he summarized financial statement in-formation included in this annual report
was prepared by Unitus Community CreditUnion management and compiled from theCredit Union’s consolidated financial state-ments.
In preparing the financial statements,management depends upon the CreditUnion’s system of internal accounting con-trols in meeting its responsibility for reliableinformation. The Supervisory Committee,which consists of four volunteer membersappointed by the Board of Directors, moni-tors the accounting system on behalf of allUnitus members.
The Committee meets periodically withthe Board of Directors, the Chief InternalAuditor, and management to discuss ac-counting, financial reporting, internal con-trol systems and processes, and auditingmatters.
As part of fulfilling its duties, the Com-mittee engaged the independent account-ing firm Moss Adams LLP to conduct the2006 audit of the Credit Union and providean opinion of the financial statements as awhole. A copy of the certified audit report isavailable for review by interested membersupon request.
The audit substantiated the solid finan-cial performance of the Credit Union andaffirmed the operational practices of man-agement. It also offers definitive evidencethat the membership’s assets are secure. Itis the Committee’s opinion that the CreditUnion’s day-by-day practices remain in com-pliance with the Credit Union bylaws, stateand federal regulations, and acceptable ac-counting procedures.
Also under the direction of the CommitteeMoss Adams LLP managed the 2006 verifica-tion of members’ accounts. The outcome of thisaudit further substantiates the responsible fi-nancial operation of the Credit Union.
My thanks is extended to Committee mem-bers for their time and energy given during thepast year. We look forward to serving the Unitusmembership in 2007.

early seventy years ago, on July 7,1937, seventeen employees of
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph met toform the Oregon Telephone Employee’sCredit Union. The purpose of the CreditUnion was to pool its savings and cre-ate a fund for making low cost loans tomembers. By year’s end the number ofmembers had grown to 217, and theirpooled assets totaled just over $3,000.
The seven original Board mem-bers were Isaac W. Anderson, D.O.Denman, Jake A. Ellis, Frederick M.Gavin, Genard D. Gleason, H.S. Hayes,and E.T. Healy. Worth noting is thatFrederick Gavin was the grandfather ofTerry Gavin, our current Board Chair-man and co-author of this report. Thiscontinuity from generation to genera-tion is a recurring theme as we lookback through the years.
From our modest beginning in 1937,your Credit Union grew to becomeUnitus, embracing all people from allwalks of life in the seven county regionwe now serve. Some 60,000 of ourfriends and neighbors are Unitus mem-bers, and total assets have surpassed$660 million. These measures of suc-cess—along with strong growth inloans, member savings, and capital
