The resulting lower net interest income was offset by growth and income from AIM, our Asset & Investment Management service, and strong commission income from investment sales. 2014 ROA was 14.3 bps, bypassing budget by 1.1 bp. Total Retained Earnings increased to $5,590,130, resulting in a Retained Earnings ratio of 1.113% , above budget, and more importantly, greater than the October 2016 regulatory requirement of 1.00%. A decrease in operational expenses for 2014, by 4.8%, continues a trend that started with the Treasure State merger in 2012, demonstration of our continued commitment to keep expenses in check. CONTROLLER ACCOUNT SPECIALIST SUPERVISOR AIM | SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST MARKETING MANAGER ACCOUNT SPECIALIST EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT RISK/INTERNAL AUDIT MANAGER AIM | FINANCIAL ANALYST AIM | FINANCIAL ANALYST INTERIM CEO/EVP VP - INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY PRESIDENT/CEO VP of OPERATIONS NW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST ACCOUNT SPECIALIST AIM | SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST ACCOUNT SPECIALIST MEMSERVE, LLC judy kampsula loretta nettleton CARD SERVICES MANAGER VISA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE Volunteers and staff came together in the summer of ‘14 for a strategic planning session to discuss and determine organizational initiatives. Conversations centered on growth, internal and external, viability, and sustainability. What started as talk quickly turned to action, when merger discussions with Missouri Corporate Credit Union/ MCCU commenced following the planning session. The outcome of the pending merger with Missouri Corporate will be a unified regional corporate credit union with an unwavering commitment to service, above all else. The shoe definitely fits. Merger discussions and due diligence filled the fall and winter months of both KCCU and MCCU. The New Year brought with it preliminary approval by both the Kansas Department of Credit Unions/KDCU and the Missouri Division of Credit Unions/MDCU and a week-long merger review at the KCCU Wichita, KS, office, conducted by the National Credit Union Administration/NCUA. Final merger review was heard at the May 2015 NCUA Board meeting. We become one, July 2015, barring any unforeseen challenges or delays. What was years in the making, the conversion to our new member facing online payment processing and account management tool, coreCONNECT, concluded in 2014. The first half of the year, staff dedicated much time to final system development and testing. Beta testing, member training and the actual conversion occurred in late summer and early fall. By month-end September, we had delivered on a promise to provide members with enhanced security, biometric authentication through fingerprint scan, and enhanced efficiency via a single sign-on platform. System improvements and enhancements continue as we integrate additional reporting and payment processing options to coreCONNECT. Safeguarding your transactions behind this heightened security measure couldn’t come at a more critical time as online and payment fraud continues to escalate. Member acceptance of the new system has been overwhelming and we appreciate your support during this process, and going forward. While the front-end initiative was underway, Kansas Corporate was also working behind the scenes to convert our investment accounting to TPG accounting software. Months of testing were required to complete the process that provides a more controlled environment and timelier reporting, with greater consistency of accounting results. By year-end 2014, TPG had become our investment accounting provider. AIM, our Asset & Investment Management service, continued to expand its’ client base and has program subscribers in four states - KS, NE, MT and now, KY. Program users’ benefit from asset/liability management services and training, assistance in regulatory compliance, and portfolio structuring as AIM Financial Analysts serve as dual employees for Kansas Corporate and registered representatives of our credit union service organization (CUSO) CU Investment Solutions, LLC/ISI. Through this relationship, AIM staff is able to assist members with marketable securities purchases. page 3 2014 Annual Report 2014 Annual Report page 4 Chairman & Presidents’ Report This same staff works with credit unions to offer the services of yet another of our CUSOs, Primary Financial, LLC, more commonly knows as SimpliCD. Kansas Corporate had our best SimpliCD year ever in 2014, facilitating bank and S&L CD purchases for credit unions. On the flip side, SimpliCD also works with credit unions to issue CDs when liquidity is tight. In 2014, KCCU also had our strongest year of credit union issuance as we worked with our credit union members and SimpliCD to get those offerings placed. CU Business Group, LLC/CUBG, our third CUSO, continued their unparalleled support of credit union business service