Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying financial statements of Kindred Credit Union Limited are the responsibility of Management and have been approved by the Board of Directors.
The financial statements have been prepared by Management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. When required, Management has used reasonable and informed judgments and estimates in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly and accurately in all material respects.
To meet its responsibility for the integrity and fairness of the financial statements, Management has designed and maintains accounting processes and systems of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance regarding the accuracy of financial records and to establish reliable data for the preparation of financial statements, and the necessary safeguarding of Credit Union assets.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that Management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility through its regular review of financial results and operations, and through the Board appointed Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management and external auditors to discuss internal controls over the financial reporting process, matters arising from periodic audits, and other financial reporting issues. The Audit and Risk Committee regularly reports its findings to the Board for consideration.
The financial statements have been audited on behalf of the membership by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the external auditors, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has full and free access to the Audit and Risk Committee. The Auditor’s Report outlines the nature of their audit and expresses their opinion on the financial statements of the Credit Union.

Audit and Risk Committee Report
The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. It does this by reviewing the financial information and reporting processes, including the risks and controls related to those processes which management and the Board have established. The committee is comprised of four directors and has a mandate that includes all of the duties specified for an audit committee in the Credit Union and Caisses Populaires Act, 1994 (The Act) and the associated regulations.
The Audit and Risk Committee met five times during 2016 to complete its responsibilities. Key activities included:
• Review the financial statements and results of the year end audit with the external auditor; • Review the performance of the external auditor and their proposed engagement letter;• Ensure that regulatory filings were submitted on time;• Review the credit union’s policies, procedures, and controls for legislative compliance;• Review the disaster recovery and business continuity plans;• Monitor the adherence of Directors, Officers, and employees with the credit union’s policies
and code of conduct;• Review management’s identification of the credit union’s significant risks and ensure that
enterprise risk management processes are in place to measure, monitor, manage and mitigate them;
• Approve the annual internal audit plan and review internal audit activities;• Complete a self-assessment on the effectiveness of the Committee and take the necessary
steps to ensure effectiveness.
Based on its findings, the Audit and Risk Committee provides reports and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors or senior management, as appropriate. These recommendations are reviewed to ensure they are considered and appropriate action taken.
The Audit and Risk Committee is pleased to report to the members of Kindred Credit Union that, pursuant to The Act and its regulations, it continues to meet the requirements of its mandate. The committee receives full cooperation and support from management, thus enabling it to play an effective role in improving the quality of financial reporting to its members, and enhancing the overall control environment at Kindred.
In addition, there are no other matters that the Audit and Risk Committee believes should be reported to the members, nor are there any further matters that are required to be disclosed pursuant to The Act or its regulations.
Respectfully submitted,

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of
Kindred Credit Union Limited
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kindred Credit Union Limited, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2016 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to 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. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’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 to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kindred Credit Union Limited as at December 31, 2016 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

