In addition to the privilege of being a community credit union, there is the responsibility to serve a 16-county area of East Tennessee. That responsibility includes providing convenient access to our services throughout the area. It also includes continuing our tradition of offering service and value. These are things that we continue to focus on and work toward.

Another responsibility that has become increasingly important because of our new community status is our responsibility to be a good corporate citizen. We plan to work harder to move our community forward — to make it a better place to live, work, and play. We want to bean example of a good corporate neighbor, working to make our neighborhood all it can be.

What does this change mean to long-time members? It gives us greater flexibility to grow our resources, enabling us to continue to expand and improve services. Does the change affect ourcore beliefs and practices? Absolutely not. We are still a not-for-profit financial cooperative

2003 Annual Report

“A new beginning” is an appropriate way to describe2003 at ORNL Federal Credit Union. Our transition to acommunity credit union became official as the new year gotunderway. The change was immediate as we reached out toour community, Central East Tennessee, offering all of itsresidents a new choice in financial services.

Now, instead of turning away some of our neighbors

in which all who belong benefit from our shared goal of improving the financial well-being of all members. We are still governed by you and your fellow members through our elected leaders, our volunteer Board of Directors.

What could be more appealing to consumers everywhere than having the choice of joining ORNL Federal Credit Union, a financial institution that is deeply rooted in the community, an organization that is governed and run by friends and neighbors, a business where decisions on your own personal financial matters are made locally, not on the other side of the state or even country?

We celebrate our “new beginning,” excited about the many possibilities that lie before us. And we celebrate with a rededication of our efforts to uphold the basic principles and practices that have made us who we are…a credit union…your credit union.

because they could not qualify to be within our field ofmembership, we can welcome them into our cooperativeand extend the benefits that all members have enjoyed sinceour founding.

Everyone who calls East Tennessee home can chooseORNL Federal Credit Union and discover the difference thatmembership can make.

hroughout our history of growth and change, we haveexperienced some remarkable

years, but few can compare to 2003.The reason behind this claim is thefact that ORNL Federal Credit Unionreinvented itself as a communitychartered credit union and began exercising its newlygranted authority to serve residents of a 16-county regionof East Tennessee.

After years of serving employees (and their families) of thousands of companies, businesses and organizationsin East Tennessee, membership became an option foralmost 1.1 million residents of the area, defined as the East Tennessee Development District. Anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in our newlydefined community can join our credit union and enjoythe benefits of membership. The impact of this change wasimmediate and substantial. We didn’t just set new growthrecords; we shattered the old records.

While posting respectable growth in assets (up $44 million, or 6.62%) and deposits (up $33.8 million, or 6.07%), the really impressive impact of the communitycharter was in the areas of membership (up 11,669, or 14.3%) and lending (up $72.1 million, or 16.02%).

In terms of gross membership enrollment, over 17,000 residents of East Tennessee joined our credit unionduring 2003. That’s an average of over 1,400 new members each month.

Our total loans outstanding actually grew over 20%when we discount the transfer of our credit card portfolioto Individualized BankCard Services.

Throughout the year, members took advantage of interest rates that set new lows for both consumer loansand mortgages. We marketed loans aggressively throughthe establishment of an “on-the-spot financing” operationthat focused on promoting and supporting loan under-writing at automobile dealerships. Through this program,members now enjoy the availability of convenient carfinancing at participating dealers with all the advantages ofcredit union loan rates and terms.

One of our responsibilities as a community credit unionis to reach out to the community to serve all the newly eligible residents. We took huge steps in that direction by opening three new branch locations during 2003 and a fourth location early in 2004. The new locations are Morristown, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Halls and East Knoxville.

Morristown and the surrounding Hamblen County represent a highly populated area in our community.

An opportunity to purchase an existing facility at mid-year led to our move into the Morristownarea in September. The branch, located on Andrew JohnsonHighway, immediately gave us highvisibility and full-service capability.

Opened in late September, our new state-of-the-artbranch on site at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is aproving ground for new technologies that may bedeployed in existing and new branches in years to come.From our dialogue tower, personal service stations to ourcomplex, yet-to-be-proven kiosk, the office is full of features that are providing us with experience in futureservice. This exciting new branch represents a “return toour roots.” It is our first presence on-site at the Lab in over40 years. It was made possible because of the renaissanceunderway at the Laboratory. We are grateful to have thisopportunity and we look forward to our continued association with the Lab and its employees.