needs across the country. In 2014, CUBG went bi-coastal hosting two National Conferences, one in Portland, OR, and one near Washington D.C. Kansas Corporate and CUBG recently developed a local participation network to allow KCCU members to participate loans amongst themselves. Twenty-three Kansas Corporate members and over 450 credit unions, nationwide, utilize CUBG while many others continue to seek their counsel and expert training on all matters, business services. We constantly and consistently strive to be your strategic partner by providing exceptional products and unrivaled service. And although your board representation may change, we never lose sight of our goals. Your volunteers live and breathe the cooperative spirit and we always will. Our sincere thanks for your continued support. Treasurer’s Report Our commitment to safeguarding your capital investment is evidenced by the countless hours dedicated to strengthening Kansas Corporate, making sure we meet regulatory mandates while providing credit unions the financial services they need to grow their business. The financial achievements of 2014 are proof positive of this dedication. KCCU budgeted a year-end Retained Earnings (RE) ratio of 1.043%, which was bypassed in September, three months earlier than projected. By December 2014, Kansas Corporate had achieved a RE ratio of 1.113% versus the 2013 RE ratio of 0.861%. Regulatory mandate dictates reaching a 1.00% minimum RE ratio by October 2016, a requirement we met mid-year 2014. This continued improvement of our RE ratio has us well positioned to meet the next requirement of 2.00% in October 2020. Kansas Corporate’s Leverage ratio was 7.26% at year-end, also above the 4.00% regulatory requirement. Respectfully Submitted, Net Income (NI) ended 2014 at $719,579, exceeding budget by 1.3%. August NI was bolstered by investment gains of $26,251 recognized from the sale of marketable securities. Tom KJAR Board Chairman 2014 Total Assets were $435,904,858, down $40,356,449 from year-end 2013. Daily Average Net Assets, which is used in the calculation of KCCU’s capital ratios, were $502.2M, $34.1M less than budget. Kansas Corporate facilitated off-balance sheet investments for members and Asset & Investment Management (AIM) clients to the tune of $677,445,164 at yearend 2014 which, when combined with on-balance sheet investments, equates to a balance sheet of over $1.1B. Total Retained Earnings increased to $5,590,130, an increase of $719,579. 2014 Return on Assets (ROA) was 14.3 basis points above budget of 13.2 bps. Kent GLEASON Interim CEO/EVP The 2014 Coverage ratio, budgeted at 70.8%, reached 74.1% by year-end due to strong commission revenue and higher than budgeted fee income and slightly lower operating expenses. 2014 operating expenses decreased from 2013 levels by $17,910. Operating expenses have decreased each year since the merger with Treasure State Corporate and 2014 expenses were $185,592 lower than 2012 expenses. Even though KCCU projected a slight decrease in non-interest income of $59,247 or 2.2% due to an anticipated decrease in commission revenue, KCCU increased non-interest income from 2013 levels by $66,495 or 2.5%. SimpliCD sales outperformed projections, and this, coupled with an increase in new AIM clients as well as increases in other page 5 2014 Annual Report 2014 Annual Report page 6 Treasurer’s Report service income and currency and coin services, pushed KCCU non-interest income beyond expectations. In October 2014, Kansas Corporate returned $7,954,345 in Membership Capital Shares to members, marking the end of the required 3-year notice period. Returning those funds safely to members to invest or lend as they determine with no expected negative impact on our earnings, ALM or any other aspect of our operations, was a triumph for all. Capitalizing on the financial know-how of staff, management, and volunteers helps KCCU safeguard the financial security we’ve all worked so diligently to achieve. Maintaining this financial strength is key to the success of Kansas Corporate and our member credit unions. We will continue our efforts in the pursuit of financial strength, stability and growth. Respectfully Submitted, Mark KOLARIK Secretary/Treasurer Asset/Liability Committee Report The Kansas Corporate Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is charged with the oversight of Kansas Corporate’s financial standing which must at all times comply with the many stringent regulatory requirement before us. A balancing act, indeed, but one the Committee successfully continues to accomplish. The Committee, comprised of Kansas Corporate management, staff, and volunteers, monitors economic trends, our interest rate risk position, liquidity position, and investment product development and usage, and recommends revisions to asset/liability management and investment policies, as needed. Financial achievements were many this past year, especially considering the extended low-interest rate and heightened regulatory