Global Cooperative Principles for Georgia Credit Unions
• Members, Not Just Customers – By joining a credit union, people become member/owners.
Members expect more value and deserve more respect than is available in the typical customer
interaction at non-cooperative financial institutions.
• Democratic Control – Members have equal influence in the voting process and equal opportunity to
run for election to the board-one member, one vote. Once elected, directors have fiduciary
responsibility to all members.
• Service Differentiates – Democratic control provides a decision-making environment that elevates
creating value for the members above profit accumulation at the credit union. It is the dedication to
providing service that differentiates credit unions from for-profit suppliers.
• “Profits” Belong to the Members – In order to grow and provide new services, credit unions
generate capital by retaining a portion of earnings. These retained earnings are used for the
betterment of the entire membership.
Being Present for Our Members
Georgia credit unions serve more than 1.7 million people. Being present for our
members reflects the philosophy of “People Helping People.” The absence of a profit
motive enables our state’s credit unions to focus their energies on meeting members’
needs. Being present for our members is a state of mind, a call to action, and the
way things are done at Georgia credit unions.
2002 was a year that still left many reeling from the terrorist attacks of 2001.
Credit unions had to deal with new rules regarding homeland security. The economy
has not recovered and credit unions are feeling the pain. Members are keeping their
dollars safe in share accounts, concerned about the economy, the future and their own
jobs. Shares are up, some types of loans are down.
As not-for-profit cooperatives, member service is the reason for credit unions’ existence and success. However, competition has intensified and technology has improved,
leaving members with more choices and better knowledge. Credit unions recognize the
challenge and endeavor to meet their members’ needs for new products and services.
Credit unions are recognized for their personal attention, high-quality service and
low fees. The members appreciate that, as indicated in the most recent American
Banker/Gallup poll results. Credit unions had the highest ranking in customer satisfaction of any financial services organization. Since 1989, credit unions have topped the
consumer satisfaction ratings in every American Banker/Gallup poll.
The survey found that 76% of members who use credit unions as their primary
financial institution said they were “very satisfied” with the service, up from 75% in the
2001 poll. And 53% gave credit unions the best marks for low fees, compared to a
29% rating for bank customers and 28% for those who primarily use thrifts. Service
makes the difference – being present for our members.
Banks have charged that credit unions are less willing than banks to provide mortgage loans to low-income people. Yet statistics show that credit unions are more likely
than non-credit union lenders to approve loans to low-income people or minorities, if
they are members of credit unions.
Being present for our members also includes our communities. As an extension of
the “people helping people” philosophy, credit unions support various charitable and
civic organizations. Through donations of money, time, and service, credit unions help
their communities become better places to live. They help those in need and they
strengthen the economy of the community.
Georgia’s state credit union organizations embrace the same principles. The
Georgia Credit Union League, Georgia Central Credit Union and Cooperative Services,
Inc. assist the credit unions of Georgia in becoming the premier providers of consumer
financial services. The report you are about to read chronicles the ways that the
Georgia credit union support organizations assist credit unions to succeed. The directors of each of the support organizations appreciate the support and involvement of
member credit unions during 2002 and in the years ahead.

CHAIR’S
R E P O R T
The economy has to be characterized as being soft in 2002. Most credit union leaders would describe the last
dozen or so months in the context of members that had little faith in the stock market and who were becoming
increasingly concerned for their long-term financial well-being. Many began to rethink their spending and borrowing
plans in the short run. And, most not-so-jokingly claimed that their primary retirement strategy was to work longer.
Credit unions themselves have held up surprisingly well. Despite rapid deposit growth, credit union return
on assets averaged a healthy 1%. And, capital levels are still above 10% at most credit unions. Consumer
advocates continue to recommend credit union membership when people express dissatisfaction with their
accounts at for-profit institutions. It is nice to know that credit unions still matter to people, especially at times
like this.
Your League board completed the simplification of the governance structure in 2002. In May, twelve directors
(down from 15) were elected under the new District-based system that utilizes ballot elections. We immediately
formed a League Finance Task Force to review trade association priorities and funding requirements. They had the
courage to take a long-term view and recommended several sweeping changes designed to get more resources
focused on the critical advocacy function. The board has moved forward with forming a new CU Progress Fund,
encouraging more multi-state service collaboration and established an expanded role for the Foundation in helping
smaller credit unions succeed. Your League is now well-endowed with people and resources to face the future.
Respectfully submitted,
Janet Davis
League Chair
PRESIDENT’S
R E P O R T
It is reassuring to know that credit unions are so appreciated in a year of declining consumer confidence like
2002. Clearly, credit unions are regarded as a safe place to keep their savings. And, there is no question that
credit unions are considered to have the best rates and fees…at least compared to other insured institutions.
During 2002, much work took place to improve the convenience of access through branch, telephone and
Internet channels. It has not been an easy year and things are hardly looking better in the years ahead as
America settles into the practical implications of a protracted war on terrorism. But, we can be proud of our
accomplishments. More important, credit unions are better situated than most organizations to handle the challenges ahead.
During 2002, the League has been active in supporting the interests of credit unions on a number of fronts.
External advocacy activities included attempting to pass bankruptcy reform and regulatory relief legislation at the national level. At the state level, our staff was busy trying to protect credit union interests in the debate over predatory real
estate lending legislation. Later in the year, Georgia politics would be upended with upset victories in races for the
Governor and U.S. Senate seats. In the process, the state Senate would change party control and a long time House
Speaker would be dethroned. Credit unions fared remarkably well before and after the election in terms of political
action.
