Board of Directors’ Report Fiscal Year Ending Oct 31, 2015 Despite another year of low interest rates in the market and the Bank of Canada continuing to lower overnight lending rates, the Shell Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) closed the year positively, showing an overall profit of $554k before taxes and the return of a 3% dividend to its members ($161k). The summarized year-over-year results were: Total Member Assets increased by 1.1% to $270M vs budget of $271M Deposits by Members increased by 1.2% to $252M vs budget of $254M Loans to Members decreased by 0.7% to $222M vs budget of $236M Membership decreased by 0.6% in 2015 to 6041 members vs budget of 6080

SECU continues to maintain a conservative business model due to the ongoing instability of the global financial industry and extremely low interest rates. We continue to make sure that our business strategies and activities are aligned and congruent with a low margin operation. The board continues to provide overall governance, risk management and ongoing regulatory reviews to ensure that we are well positioned to maintain robust, responsive, ongoing operations. “Earning the right to grow” by

finding cost savings and more efficient processes without compromising our governance will continue to be a strong corner stone to our business plan going forward. The review of the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process) requirements supporting a strong capital growth program is one example of the oversight provided by your board. On an inception-to-date basis, 201 members have contributed up to the maximum of $5000 into their common share account, which accounts for almost $1.25M into the equity of SECU in only five years and this improves our capital base, particularly when capital growth is expected by our regulator. SECU equity to assets is 5.83%, which signals a strong capitalization given our risk profile and prudent loan governance. It has now been three years since we moved our Calgary office back to Shell Centre and we continue to see the benefits of our proximity and increased visibility to Shell employees. Our efforts at maintaining and fostering relationships with Shell focal points and employee network groups remain a top priority, especially now when staffing changes at Shell put these established relationship at risk of disintegrating. In 2015, we had the great privilege of being involved with Shell’s Parental Leave Information Session, United Way’s Annual Campaign, and of course, the twice-weekly onboarding of new hires at Shell – all results of opportunities brought to us by our members. This year, we are proud to say that we are linking up with the employee network AsiaNet to deliver not one, but a series of monthly Financial Literacy Seminars to Shell people. As a result of this initiative, we have also received expressions of interest for Financial Literacy Seminars at other Shell sites. Please know that as members, you play an integral part in being SECU advocates, so while we always appreciate member referrals, we are also open to any opportunities that would allow us to get in front of our members and any potential members. The enhanced visibility of being located on the main floor of Shell Centre has also helped us to recruit and attract diverse, top talent to our board, which in turn provides heightened governance, engagement, and oversight of our business. This year, we received 12 applications for our Board of Director vacancies - an impressive number that further highlights how invested and engaged our members are. There is of course the downside, which is the lease commitment on our Altius Centre space - still ongoing despite our continued work with realtors and our property management company to find suitable renters. The state of Calgary’s commercial real estate market has certainly added to the challenge of offloading this space, such that our team is now also looking at other opportunities to recoup some or all of our occupancy costs. Some examples include an invitation to submit Expressions of Interest proposals through the Calgary Arts Development and Art Spaces Program, as well through United Way. Again, we continue to ask you, our members, for any leads on interested parties, keeping in mind that this rental opportunity is not just available for commercial use, but also for non-profit organizations. The Board and Management continue to work on shaping our Employee Value Proposition with additional training and succession planning, as well as adjustments to employee pension and benefit programs, while keeping a low costs environment in mind. We continue to take advantage of

opportunities to hone our employees’ leadership skills through the Alberta Young Leaders Program, where we have two participants graduating this year – John Knight and Dennise Yambao. We will also have a new candidate joining the program in April as a 1st year cohort. What a commitment to development and leadership continuity to our CU! The Marketing committee and management team worked on several exciting projects this year, such as the launch of e-newsletters and the unveiling of our re-designed and upgraded website, shellcu.com. We also had some memorable campaigns, namely our Valentine’s Day promotion on the Deposit and Wealth side, and our 1% cash-back MOREgage campaign on the Credit side. We continue to gain momentum on the Business Banking side, where one of the previous year’s most notable wins was acquiring the membership of a Shell Centre coffee shop. Overdraft accounts are now available to all members, and come at a time when members may benefit most from some protection and peace of mind. Lastly, our management, board, and AYL team performed a thorough review of our miscellaneous service charges to ensure competitiveness in the market, with an eye on proactively mitigating further margin compression. We continue to see training and development of Board and Staff as a high priority and commitment. In 2015, all board members completed mandatory Anti-Money Laundering training and three board members completed a Credit Union Director Achievement course while management and board members participated in the following conferences throughout the year.