environment we’re all currently facing. Retained Earnings continue to grow and we are ahead of the game on meeting regulatory minimum requirements as we bypassed the October 2016 1.00 % Retained Earnings ratio requirement mid-year, and ended 2014 with a Retained Earnings ratio of 1.113%. Return on Assets ended the year above budget at 14.3 basis points and our Coverage Ratio was above budget, also, at 74.1%. Our Net Economic Value (NEV) continues to exceed the required minimum NEV ratio and the maximum change limitation in the +300 rate shock scenarios. Kansas Corporate’s financial services continued to shine in 2014, with sustained growth and service to our membership. SimpliCD, one of Kansas Corporate’s most successful investment product offerings, served members on both sides of the liquidity equation - investing and issuing. SimpliCD outstanding balances bypassed the $300M mark for the first time ever in our history in September, and they continue to grow still today, indicating that SimpliCD remains a relevant investment tool for credit unions. SimpliCD issuance, an emerging trend for credit unions in need of a secondary source of liquidity, that helps procure deposits when liquidity is tight, also experienced significant growth last year. November 2014 issuance totals reached almost $58M, up from $26.5M in 2013. We encourage participation in the program through the line-of-credit renewal process and provide the necessary support and guidance to help credit unions create offerings for quick and complete sell. CU Investment Solutions, Inc. (ISI) provides broker/dealer services to credit unions through our Asset & Investment Management (AIM) staff that serve as ISI Registered Representatives and although tightened liquidity has impacted sales, credit unions with funds to invest find this service to be of great benefit. ISI sales are strongest early in the year and taper as summer fades away, along with credit union liquidity. 72 credit unions partner with Kansas Corporate for broker/dealer services through ISI. 206 trades were completed in 2014 with a par value of $183.3M. page 7 2014 Annual Report 2014 Annual Report page 8 Asset/Liability Committee Report Credit Committee Report By year-end 2014, AIM clients numbered 58 with $4.4B in assets under management. AIM provides a comprehensive line of asset/liability services to credit unions in four states - Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, and Kentucky. Clients work with licensed financial analysts to develop their ALM programs and KCCU analysts serve as an extension of the credit union, as if they are on-staff but simply off-site. The Kansas Corporate Credit Committee is tasked with ensuring lending activity complies with regulatory and policy standards, that member resources are protected through effective credit worthiness monitoring, and that member liquidity needs are being met, securely and efficiently. The Committee, Kansas Corporate loan officers and staff met five times in 2014 to achieve these measures. As is the case most years, including this past one, summer and fall meetings tend to focus more on managing our liquidity position than at any other time, due to the aforementioned cyclical decrease in member liquidity. Kansas Corporate has built a trusted relationship with the Federal Home Loan Bank Topeka (FHLB) who funds our Line-ofCredit needs when credit union settlement and increased borrowing positions demand. 2013 member borrowings topped out in August at $16.1M. Average daily loan balances in 2014, reached their high, $22.5M, in October. Actions taken to weather this low liquidity time included the sale of $23.5M in marketable securities the first part of August, which resulted in a gain of $26,251, decreasing the amount of reverse repurchase transactions from $50M to $30M, and borrowing from the FHLB during late July and early August. In addition to performing all required reviews and credit union analysis which includes the annual reviews of all outstanding lines of credit (LOCs), which stood at 178 lines - $390,401,991 at year-end 2014, as well as semi-annual reviews of all advised LOCs, the Committee recommends liquidity policy revisions to the Board when necessary. Suggested lending policy improvements identified during the Internal Audit of the Lending Program, performed in June 2014 by the KCCU Risk/Internal Audit Manager, were brought before the Committee and forwarded to the Board for consideration. After thorough review, the board approved the inclusion of SimpliCD investments as eligible collateral for asset-backed loans. Kansas Corporate/Missouri Corporate merger talks entered the ALCO arena in the fall of 2014. Due diligence started in earnest with KCCU management visiting Missouri Corporate Credit Union in October and ALCO Committee merger discussions centered on review of the Missouri Corporate investment portfolio and how it, when combined with Kansas Corporate’s portfolio, would meet regulatory requirements and credit criteria. Monthly, ALCO