Creative distance learning tools came to Georgia credit unions over the telephone and through the Internet
during 2002. This responded to a growing need for less expensive and more convenient training for credit
union staff. Georgia-developed programs are used by many other Leagues today. In addition, CUNA has
improved its arsenal of education offerings. Our information resources are enhanced by the weekly distribution
of e-Digest…a new 2002 service. And, unlike some other Leagues, we have renewed our commitment to infield consulting services for small credit unions with the funding support of the Georgia Credit Union
Foundation. It has been a good year. We are dedicated to more value creation in the years ahead. Thanks for
your support.
Sincerely,

League President
ADVOCACY
The Advocacy Team focused in three areas: government relations, public
relations and community involvement.
Utilizing the Advocacy Plan, a document of goals and strategies, the Team
implemented new programs to intensify awareness of credit unions throughout Georgia. “Creating Influence” - the Advocacy eNewsletter - kept credit
union officials informed on the latest news regarding legislative/regulatory
issues, public relations activities and community involvement.
Further strengthening Georgia’s credit union presence in Washington,
credit union representatives participated in two “Hike the Hill” events during
2002. In addition to the GAC event, a joint “Hike” took place in October with
Ohio credit unions.
Credit union visibility among Georgia state legislators was enhanced in
2002. Legislation on predatory lending and other issues required a full-time
presence by Advocacy Team members at the state capitol during the General
Assembly. GCUL board members, state legislators and state regulators interacted at the League Legislative Dinner in February.
League staff also worked to coordinate campaign involvement by credit
union officials for state and federal candidates who were recognized as “credit
union-friendly”. Several candidates visited local credit unions in their districts.
ElectionWatch 2002 was a nonpartisan political program designed to
encourage credit union members to vote in the 2002 elections. It featured
online information about political candidates who declared their candidacy for
state and Congressional offices and provided assistance for those who
weren’t registered to vote. The campaign message was “if credit union people don’t vote, credit union people don’t count.”
Media awareness of credit unions increased. Media outlets throughout the
state received more information about Georgia’s credit unions and their services
than ever before. A Reporter’s Guide was developed and distributed statewide.
Credit unions around the state celebrated International Credit Union Week
in October. Radio commercials were sponsored on 116 radio stations. A public
affairs radio program aired on many of those stations, featuring credit union
executives who told listeners how credit unions help their members “build a better tomorrow.” Gift baskets were delivered to morning-drive deejays
and Clark Howard at top-rated radio stations in major Georgia
cities, which included information about credit unions, the
benefits of membership and how to join.
Community Involvement activities included
“Books for Children” which helped to collect more
than 14,000 new children’s books. Credit unions
raised more than $170,000 in 2002 for Georgia’s
Children’s Miracle Network hospitals as part of
Credit Unions for Kids.
Being Present for
Our Members…
Advocacy Team members met
with GA Secretary of State Cathy
Cox to introduce the ElectionWatch
2002 program. Sr. VP/Advocacy
Cindy Connelly presented an information packet to Cox, and
explained that the purpose of the
nonpartisan program was to
encourage credit unions members
to vote in the primary and general
elections and to be informed about
the voting decisions. Secretary
Cox asked credit unions to help in
the voter registration process by
distributing voter registration cards
for the November election. Team
members had the opportunity to
see the new computerized voting
machine and test its operation.
They worked with the Secretary’s
office to coordinate opportunities
for the machines to be available at
chapter meetings (Greater Atlanta
and Middle GA) prior to the
November election.

CREDIT UNION
DEVELOPMENT
Rapidly expanding information and education needs at Georgia credit
unions provided lots of opportunities for Credit Union Development in 2002.
This department assists credit unions in the areas of education,
development, compliance, and consulting.
Being Present for
Our Members…
In June, twenty Georgia credit union
officials traveled to Poland for the tenth
anniversary of the Polish credit union
movement. The achievements of the
Polish movement were recognized as part
of the 6th International Credit Union
Leadership Institute and WOCCU Annual
General Meeting in Warsaw.
Georgia credit unions became
involved with the Polish credit union
movement in its early years, assisting in
the design and development of their
national system. The formal partnership
agreement was signed in 1995. Since
then, the partnership has grown to 16
credit unions, including two partnerships,
which were formalized in 2002. While
credit union officials visited with their
partner credit unions throughout Poland,
Affiliates staff members met, in Gdansk,
with representatives of the National
Association of Cooperative and Savings
Credit Unions (NACSCU), the national trade
association for credit unions in Poland.
Several credit union officials attended
the WOCCU International Conference
opening ceremonies, featuring Lech
Walesa, former leader of the Solidarity
movement and past president of Poland.
Mike Mercer, GCUA President and CEO,
spoke at one of the educational sessions
during the conference about the value of
the Georgia-Polish Partnership.

The Shared Credit Union Compliance Specialist Program was
launched which allows credit unions to lease a portion of a compliance
specialist. It is an affordable and effective way for credit unions to address
the issue of compliance head-on.
The Website and Marketing Compliance Guide was updated to better
meet the needs of credit unions in advertising and electronic banking. Credit
unions could download the entire guide or sections from the Affiliates website.
The League continued to work on a joint compliance project with the
Leagues of Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Texas to identify areas where
leagues' technology infrastructure could be collaboratively developed. Areas
included database management, website development, content enrichment
and education/training enhancements.