I would like to thank our members for their support through this past year as we continue to grow and blossom in our new Shell Centre space. I would also like to recognize all of the dedicated, committed, hard-working Board Members, Management and Staff for ensuring the successful, ongoing operations of the Shell Employees’ Credit Union.

Report of the Audit Finance Committee Fiscal Year ending Oct 31, 2015 The purpose of the Audit Finance Committee is to provide for an independent review of the Credit Union’s operation. Specifically, the Committee provides assurance around the integrity of the financial data, adequacy of financial controls and overall adherence to sound business practices. To fulfill this mandate, the Committee meets throughout the year to evaluate the financial reporting and performance of the business as well as reviewing internal and external audit results, including management’s responses to any reported deficiencies. The Committee reports its activities to the broader Board as a part of every regular Board Meeting. During this past year three audits were undertaken by Alberta Central Audit Services. These audits confirm that the Credit Union’s overall controls are strong and the Audit Finance Committee is pleased with the progress that has been made. In light of solid audit results the Audit Committee supported reducing audit frequency from Alberta Central from three times a year to twice a year. This also has the added benefit of reducing audit support effort and costs. The Credit Union also changed external auditors this year. After many years with Hawkings Epp Dumont the change was made to Collins Barrow. This change provides a fresh perspective to the Credit Union and aligns with good governance practices. From an operating performance perspective, the Credit Union has weathered a significant downturn in the oil and gas industry, delivering another profitable year in 2015. Growth slowed in 2015 with asset growth of $3 Million and deposit growth of $3.4 million. During the same year loans declined by $1.6 million.

Overall, financial margin growth was negative, settling at 1.37% of assets despite decreasing interest rates, falling behind the previous year’s 1.49%. Managing costs continue to be a key focus for the credit union with costs at 1.35% of assets. Conclusively, the Credit Union earned a $485,000 after tax profit for 2015. This was helped by a one-time patronage distribution after-tax of over $158,000. Costs continue to be key focus for the Credit Union. The Credit Union’s operating expenses continued to be burdened by the lease obligation at the former branch at the Altius building. Management continues to explore options for eliminating the additional cost associated with this obligation. The competitive marketplace and low interest rate environment continues to pressure the Credit Union’s ability to generate growth in the financial margin. The management and Audit Finance Committee continue to be diligent in its oversight of this important measure of profitability for the business.

Credit Union members once again enjoyed a dividend based on their common share ownership. This year’s payout reflects a dividend payout of just over $160,000 or 3% on each common share. This reflects a balance approach between growing equity to ensure a strong financial position, and providing solid returns for our members.

In closing, the Credit Union management and staff delivered another profitable year of operation. Members have the added benefit of enjoying competitive products, personal service and profit sharing as well as having deposits and accrued interest 100% guaranteed through the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation. From a personal perspective, I’d like to thank the members of the Audit Finance Committee for their active participation and oversight as well as the Credit Union’s management and staff for delivering on a successful year.

Report of the Credit Committee Fiscal Year ending Oct 31, 2015 The Credit Union’s loan portfolio was $221.84M at fiscal year-end, October 31, 2015. This represents a decrease of $1.58M or 0.71% from 2014. We are pleased to see this stability in the loan portfolio given the economic challenges faced by Alberta and the energy sector this year. The Credit Union is proactively monitoring the external environment on an ongoing basis to identify potential impacts to our membership and lending portfolio. In 2015 the Prime Rate decreased twice in response to Bank of Canada rate adjustments, ultimately settling at 2.70%. Competitive interest rates and a strong demand for consolidation loans and vehicle purchases facilitated the increase in the consumer loan portfolio. The cooling housing sales market in the second half of the fiscal year contributed to the decrease in the residential mortgage portfolio. In addition, lines of credit decreased as this segment saw more pay down of revolving debt in response to economic uncertainty. The Credit Union continued to participate in syndicated loans, which are joint lending agreements to finance a credit request that exceeds another individual credit union’s lending limit. Syndicated loans earn a strong return helping to offset low mortgage lending rates. The annual volume variance in our loan products are categorized below: • Consumer Loans: $658 thousand 4.87% increase • Residential Mortgages: ($1.54 million) 0.90% decrease • Line of Credits: ($1.93 million) 5.58% decrease • Syndicated Loans: $1.24 million 32.54% increase The average loan rate was 3.25% for October 2015.

We are pleased to present that loan write-offs for the year totaled $0 and recoveries of prior year write-offs totaled $10,718. This past year and the 5 year average continues to be very low compared to industry experience and is a result of the Credit Union's low risk lending strategy. The Credit Union management and the credit committee constantly monitor delinquent accounts and staff work promptly with members to resolve any delinquency issues.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Credit Union's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's Internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our audit opinion.