members review and discuss the asset/liability implications of the merger. The Committee and Kansas Corporate staff dedicate much time to ensure members’ investments are safe, that we can meet member liquidity demand, and that we provide the best possible return. We appreciate your continued support as we focus on energies on keeping your trust and your business. Respectfully Submitted, Issuing certificates through the SimpliCD program continues to serve as a secondary source of liquidity for member credit unions. SimpliCD and KCCU streamline the process with a 1-page agreement and assistance in designing the offering for maximum results, making it an easy and competitive liquidity option for members, independent of their LOC. Liquidity at Kansas Corporate ebbs and flows, in a similar pattern from year to year. Peaking in late spring, thinning during the summer and fall, and surging again late in the year. And although there are slight variations or steeper slopes on occasion, this is the norm. Average daily loan balances reached their high in October 2014, at $22.5M, hit the low in March, at $4.7M, and like last year, liquidity decreased in December, a new phenomenon as the year typically ends with liquidity increasing. A decrease in liquidity correlates to an increase in member borrowing activity, indicative of continued loan growth for many KCCU members. Average overnight deposits peaked in March, the lowest average daily loan balance month, at $621M, and hit their low in July and September at $347M. Kent GLEASON, Interim CEO Committee Chair The Committee welcomed Gerry Veis as a new member in 2014, adding representation from Montana, as a seasoned volunteer assumed a board position late in the year. And although the faces change from time to time, the dedication of the Committee doesn’t. Through the continued monitoring of the credit union industry, liquidity page 9 2014 Annual Report 2014 Annual Report page 10 Credit Committee Report trends, and market offerings, the Committee seeks to keep our program relevant, effective and operating within regulator and policy requirements. Together, with the support of staff and our members, the Credit Committee works toward that end. Supervisory Committee Report The Supervisory Committee serves to ensure the safety and soundness of Kansas Corporate by assisting the Board of Director’s in fulfilling its’ fiduciary responsibilities relating to the accounting and reporting practices of the corporate. The Committee monitors Kansas Corporate’s performance through scrutiny and oversight of all internal and external regulatory audits, exams and risk assessments. We appreciate the opportunity to be your liquidity partner. Initiatives that came before the Committee in 2014 included... • ACH Risk Assessment - KCCU Risk/Internal Audit Manager • Annual Vault Cash Audits - KCCU Controller • Borrowing & Liquidity Management Internal Audit - KCCU Risk/Internal Audit Manager • Annual Financial Audit - J. Tenbrink & Associates • Security Program Board Report - KCCU VP/Information & Technology • IT Security Audit Report - Trace Security • Investment Internal Audit - KCCU Risk/Internal Audit Manager • Lending Internal Audit - KCCU Risk/Internal Audit Manager • BSA & ACH Audit - J.

The Security Program Board Report will be provided biannually to the Supervisory Committee and the Board of Director’s. Mid-year, the Committee welcomed three new members, two Montanans - Teri Krakowka of Southwest Montana Community Federal Credit Union and Steve Grooms of 1st Liberty Federal Credit Union - and one Wichitan Jane Hammil of Wichita Federal Credit Union - increasing the Committee to four, after one committee member accepted a board appointment, and began work with KCCU’s new Risk/Internal Audit Manager. Work continued in the 2Q/3Q of 2014 that included approving the internal audit plan for 2015, requesting proposals for a 2015 IT Risk Assessment partner, review of insurance coverages and premiums, and participation in a program review by Western Union Business Services (WUBS) to assess our policies, procedures, and controls in regard to WUBS products and services used by KCCU. Results of the review indicated no shortcomings, as expected. J. Tenbrink & Associates (JTA) conducted their audit of the Kansas Corporate financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2014, noting no material exceptions. The 2014 audit was the third of a five-year engagement with JTA. Upon review of the findings of the independent auditors, accountants, and regulators, the Committee believes the audits and examinations provide a reasonable basis to conclude the financial statements of Kansas Corporate, for the period ended December 31, 2014, are fairly presented and that KCCU is in compliance with all credit union regulations. Respectfully Submitted, Dave COLLINS Committee Chairman page 11 2014 Annual Report 2014 Annual Report page 12 Management Statements Management Statements STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