Once the Georgia Fair Lending Act was passed by the Georgia state
legislature, compliance with the new law became a major concern. The
League partnered with the Georgia Bankers Association on a GAFLA
Compliance Toolkit and Workshop, which was designed to ease the
compliance burden by including comprehensive compliance strategies,
model forms and checklists.
The League offered a diverse array of learning opportunities. Credit
union staff members could attend local and regional workshops, statewide
schools and conferences, conventions, distance learning programs, and
Internet web casts - all tailored to meet the needs of large, medium or small
credit unions.
Through joint collaboration with the Georgia Credit Union League and
eleven other Leagues, four Internet webcast training opportunities were
offered in 2002. The webcasts were live and interactive, providing current
information from national experts on subjects that are important to all credit
unions. Credit union staff could stay in their offices and have more participate in the trainings at rates that were very affordable for them. In addition,
the webcasts could be archived for future access up to a month following
the broadcasts.
League staff assisted several credit unions with planning sessions and
development of various levels of business plans. Participation of consultants
varied from credit union to credit union based upon the organization's needs
- from goal-setting and action plans to strategic planning and identifying
competitive opportunities. Planning encouraged credit unions to think ahead
and face challenges before problems could occur. Consulting services
helped credit unions develop marketing and business plans, identify
competitive opportunities and establish goals.
CONSULTATIVE
SUPPORT SERVICES
MARKETING SERVICES
Marketing Services embraced a different approach in 2002. The
department has positioned itself to be a partner with credit unions in
achieving growth. While continuing to provide collateral material such as
statement stuffers, newsletters and other marketing pieces, marketing
services worked collaboratively with credit union officials to develop plans
for growth. Marketing programs were uniquely designed for each credit
union, whether they were seeking membership growth, improved profitability
or enhanced member satisfaction. The staff supported credit unions in their
efforts to achieve tangible returns on investments in marketing activities.
HUMAN RESOURCES
In 2002, the League's HR department offered a variety of human
resource services to Georgia credit unions in addition to serving its own
employees. Services included recruitment, development of job descriptions
and salary ranges, preparation and placement of ads in publications that
target candidates, and identifying candidates that met the selection criteria.
Beginning in 2003, HR services will be delivered under the HRx brand name
in conjunction with The Alliance for Credit Unions, a new joint venture with
the Florida League.
CU SUPPORT NET
One of the League’s major efforts in 2002 was to assist credit unions
as they embraced Internet and website technologies in order to improve
convenience and achieve distribution economies. CU SupportNet is a group
dedicated to this end. An affordable package was created to help smaller
credit unions get their own websites up and running. Training was provided
on compliance, content and design. Many of the credit unions now rely on
CU Support Net for monthly maintenance.
CU Match Up - a credit union search program - was launched in April. It
is a user-friendly, web-based service that links potential members with credit
unions in Georgia and other states that they may be eligible to join. Site
users can search in English and in Spanish. More than 75% of
affiliated credit unions in Georgia now participate in CU
Match Up. In 2002, hits
averaged a total of 319 searches per month. From
these searches, hits were made to identified credit
unions an average of 267 times per month.
Being Present for
Our Members…
Georgia Power Northeast Credit
Union in Athens serves more than
1500 members around the country,
with a full-time staff of two people.
Manager Lisa Thurmond realized
the credit union needed to provide
information and services to their
members in a faster and more efficient way. So they worked with
CU Support Net in setting up a
website. Kristi Arrington, Director
of Internet Products, and Neal
Barbre, Web Publishing Production
Specialist, helped her design the
site and determine content. Once
the website was up, CU Support
Net continued its support with a
monthly maintenance program.
“We’re grateful for the Affiliates’
expertise - we were overwhelmed
by all the possibilities,” said
Thurmond. “They provided an
affordable way to build a website.”
Currently, the website offers information on loans and savings, but
home banking should be added
within a year. The credit union can
access statistical data about website hits on a regular basis. “We’ve
grown every month,” she said.

Being present for our member credit unions requires that the Georgia Credit Union League (the League) and
subsidiary companies manage their financial affairs in a manner that protects member assets and allocates
financial resources in accordance with member needs. It is my pleasure to report that the financial position and
operating results for the year ended December 31, 2002 reflects these underlying fiscal principles.
The League’s total assets as of year-end 2002 were $3,076,395 and it maintains a strong balance sheet
with cash reserves of over $1.2 million and total retained capital of just under $3 million. The retained equity
balance equates to just over 1.8 times the primary source of revenue collected during 2002 - member dues,
and is 1.6 times annual operating expenses for 2002.
Member credit union dues collections were slightly above budgeted expectations during 2002, evidence
that the League continues to provide credit unions with a valuable source of advocacy and credit union
development activities designed to promote, protect and grow the credit union movement within the state of
Georgia. The League’s wholly owned subsidiary, Georgia Credit Union Services, Inc. also posted a profitable
year. The two organizations combined for a net operating profit of $89,246.
The December 31, 2001 financial statements of Georgia Credit Union League and subsidiaries were audited
by the independent accounting firm of Mayer, Hoffman, McCann, PC of Atlanta, Georgia during 2002. The
financial statements were certified to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in all
material respects. An audit of the 2002 financial statements was being conducted at the time this report was
prepared.