In early December we opened the doors on our Halls Branch. Located in the heart of Halls, from wherethousands of members had been driving miles to get service at our branches in North Knoxville, Fountain Cityand Karns, the Halls office vastly improves convenientaccess for a large and active segment of our membership.The large facility is designed to enhance convenienceinside its lobby with the use of dialogue towers and outside with its six drive-through lanes.

In another effort to improve convenience to an under-served area of Knoxville, our East Knoxville branchopened February 2nd of this year. At the invitation of theA.M.E. Zion Church Tennessee Conference of Churches,we established a branch facility in their new center at2321 East Magnolia Avenue. This non-traditional branchoffers a wide range of services including all deposit, loanand transactional services, as well as mortgage lendingand ATM service.

Although growth is important to your credit union as it allows us to continue improving our efficiency and levels of service, one of the most important initiatives ever undertaken by ORNL Federal Credit Unionis our all-out effort to provide our employees with the toolsthey need to offer a higher level of personal service.Structured programs are provided to employees toenhance their ability to meet and exceed members’expectations. Information from sources, such as, our annual membership survey, was put to use in helping us understand what members want, need and expect from their credit union. In addition, training is now a

continuing process that targets the individual needs ofdepartments and branches.

Several operational changes were made during theyear to improve efficiency, reduce expenses and enhanceexisting services. At the start of 2003, we began a plannedphase-out of our Money Belt card. A staple of our serviceofferings since the early 1980s, the Money Belt card wasour first ATM card. It served members well for many yearsuntil the evolution of the more versatile debit card (checkcard). Introduced several years ago, our Cheque Mate™

VISA Check Card duplicated and expanded the functionality of the Money Belt card. Obviously, theduplication of functions represented unnecessaryexpense. For this reason, members using the Money Beltcard were shifted over to a Cheque Matecard. The result was annual savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars for ourcredit union.

The Cheque Mate card is used byincreasing numbers of members for Internetpurchases. To help protect members againstfraud, we enrolled our debit card system inthe Verified by VISA program. This program adds anotherlayer of verification of identity when members make purchases through participating online merchants.

Another service enhancement was made for ourIndividual Retirement Accounts when we purchased supplemental deposit insurance protection. Although IRAdeposits are federally insured up to $100,000, separatefrom the federal deposit insurance on other credit unionaccounts, we purchased an additional $250,000 in coverage per member through American Share Insurance,a private corporation.

After months of development and testing, we introduced a new online mortgage application andapproval system in the fall of 2003. Accessed through ourweb site at www.ornlfcu.com, our new MortgagesOnline system offers an array of tools to assist members inthe home purchasing process. And, of course, members can apply online, track the progress of their mortgageapplication and, in many cases, get preliminary approvalfor a mortgage within minutes.

We also stepped up efforts to communicate with members online. In late summer, we published and distributed our first-ever e-newsletter. While it is an electronic version of our bi-monthly printed newsletter,Update, it enables members to communicate with us viae-mail. It also offers a variety of links to web sites that provide detailed information related to specific stories.Member response has been growing with each issue.

Still in its infancy, our Member Business ServicesDepartment added two important new services to assistbusiness owners. First, through a partnership with a third-party vendor, we began offering card-processing services to member businesses. This service enables some merchants to reduce their costs of accepting and processing debit and credit card purchases.

The second major service added to our MemberBusiness Services area was Small Business AdministrationLoans (SBA). We are pleased to report that ORNL FederalCredit Union was the first credit union in the state ofTennessee to be granted authority to offer SBA loans. Weexpect many of our member businesses to take advantageof this popular lending program.

Late in the year, members who use anORNL FCU-issued credit card were notifiedthat we are transferring ownership, servicingand administration of our credit card program to Individualized BankCardServices, a leader in providing superiorcredit card service and value. This businessdecision was made on the basis of our

ability to provide competitive card features, in an area ofour business that is intensely competitive, and benefitsfrom the economies of a large card base generating highvolumes of transactions. In the end, we were able to benefit as a credit union from the sale of our credit cardportfolio. Individual members are able to benefit by getting a better card with more features at the same oreven less cost than our previous program.

