these audits was the annual supervisory committee audit required by our Regulator, the National Credit Union Administration. This audit was conducted by the accounting firm of Turner, Warren, Hwang & Conrad of Burbank, California, and covered the twelve months ending March 31, 2011. No significant findings were reported in this audit of the financial records and member accounts.One of our new Supervisory Committee Members, Patrick McCloskey (a CPA and partner at Gentile, McCloskey & Company), assumed the Chair role for the Supervisory Committee in 2011. His expertise is perfectly suited for this role. We will be recruiting for a new Committee member in 2012, since one of our 2011 members, Joe Coria, resigned due to increased work responsibilities. We are so appreciative of his service and he will be missed.

We also continued our celebration of Youth Month in April, nationally recognized as Financial Literacy Month. Through our savings challenge and finance-themed art contests, young members were encouraged to recognize the importance of building a savings habit. In keeping with the musical theme, our youth showed us with their deposits and their artistic talents that “Money Rocks” at SCE FCU. The winners of our deposit challenge and art contests
received a total of $850 in cash prizes to keep them rocking on.The Foundation’s scholarship program, in its second year, continued to provide monetary assistance for college students from low-income families who demonstrate a pattern of excellence in their academics and community involvement. In 2011, twelve very deserving students received $1,000 scholarships for their college expenses. In the spirit of paying it forward, we donated $31,100 in charitable grants to local community organizations. Through these small
grants, SCE FCU is part of caring programs that improve the quality of life for disadvantaged individuals and families. In 2011 our donations funded several youth leadership and mentoring programs; food and clothing assistance for needy families; health, wellness and fitness education for families; and holiday toys for disadvantaged children.The Foundation is proud of all we do to positively impact our communities, which wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of SCE FCU members, directors and employees. We thank you!
2011 was a year of building and strengthening the Foundation’s programs. We continued to form community relationships with organizations that help us achieve our goal of spreading financial literacy. We established new relationships with schools and community groups, resulting in more classroom presentations to more students.For our core training, the Foundation facilitated 138 financial literacy workshops, reaching 3,230 youth and 586 adults with personal finance education. In comparison, these numbers nearly double the results we had in the previous year!This year we introduced a new financial learning experience for high school students, by arranging a unique field trip to the Federal Reserve Bank’s branch in downtown Los Angeles. This exclusive tour, specially arranged for SCE FCU, helped students get up close and personal with our country’s national money system. It was a very eye-opening trip for twenty-seven students, and a great learning opportunity the Foundation hopes to sponsor again in the future for deserving classrooms at our other partnering schools. We continued refining our “real-life” simulation event for teens, Mad City Money, in which students experience life complete with jobs, spouses, kids, debt, and financial responsibilities. We hosted three events in 2011 for a total of 154 participating students. Parents, teachers, community leaders and SCE FCU employees all volunteered to make these events successful.

merger also adds geographic diversification and greater convenience for the 400+ SCE FCU members who already reside in Southern Nevada.

Treasurer’s Report
SCE FCU performed remarkably well in 2011, despite contending with a persistently challenging economic environment. We made loans for members, increasing volumes by 3.1% or $8.9 million (a 150% increase in volume over 2010). A significant portion of that increase can be attributed to a very successful 10-year mortgage promotion. We increased savings by 3.8% or
$15.6 million, which represents a 17% slower growth rate than what we experienced in 2010. A low interest rate environment makes it very difficult to raise savings rates for our members. We now have $10.2 million in our allowance for loan loss account. We are well reserved for future losses and well positioned for future earnings once loan losses subside and the provision for loan loss expense returns to more routine levels.Our financial performance showed a net income of $3.1 million, almost 20% above 2010 and $1 million above budget. A portion of that variance ($550,000) can be attributed to transactions related to our business and mortgage Credit Union Service Organizations (CUSOs). We also made significant “contributions” to the National
Credit Union Administration (NCUA) in the amount of $1.03 million to the corporate credit union stabilization fund. We had positive earnings for every quarter in 2011.We are also reporting a net worth ratio of 9.19% at year end, compared to 8.97% at year end 2010, and comfortably above the 7% ratio required for classification as a well-capitalized credit union.