G E O RG I A C E N T R A L C R E D I T U N I O N
The year 2002 marked a turning point in the history of Georgia Central, and is distinguished by many critical
decisions made by the company and its Board of Directors. The first decision was daunting – the Board had to
determine the very structure and overall strategic direction of the corporate. Our verdict: to be present for our members by moving forward as a stand-alone institution. The next step was to select a new President/CEO – one who
would carry out the vision of a strong, independent corporate dedicated to member service and innovative development. That decision was a bit easier. We chose Greg Moore.
CHAIR’S
R E P O R T
The year 2002 was one of rebuilding, both for our nation and for Georgia Central Credit Union. It was also my first year with
the corporate, and I think you’ll agree that it was both busy and challenging for Georgia Central and its members. After
consolidation talk ended late in 2001, the credit union community was waiting and watching for our next move. We responded
by hiring new staff, adding products and offering exciting educational opportunities. That’s why, for us, the theme for this year’s
Annual Meeting, “Being Present for Our Members,” is so appropriate. As the year unfolded, Georgia Central moved forward –
modifying, altering, transforming, and just plain making improvements; all along the way, though, demonstrating that our ultimate
purpose remains the same – enhancing the success of our member credit unions.
It didn’t take long for Greg to prove himself as the right choice for Georgia’s credit unions; it was apparent from
the other decisions he and his management team presented to us throughout the year. Within the first six months,
the Board was called on to approve an exciting new Strategic Plan for 2003 as well as initiatives for new products
and major ventures. The Board stands behind the strategic philosophy that corporate credit unions will be stronger
if they work together instead of competing for business, and has voted to support groundbreaking cooperative
efforts. Later in 2002, we had opportunities to vote to reward members for their support in two ways: the implementation of a new Relationship Pricing program and our first-ever Patronage Dividend.
Meeting our members was very high on my list of priorities last year. Shortly after coming to Georgia Central I met many of
you at the Annual Meeting. That’s when I knew moving here was the right decision for me, as the credit unions
welcomed me with open arms, both personally and professionally. As I traveled around the state in ensuing months, I learned a
lot about credit union issues and concerns – specifically how the economic environment was impacting their business and what
Georgia Central could do to help.
The Board is very ambitious about Georgia Central’s success as a corporate credit union, and I think I speak on
behalf of every Director when I say that we could not be more pleased with the invigorated institution and its
achievements over the past year. Most importantly, we are confident in our report that Georgia Central’s strategies
for attaining success, whether old or new, will always focus on benefiting its member credit unions.
With the unfavorable interest rate environment as a pervasive factor in 2002, member-owners turned to their corporate for
advice and assistance with excess liquidity. Many credit unions, so accustomed to high loan-to-share ratios, weren’t sure how to
maximize return on this new liquidity – and every credit union was eager to find the best rates. Fortunately, Georgia Central had
the expertise within its Investment Services department to advise credit union staff about their options. In addition to one-onone consultation, the corporate hosted a high-level Economic Symposium, featuring regional and national economic experts, as
well as Investment Roundtables throughout the state.
PRESIDENT’S
R E P O R T
Sincerely,
GCCU Chair
We were able to help on the product side as well. Investments staff, committed to finding the best possible rates, became
more creative in structuring investment options. During the year, we rolled out several new products and revamped others. A
dedicated product development function was established in 2002 to ensure that Georgia Central brings optimum product
opportunities to credit unions in every segment of our business. The Product Development department, working in conjunction
with management throughout the organization, has already achieved greater efficiencies and has spearheaded our efforts to
enhance service through cooperative ventures.
You will hear a lot more this year about our pursuit of cooperative business opportunities with strategic partners. We’ve
already taken strides down this path by leading the inception of a new, shared-ownership service that would include 24 of the
existing 30 corporate credit unions, and by working with Southeast Corporate to develop a CUSO for shared data processing.
These plans in particular emphasize our awareness that partnerships will be the key to progress, growth and overall success in
the future.
Accomplishing so many of our goals last year has positioned Georgia Central well for 2003, as we turn our attention to
achieving the primary objectives defined by our Board of Directors and in the Strategic Plan. With our members’ support,
Georgia Central will continue to improve products, evaluate opportunities to increase competitiveness, and maintain the level of
service that has been our hallmark over the years. Thank you for making 2002 one of our most successful and
rewarding years ever and for your continued support.

Georgia Central:
The Year in Review
Being Present for Our Members...structuring a
skilled senior management team.
The year 2002 was full of unprecedented challenges and unique opportunities for Georgia
Central Credit Union. Whether it was a statewide tour to introduce our new CEO or rolling out
new products, Georgia Central took every opportunity to demonstrate that we’re present for
our members. We’ve made significant structural changes to our staff, created a new
department, revamped investment offerings and introduced new products. With so much
development underway, the year was fast-paced and energetic, but most of all, rewarding, as
we responded to our members’ needs.
Moving Forward. In order to build momentum after the decision to discontinue merger
plans late in 2001, Georgia Central reorganized its staff. Changes within senior management
included the promotion of Amy Fuller to Vice President/COO and Chuck Marsh to Assistant Vice
President of Accounting and Credit Analysis. Also in the first half of the year, Cory Johnston
was hired as the Assistant Vice President of Investment Services. The Operations area is now
supervised by Angie Snow, who moved from Investments to become the Director of Operations,
and five-year veteran employee Stephanie Jones was promoted to Director of Investment Sales.
Other promotions within management included Tracy Moyer to Assistant Controller and Nakia
Gaylord to Director of Administrative Services.
Being Present for Our
Members...developing new
products and bringing them
to market.