One method used by credit unions throughout the country to provide non-traditional services and supplementary services to members is the creation of aCredit Union Service Corporation (CUSO). During thesummer, ORNL Federal Credit Union formed the AffinityTitle Company, a CUSO-owned entity that provides titleservices to our mortgage lending department. This allowsus to provide a basic service to our mortgage-lendingdepartment, thereby enabling them to close real estateloans quicker.

Operating as a community chartered credit unionrequires us to think and act differently, particularly as itpertains to corporate responsibilities. As we have in yearspast, we supported organizations that target improvementsin the social well-being of our community, as well asorganizations that provide recreational and educationalactivities.

“ ...2003 was a remarkable year,

a record-setting year. “

Page 4: 2003 ORNL FCU Annual Report

The highlight of our community involvement effortsoccurred during late summer when we were given the opportunity to become the first-ever Presenting Sponsor ofthe 2004 Dogwood Arts Festival. This annual celebrationof spring is, without a doubt, the premier community-wideevent for Central East Tennessee. Our sponsorship permitsus to visibly demonstrate our intent to help make our community a better place for members and potentialmembers to live, work, and play.

As previously stated, 2003 was a remarkable year, arecord-setting year. To recognize that fact and to share oursuccess with those who made it possible, your Board ofDirectors voted another year-end bonus dividend. Thisspecial dividend amounted to .30% of each member’saverage total daily share deposits for the year. The totalpay-out was approximately $1.6 million. This marks thesecond year in a row that your board approved and paida year-end bonus dividend.

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2004, we plan tofocus on our efforts to improve services and processes. Inaddition, we see a year in which we are likely to be presented with opportunities to better serve members. For instance, we don’t have specific plans to build or open any new branches during 2004; however, we may receive inquiries that lead to opportunities to expandour branch network for the good of the members we serve.

For the sake of service to members, we plan to expandcapabilities to efficiently serve growing numbers of members. Beginning the year with a membership rostertotaling over 93,000, we expect to eclipse the 100,000-member mark sometime around mid-year. Obviously, wedon’t want this rapid growth rate to cause a deteriorationof service levels. That’s why we are dedicating resourcesto maintain and improve service to members. Service standards are being established, reviewed and revised toensure that we are moving closer to our credit union’svision of “exceeding members’ expectations,one member at a time.”

Processes are also under constant review.We’re looking to eliminate unnecessaryprocesses where they exist and to improveexisting processes that can free employees tospend more time serving members. Oneprocess improvement already completed forthis year relates to computer processes. InFebruary of this year, we installed a newcomputer system that raises our data processing speed significantly. The result has been greatly reduced time required for overnight processing and reports. Moreimportantly, processing speeds for front

office functions have improved. This, of course, is criticalto our efforts to serve members faster.

We will continue to expand our own ATM network,which will add more machines and the accompanying convenience it affords members. Related to this effort is our planned change of ATM processors later in the year.The resulting change, we believe, will improve the abilityof employees to manage our ATMs and to provide betterand faster service to members who require help with ATM transactions.

In early March 2004, we completed the ownershiptransfer of our credit card portfolio to IndividualizedBankCard Services (IBS). We hope that those of you whocarry our newly branded credit card find it to be a betterand more versatile financial tool. Credit card competitionis intense, and it’s becoming more and more difficult toprovide a competitive service. This partnership with IBS,we believe, will allow us to offer members a richly-featured credit card to meet their changing needs.

We expect 2004 to be another year of very low interestrates. Low interest rates are a strain on members who relyon interest income as a major source of revenue whilethey are a boon to those who want or need to borrow. Yourcredit union is also critically affected when interest rates are as low as we have experienced the past coupleof years. In this economic environment, total revenues for us are reduced greatly, increasing pressure to tightlycontrol expenses. This, of course, makes it more challenging to expand and improve service to members.The good news is that we have met these challenges in thepast and have prevailed.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff of your credit union, ORNL Federal Credit Union, I want to thank you for placing your trust in us during 2003. I alsowant to assure you that, during 2004 and beyond, we arededicated to providing you and your family with a wide

selection of financial services that offer valueand convenience.

While we have just completed a year ofremarkable growth and progress, let me assureyou that we never lose sight of the reason for our past and current success. You, ourmember-owners, have been and continue tobe the focal point of all our plans, discussionsand decisions.
