Year In Review

On behalf of my fellow Directors, I wouldlike to welcome you to the 73rd AnnualMeeting for WGE Federal Credit Union. AsBoard chairman, it is my distinct privilege toreport that 2008 was a progressive and suc-cessful year for your Credit Union.

The most important message I want toshare with our members tonight is thatWGE is safe and sound. While it continuesto grow, your Credit Union remains clear ofthe financial difficulties that are plaguingmany other financial institutions. Let meoffer the following examples of what I mean.

WGE is financially safe and sound. Atyear-end 2008, WGE had a capital reservelevel of over 13%. The National CreditUnion Administration (NCUA), our federalregulator, considers a credit union to be well-capitalized if their reserve level is 7%. As youcan see, WGE’s reserves are almost doublethe amount NCUA looks for.

In addition to being extremely well-capi-talized, WGE is profitable; your credit unionearned a Return on Assets (ROA) of .55%,almost right on target with its Budget esti-mate of .59%. Coming that close to yourBudget is difficult under normal circum-stances; to do it in a year that was so hectic

makes it even better.As a final example of its financial

strength, WGE recently began to offer Ex-cess Share Insurance coverage on all fundsdeposited to WGE. This Excess Share In-surance means deposits at WGE are coveredup to $500,000 per member, whereas mostinstitutions only insure $250,000. Again, be-cause of our financial strength, we can offeradditional safety and convenience to ourmembers. There is no otherinstitution that is safer to keep yourmoney in than WGE!

In closing, I want to re-state WGE’scommitment to moving forward to serveour membership. Our intention is to beYOUR primary financial services provider,offering the products and services thatgive you financial benefit.Remember, WGE is safeand sound and growing…for you!

Over the last half of 2008, conditions withinthe financial services markets deteriorated withamazing speed and frightening scope. The af-fects of the downturn were felt from local mar-kets to global markets; from Wall Street toMain Street. Everywhere you turned, the badnews was overwhelming as a tidal wave.

Yet against this backdrop of bank failures,Wall Street greed, and plummeting stockprices, your Credit Union sailed on; providingmembers a safe harbor for their financialneeds. As WGE grew, it did so without expe-riencing the many financial ailments thatplagued so many financial institutions! WGEis safe and sound… and growing!

The source of WGE’s financial strengthlies with its capital base, built over years ofstrong earnings. At over 13% of assets, it is al-most twice the level NCUA considers well-capitalized. Our current capital strategy is tomaintain our current levels, while reinvestingthe majority of our earnings into our opera-tions. Still, we are in the enviable position ofhaving plenty for “that rainy day”.

Presented next is a financial snapshot ofWGE. It reflects robust financial perform-ance as well as steady growth. Consider thefollowing statistics from year-end 2008:

Assets grew to $126,022,152, an increaseof 9.51% from the previous year.Total deposits advanced to $105,516,735,up 6.35% from year-end 2007.Loans Outstanding also grew, advancing4.84% to $75,423,683.WGE achieved a strong ROA of .55%,earning $662,163 over the year.WGE closed $31,421,161 in loans ofall types during the year. Dividends paid on member depositstotaled $2,348,068.WGE’s membership exceeded20,000 members and offeredmembership opportunities tomore than 300 Muncie-areaemployee groups.

In closing, I would like tore-state that WGE isfinancially safe andsound, and offersmembers a solidchoice forfinancialproducts andservices.

The role of the Supervisory Committee withinthe Credit Union is to insure the financialrecords of the organization are in order andcomply with Federal Regulations.

In addition to the Supervisory Committee’soperational insight, it also employs the account-ing firm of Whitinger & Company LLC to per-form the annual audit as required by theNational Credit Union Administration(NCUA), our federal regulator.

In 2008, Whitinger’s Annual Audit andtheir quarterly reviews found that all of WGE’saccounts and records were in order and certi-fied that the financial statement s accurately re-flected the Credit Union’s financial position.

The Supervisory Committee also overseesthe results of NCUA’s Annual Examination.Because of WGE’s strong financial position,there was no comprehensive NCUA Exam per-formed during the calendar year of 2008. How-ever, in a scaled-down examination performedin the fourth quarter, it was determined thatWGE met operating expectations and qualifiedfor federal share insurance coverage.

The growth and success of WGE can be attributed to the many ded-icated volunteers that have served over the years. WGE’s longestserving volunteer was William (Bill) H. Yohler. Bill became a volun-teer in 1944 and served for 57 years. In addition to Bill’s dedicationto the credit union, he was also active as a civic and social volunteer.

After Bill’s death in September 2001, WGE established a schol-arship in his name. The goal of the scholarship is to recognize a stu-dent who shows concern for others through their own volunteerefforts. In 2008, the scholarship was increased to $4,000 payable in$1,000 increments over four years.

WGE Federal Credit Union has awarded the 2008 William H.Yohler Memorial Scholarship to Kristi Kay Murray.

Kristi attends Cowan High School. She is the daughter of Adamand Teresa Murray. Kristi is planning on attending Ball State Uni-versity. She wants to pursue a degree in Graphic Arts Management.

Kristi’s list of accomplishmentsincludes membership in the NationalHonor Society, Key Club, SpanishClub, Varsity and JV Basketball, andCampus Life/Youth for Christ.

“Steady as She Goes…”Many of you are familiar with the phrase

“Steady as she goes…” It means stay thecourse, and continue what you’ve beendoing because it’s working well. It’s good ad-vice for WGE FCU; our current approachto business is working well. We’re financiallysafe and sound, and at the same time, grow-ing. Let me share some examples.

From a financial perspective, WGE isin excellent financial shape. Our capital levelis over 13% of Total Assets; almost twice thelevel NCUA has defined as being “well-capi-talized”. In addition, our earnings for 2008were strong, achieving a Return on Assets(ROA) of .55%. In addition, we paid morethan $2.3 million dollars in dividends onmember deposits. So financially, we’re verysound.

When you talk about safe, there isn’t aninstitution in town that offers more safetythan WGE. In addition to the federal shareinsurance of $250,000 provided throughNCUA, we have met the qualifications tooffer an additional $250,000 in Excess ShareInsurance. That means our members de-posits are insured for a total of $500,000 per

account! Providing this extra coverage isonly possible because of our superior finan-cial well-being.

In addition to being safe and sound,WGE is growing! This is important becausethe organization that does not grow will notsurvive. Our Total Assets grew 9.51% to$126,022,152; Deposits grew 6.35% to$105,516,735; and Loans Outstanding grew4.84% to $75,423,683. We made more than$31,400,000in loans to members in 2008. Thismeans our members are countingon WGE more and more.

So, “steady as she goes” foryour Credit Union! We’re safe,sound and growing! Be sure to bepart of the excitement!