Georgia Central expanded its Marketing/Business Development area this year to include a
dedicated product development function. Dawn Sirras was hired as Director of Product
Development. Her expertise enabled the corporate to launch a thorough due-diligence process
for pass-through products and investigate independent offerings from a range of third-parties. In
2002 Georgia Central also began proactively seeking partnership opportunities with other
corporates for product delivery. Late in the year, Dawn was promoted to Assistant Vice President,
at which time she assumed management of the Information Technology department. The two
areas integrate seamlessly because of the extensive overlap in technological expertise and project
management.
To assist with product development, Georgia Central established an External Product
Council – a group of credit union representatives who meet quarterly to discuss potential new
products and enhancements to the corporate’s existing product line. During the first meeting,
council members discussed ways to improve current products and services. They ultimately
settled on three recommendations for Georgia Central: an increase in the number of transfers
per month for the Premier Account, a push back in cut-off times and an earlier posting of daily
rate information. Georgia Central was able to implement all three recommendations within just
days of the Product Council meeting - and that was just the beginning of our sweeping product
enhancements.
10
Being Present for Our Members...working
directly with our members to meet specific
needs.
Ensuring Member Success. During 2002, Georgia Central began operating
under a new mission statement: “To enhance the success of member credit unions by
offering high-quality, innovative, competitive products and services.” We changed our
mission statement during a mid-year planning session, when the new senior management team got together for their first official strategic discussions. The group believed
that the mission statement should reflect the renewed sense of purpose that was reinvigorating Georgia Central, and that it should communicate what the organization was
striving to achieve as well as what was already accomplished. In addition to the new
mission statement, management also set core business values to guide them in meeting the company’s goals – excellence, integrity, leadership and professionalism.
Georgia Central’s new CEO, Greg Moore, recognized that even more important than
internal planning was input from our member credit unions. He established a goal right
away of meeting as many members as possible to find out what they wanted from their
corporate credit union. Greg’s aspiration led to the Summer Investment Tour where he
and Cory Johnston, AVP, Investment Services, hit the road to meet members and talk to
them about investments. The roundtables proved to be so popular with members that
we offered them again that fall. The face-to-face interaction allowed senior management to learn about members’ business and discover ways to better serve them.
During the meetings, one of the things members asked for was a wider variety of
investment products, and we responded quickly
Delivering New Products. In 2002, new and restructured investment products
were introduced to members, including Floating Rate Certificates, Fixed Callable Share
Certificates, Step-up Share Certificates and an Amortizing Certificate Program (ACP).
We also made changes to several of our existing investment tools to ensure member
value in every rate environment. The popular Fed Funds Floater certificate was
converted to a new type of share account. The changes were designed to make this
investment vehicle even more convenient for credit unions to use. In addition, we
enhanced the Compensating Balance Account by increasing the rate and tying it to the
Advantage Account.
Being Present for Our Members...delivering
professional service.
Being Present for Our Members... hitting the
road to offer insight during uncertain economic
times.
Another important addition to the Investments Department in 2002 was the
Corporate Brokerage Service. Credit unions nationwide hold 35 percent of their
investment funds in Agency Securities, a demand that Georgia Central responded to by
offering a credit union-network solution. Late last year, Georgia Central began offering
marketable securities directly to its member credit unions through a unique program
presented by Credit Union Investment Solutions, Inc. (ISI), a wholly owned subsidiary of
U.S. Central. The Corporate Brokerage Service employs a licensed dual employee, Cory
Johnston, who resides in-house at Georgia Central and can broker the sale of Agency
and Treasury securities.
In addition to new investment options, Georgia Central researched ancillary products to assist members in selecting vendors for services outside the corporate’s core
competencies. Included in this group are MemberStreet, a line of bill-payment services
designed to level the playing field for credit unions seeking to offer this option to their
own members; and eBoardroom, which enables credit unions to save significant
resources by distributing board materials and holding board discussions from remote
locations.
Being Present for Our Members...offering a
dedicated investment team.

G E O RG I A C E N T R A L C R E D I T U N I O N
Georgia Central also began looking for a replacement for the CCUN core system and Open Door
user-interface, which will no longer be available beginning in 2005. Over the course of a year, a
team of product development and information technology staff explored several alternatives.
Ultimately, the team identified a solution that offers technological sophistication, enhanced functionality and a sound business opportunity. The recommended solution was presented to Georgia
Central’s Board of Directors and they approved moving forward with the vendor, OSI, and with the
formation of a joint partnership (CUSO) with other corporates early in 2003. As a result, members
will enjoy numerous benefits, including greater efficiency and a better front-end interface.
Being Present for Our Members...
Giving members a voice through
committed staff.
Offering Financial Insight. In the midst of all the changes, Georgia Central continued to
provide the caliber of educational opportunities that members have come to expect. The
corporate’s first ever Networking and Security Seminar was held in April to provide smaller credit
unions without dedicated IT staff a better understanding of networking issues, especially
surrounding the critical matter of security. Georgia Central brought in expert speakers from
Securadigm, as well as our own Director of Information Technology, Jeff Ashe. Program participants
were so responsive that the session was offered again at the Annual Meeting and at the Georgia
Credit Union Executive Society’s summer meeting.
Georgia Central also offered the 2002 Economic Symposium last fall. This one-day event
provided credit unions with information they needed about the future of the economy for strategic
planning. As a result of the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001, the downturn in the stock
market, and the rising levels of distrust for “big business,” credit unions were facing an unfamiliar
dynamic for tackling strategic and budgetary planning. Through the expert commentary of
Drs. Jeffrey Rosensweig and Don Ratajczak, nationally known authorities on international and local
economics, Georgia Central was able to unravel some of the mystery surrounding future
expectations for credit union executives.
Being Present for Our
Members...educating members on
a range of issues that affect their
business.
Georgia Central provided additional education for members during the Summer Investment Tour.
President/CEO, Greg Moore, and AVP of Investment Services, Cory Johnston, spoke on the
economy, investing and maximizing return on excess liquidity during a series of ten roundtables
held in various locations throughout Georgia. The lingering low interest rate environment left many
executives uncertain as to how they should invest their credit union’s funds. By providing information on investment fundamentals and recommending specific alternatives, Georgia Central was able
to support its members once again through education. The roundtables also proved to be a solid
introduction to investment vehicles for new investors.
Giving Back. After an outstanding year, despite the unfavorable interest rate
environment that hampered the performance of the investment portfolio, Georgia
Central was able to reward members with a Patronage Divided and the introduction of
Relationship Pricing. In December, Georgia Central distributed a year-end patronage
dividend to member credit unions which totaled $460,000. Realizing that credit unions
have many options for financial services, the corporate awarded the dividend to show
appreciation for its member relationships. In addition, Georgia Central developed
Relationship Pricing to reward users of both fee-based and investment services by
discounting their overall cost. Staff devoted a lot of time to planning this program in a
way that ensures credit unions at every asset size will benefit.
Being Present for Our Members...ensuring
members receive the support they need.
Georgia Central supports its members through indirect channels as well. Georgia
Central is a longtime benefactor of the Georgia Credit Union Foundation. Support for this organization is
ongoing, with a budgeted annual financial contribution of $12,000. At the beginning of this year, we took
our charitable contributions to a new level by becoming a sponsor of the National Credit Union
Foundation, and through donating $15,000 to the Georgia Credit Union League’s Credit Union Progress
Fund. The purpose of this fund is to increase awareness of credit union issues among government
officials, media and civic organizations. In addition, Georgia Central sponsors employee fundraising
efforts and helps raise funds for CUPAC by sponsoring golf tournaments. We know our success
depends on the strength of our member-owners, and we’re proud to support initiatives that positively
impact them.
Creating Value. Regardless of the many programs, products and processes we put into place to
support member credit unions last year, Georgia Central is not a successful organization unless our
members find value in their relationship with the company. Each year we attempt to measure whether or
not Georgia Central creates value and meets credit union needs through the Annual Member Survey.
2002 was no exception. Survey respondents were given the opportunity to rank our performance in a
variety of areas – level of satisfaction with organization, Open Door, web site/electronic communication,
Investment Services and member contact. We’re proud to say that ratings increased from the previous
year in almost every category. Members’ overall satisfaction ranked an average of 6.17 on a 1-7 scale.
The survey results speak volumes about members’ perception of how Georgia Central performed in
2002 – much more so than a list of new products or even the financial statements. Member input, along
with the feedback that our relationships generate from credit unions throughout the year, will enable
Georgia Central to continue to be present for its members in 2003 and beyond.
Being Present for Our Members...providing
energetic leadership.

The economic environment for 2002 was a continuation of declining interest rates as a result of
the Federal Reserve lowering Fed Funds rates to stimulate the economy. This was reflected in
Georgia Central’s spread income, which declined from $5.799 million in 2001 to $5.040 million
in 2002. As a percent of net average assets, the spread declined from 55 basis points in 2001
to 43 basis points in 2002.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Georgia Central Credit Union (the Credit Union)
serves as a central credit union for its members.
Membership is limited to credit unions organized
under the provisions of the Financial Institutions
Code of Georgia and the Federal Credit Union Act,
credit unions organized under the credit union
laws of other states, and affiliated associations
and corporations of these credit unions.
Substantially all transactions, except banking
transactions, are with other credit unions and
related organizations, some of which are affiliates
through common membership and directors.
Transactions with members include the borrowing
and lending of money and investing in various
deposit instruments.
Total assets continued to increase in 2002, but not at
the rapid pace experienced in 2001. At the end of
2002, total assets were $1.232 billion compared to
$1.141 billion at the end of 2001. This was a 8.01%
increase. Total credit union deposits grew $63.6 million
to $1.048 billion at December 31, 2002.

$1,140,504,597
$841,623,455
$750,571,463
$822,183,056
Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes in
the accompanying financial statements because
the Credit Union is exempt from federal and state
income taxes under Section 501(C)(14) of the
Internal Revenue Code and Section 48-7-25 of the
Offical Code of Georgia Annotated, respectively.
2. Investments
Investments in U.S. Central Credit Union are stated at cost. Investments classified as available for
sale are carried at estimated market value, with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
retained earnings. Estimated market value is
determined using quoted market prices.
3. Related Parties
Each year, the Credit Union enters into a management contract with the Georgia Credit Union
Affiliates, Inc. and Georgia Credit Union Services.
Under this contract, the Credit Union is provided
with administrative support services and the use
of facilities and related equipment. The Affiliates
is a subsidiary of Cooperative Services, Inc. (33
1/3 percent), the League (33 1/3 percent) and the
Credit Union (33 1/3 percent). On September 23,
1988, the board of directors approved a $125,000
investment which, at the time, represented oneseventh ownership in Cooperative Services, Inc.,
a processing center used initially by Georgia
credit unions.

Retained Earnings
35,000,000
Due to the growth in assets, the primary capital ratio declined from
3.78% at the beginning of the year to 3.69% at year end. When
the ratio drops below 4.00%, Federal regulations require that a
corporate credit union transfer undivided earnings to reserves.
The total reserve transfer for Georgia Central in 2002 was $1.127
million. Total retained earnings grew $2.653 million to $29.6
million at year end 2002.

CHAIR’S
R E P O R T
CUSOs (credit union service organizations) are getting much more attention these days in the credit union press.
CSI is one of the most successful CUSOs in the country, having provided over a decade’s service to the 60 owners
and additional 109 customers in the Georgia credit union community. The fundamental role for CSI is to obtain
leverage in supporting the transaction activities of Georgia credit unions. Key areas of focus include payments
services, network/EFT programs and shared distribution systems. CSI operated profitably again in 2002, boosting
book value per share to $1.68.
I am pleased to report that CSI made major strides in converting its payments infrastructure from being based
on paper documents and magnetic ink to digitized images and Internet retrieval capabilities. The payments world is
moving rapidly in this direction. You will be proud to learn that CSI has partnered with credit unions in the Carolinas
to invest in imaging technologies. A new organization called CU Images was born in 2002 to bring our people and
systems together. This will save money and enhance capabilities. In another area, we can report that the
proliferation of shared branch locations continues across the country. Our shared branch subsidiary, SWIRL,
operated profitably last year and new outlet locations came on stream.
You can be proud of our staff and their accomplishments in 2002. CSI is well positioned to assist credit unions
for many years to come.
We are finally witnessing the long anticipated decline of the paper check as a means of payment at the
consumer level. Same account check writing has begun to fall off. Even with new account acquisition, total item
count declined at CSI in 2002. Debit cards, bill payment and truncation at retail outlets are combining to reduce
volume at CSI’s reader-sorters. We have reacted by moving our attention to the capture, storage and retrieval of
digitized images. In time, it will be these images that are settled between institutions. The paper will be
destroyed early in the process. For us, the transition started by making digitized check copies available to credit
union employees using browser technology. The next step involved making these images directly available to
members, which dramatically reduced operational workload and improved convenience for members. More
recently, we have started offering digitized member statements…a further expense reduction for credit unions.
Additional products using digital technologies are being explored.
EFT volumes continue to grow in CSI’s ATM, debit and credit programs. The fastest growing are the debit
card services. We are watching the national legal battle brewing between retailers and VISA-Mastercard over
who controls the transaction flow at the point of purchase. In the meantime, we expect continued growth in
credit union programs. The network of Georgia shared branch outlets now consists of 54 facilities located
throughout the state. Nationwide there are 968 locations available to participating credit union members. We
performed 1.75 million transactions in Georgia during 2002. I am very proud of the CSI staff and look forward to
serving Georgia credit unions with new innovative services in the future.
CSI and the South Carolina League’s service corporation, Credit Union
Marketing Services (CUMS)*, formed a new jointly-owned company in March
- Credit Union Images, LLC (CU Images). CU Images was formed for the
purpose of providing electronic services via the Internet to PCSI and CSI
credit unions. CU Images offers share draft image retrieval and electronic
statements over the Internet.
Share draft images can be accessed by credit union staff directly over
the Internet and through a credit union’s home banking system by members.
Eighty-five credit unions now use the Internet to look up copies of member
share drafts. By the end of 2002, eleven CSI credit unions were making
images available to their members through home banking. A recent
improvement in check image retrieval is same-day availability of images.
Credit unions can look up images immediately after their share draft files are
received from CSI for posting. Members can also retrieve images right after
their share drafts have been posted.
Electronic statements became available to credit union members
directly from CSI or through the credit union’s home banking system.
Members can receive their statements via an encrypted file that is sent to
their email address or they can come to CSI’s web site and retrieve them.
Eighteen months of eStatements will be available to the members.
Credit union members can now receive CDs - Check Image CDs containing images of all their share drafts cleared in a calendar year. They
can search for images by check number, dollar amount or date including
date ranges. Twelve hundred member CDs were sent out for 2002.
Credit unions began sending their over-the-counter checks to CSI to
be imaged and made available on CD or the Internet. This is particularly
valuable to credit unions that allow members to look up their own share draft
images through home banking. Any share drafts deposited at the credit
union would not be available for image retrieval if they were not sent to CSI
for imaging.
Check printing rebates from Deluxe and Harland continue to provide
credit unions with more than $2.4 million a year in revenue that is used to
offset check processing costs.
One hundred Georgia credit unions use ACH support services from CSI.
These services include receipt, origination and other support of ACH
services. This makes it easier for credit unions to provide ACH services for
their members.
Sincerely,
* CUMS has since changed its name to Palmetto Cooperative Services, Inc. (PCSI).

Financial Institution Data
Match services were developed to
assist credit unions with compliance in child support enforcement
regulations. These file comparison
services made it natural for CSI to
expand in support of OFAC.
OFAC – the Office of Foreign
Assets Control - is a division of the
U.S. Treasury Department that
administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries and their
agents, terrorism sponsoring agencies and organizations, and international narcotics traffickers based
on U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives.
All financial institutions, including credit unions, are required to
block or "freeze" property and payment of any funds transfers or
transactions involving blocked
countries or individuals, and to
report the "blocks" within 10 days
of occurrence.
CSI began offering a matching
service that will allow credit unions
to comply with the OFAC requirements in 2002. CSI can access the
master list of the SDN/Blocked
Persons from the OFAC Web page
and compare it with the records of
participating credit unions.
Another spin-off benefit has
been CSI’s ability to assist many
credit unions with CUNA’s Project
Zip Code. Each of these programs
has made compliance/participation
easier for Georgia’s credit unions.

EFT SUPPORT
SERVICES
Being Present for
Our Members…
After being with one card processor
for more than 25 years, Associated Credit
Union converted to another credit card
processor. It was a major task for the
credit union that required a lot of detail
and attention. Prior to the conversion,
Maureen Bock, director of Card Services
and her staff worked with Executive Vice
President Greg Connor of Associated CU to
analyze the credit union’s needs for card
processing and potential vendors.
CSI experienced continued growth in EFT support services. Working with
a network of business partners, credit unions were assisted in their efforts to
identify business products and services for their members at affordable
rates. Training workshops were sponsored for credit unions to keep them
informed of new programs and opportunities from business partners.
Credit card services had an exceptional year in setting up new credit
and debit card programs for credit unions. Staff assisted six credit unions
in the set-up and launch of debit programs and three credit unions with
credit card programs. Prior to setting up the programs, credit unions were
assisted in setting up financial models, completing necessary paperwork and
providing training. Program launches were often supported with customized
marketing materials developed by Marketing Services.
CSI partnered with the Illinois Credit Union League Service Corporation to
make EZ Launch available to Georgia's credit unions. The program helps
those credit unions interested in selling their credit card portfolios and in setting up new credit card programs. A program that is ideal for credit unions
that do not currently offer credit cards, EZ Launch maintains the program
once it is started.
SHARED DISTRIBUTION
Shared branching continued to grow throughout Georgia in 2002.
In Georgia, outlet locations now out perform stand-alone-centers. There are
more than 50 outlets and four service centers in Georgia. Georgia credit unions operate an additional five outlets in other states.
Transaction volume for shared branching continued its steady, strong growth,
increasing more than 8% over 2001. More than 2.4 million billable transactions were
conducted. Georgia ranks fourth in transaction volume nationwide.
CSI added images of checks deposited at shared service centers to its product
line in 2002. Credit unions can look at images of checks deposited by their members
at SWIRL-owned service centers to help reduce risk and fraud. Before, credit unions
had to request copies of suspicious items from the service centers.
Augusta Metro Federal Credit Union became the first Augusta credit union to join
the nationwide credit union shared branching network offered by CSI.
Ultimately, Associated chose a new
vendor that offered more options and better pricing. Before, during and after the
conversion, Bock worked with the credit
union’s staff to help them through the
process and the documentation.
Following the conversion, Bock was still at
the credit union to assist staff members
with follow-up training. Having the
Affiliates serve as a liaison between the
credit union and the new card processing
company helped to make the conversion a
much smoother process for Associated
Credit Union.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Operations
Cooperative Services, Inc. (the Company) was formed
on December 15, 1988, and began offering services
to credit unions throughout the state of Georgia in
July, 1989. The Company is owned by 60 credit
unions doing business in Georgia and Georgia Central
Credit Union. The Company performs check processing and other services for various Georgia credit
unions, including its owners.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Furniture, equipment and computer software are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the double declining balance method for furniture and equipment and the straight-line method for
computer software over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
which was adopted as of January 1, 1992.
2. Related Parties
Each year, the Company enters into a management
contract with Georgia Credit Union Affiliates and
Georgia Credit Union Services, Inc. Under this contract, the Company is provided with general management and administrative support services and the use
of related equipment. The League, Georgia Central
Credit Union and Cooperative Services, Inc. each have
a one-third ownership interest in the Affiliates.
3. Investment in Subsidiaries
The Company maintains ownership interest in the following companies as of December 31, 2002:
GCUL Acceptance Corp. - 50%
CU Images, LLC - 50%
Georgia Credit Union Affiliates - 33%
SWIRL, LLC - 31%
Credit Union Service Corp. - <20%
The past year proved to be another challenging, but successful year financially for Cooperative Services,
Inc. (CSI). Credit union check clearing volumes - the core processing activity performed by CSI - declined for
the first time since the company’s inception. In response to this trend, CSI has positioned itself for future
growth in electronic payment system processing activities, including Internet delivery of member account statements and storage and retrieval of check images. CSI effected an investment in a new company called CU
Images, LLC in order to enhance service delivery to credit unions in this area. CU Images, LLC is a jointly
owned company with the South Carolina Credit Union League services corporation.
TREASURER’S
R E P O R T
CSI ended the year with total assets of just over $4.3 million. From a liquidity standpoint, financial trends
appear to be solid, with a current ratio of 1.99 to 1 and positive working capital of almost $1.2 million. These
two ratios are an indication that CSI has the liquidity necessary to meet debt obligations that will come due
during 2003.
CSI realized total revenues during 2002 of just over $4.4 million, while managing expenses to just under
$4.1 million, resulting in a net operating margin of $348,275. CSI maintains equity investments in Georgia
Credit Union Affiliates, GCUL Acceptance Corp., Swirl, LLC and CU Images, LLC. CSI recognized net income for
the year of $274,847.
The December 31, 2001 financial statements were audited by the Atlanta, Georgia independent accounting
firm of Mayer, Hoffman McCann, PC. The firm issued an opinion that the financial statements were in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in all material respects. In addition, the data processing
system controls and procedures were examined by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance.