1 Reporting entity
Kindred Credit Union Limited is incorporated under the Credit Union and Caisses Populaires Act 1994 (“The
Act”) of Ontario and is a member of Central 1 Credit Union Limited (Central 1). The Credit Union was
formerly known as Mennonite Savings and Credit Union (Ontario) Limited. The Credit Union officially
changed its name to become known as Kindred Credit Union Limited on July 4, 2016. The Credit Union
operates as one operating segment in the loans and deposit taking industry in Ontario. Products and
services offered to its members include mortgages, personal, commercial and agricultural loans, chequing
and savings accounts, term deposits, RRSPs, RRIFs, automated banking machines, debit and credit cards
and internet banking. The Credit Union head office is located at 1265 Strasburg Rd., Kitchener, Ontario.
The financial statements have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2017.
2 Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB).
These financial statements were prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of available for sale financial assets and derivative financial instruments measured at fair value.
The financial statements’ values are presented in Canadian dollars ($) which is the functional and
presentation currency of the Credit Union.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the
Credit Union’s accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the financial
statements in the period the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions
are appropriate and that the Credit Union’s financial statements therefore present its financial position and
performance fairly.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are the fair value of
financial instruments and the member loan loss provisions. These areas are further disclosed in note 4.
3 Significant accounting policies
a) Allowance for impaired loans
The Credit Union maintains allowances for doubtful loans that reduce the carrying value of loans
identified as impaired to their estimated realizable amounts. A loan is considered impaired if there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial
recognition of the loan and that event or events has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(2)
loan that can be reliably estimated. The criteria that the Credit Union uses to determine that there is
objective evidence of an impairment include delinquency in contractual payments of principal or
interest, financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, breach of loan covenants or conditions,
initiation of bankruptcy proceedings or deterioration in the value of collateral. Estimated realizable
amounts are determined by estimating the fair value of security underlying the loans, and by
discounting the expected future cash flows at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, loans are grouped on the basis of similar
credit risk characteristics (on the basis of the Credit Union’s grading process that considers
characteristics of each loan portfolio, industry, past-due status, historical write-off experience and
other relevant factors). These characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for
groups of such loans by being indicative of the member’s ability to pay all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loans being evaluated.
Future cash flows in a group of loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on
the basis of the contractual cash flows of the loans in the Credit Union and historical loss experience for
loans with similar credit risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of
current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on
which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical
period that do not currently exist.
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the
Credit Union to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for doubtful loans. Such
loans are written off after all the appropriate approvals have been completed and the amount of the loss
has been determined.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the provision for loan losses.
b) Interest income and expense
Interest income and expense is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income for loans and
receivables and other financial liabilities using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or
liability and allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest
rate is the rate that exactly discounts the expected future cash payments or receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument to its fair value at inception. The application of this method
has the effect of recognizing interest income and expense on the instrument in proportion to the
amount outstanding over the period to maturity or repayment.
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(3)
In calculating the effective interest, the Credit Union estimates cash flows (using projections based on
its experience of members' behaviour) considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments
but excluding future credit losses. Fees, including those for early redemptions, are included in the
calculation to the extent that they can be measured and in the opinion of management, are considered
to be significant, to the effective interest rate. Where it is not possible or practical to otherwise estimate
reliably the cash flows or the expected life of a financial instrument, effective interest is calculated using
the payments or receipts specified in the contract, and the full contractual term.
Interest income on impaired loans continues to be recorded until the loan is determined to be
uncollectible and is written off.
c) Fees
Unless included in the effective interest calculation, fees are recognized on an accrual basis as the
service is provided and are reported in the statement of comprehensive income as other revenue.
d) Financial assets and liabilities
In accordance with IAS 39, all financial assets and liabilities including derivative financial instruments
are recognized in the statement of financial position and measured in accordance with their assigned
category.
Under this standard, all financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial
recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has
been classified as fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available for sale or financial
liabilities. Management determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities at initial
recognition and the classifications made for each financial instrument are indicated in the notes. A
description of the categories follows:
(i) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset or liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing in the short-term.
Derivatives are also included in this category unless they are designated as hedges. The Credit
Union uses derivatives in the form of interest rate swaps to manage risks related to interest rate
fluctuations and index linked purchase option agreements to offset the exposure to various
indices associated with index linked deposits. Transaction costs are expensed in the statement of
comprehensive income. All derivatives that have been classified as fair value through profit or
loss are included on the statement of financial position as derivative financial instrument assets
and liabilities. Gains and losses on re-measurement to fair value of derivatives are included in
loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments.
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(4)
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable repayment
dates, usually with interest, that are not debt securities or instruments classified as fair value
through profit or loss on initial recognition. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair
value plus/minus, where appropriate, direct and incremental transaction costs. They are
subsequently valued at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Cash, loans to
members, liquidity reserve deposits, and loans to Mennonite Economic Development Associates
of Canada (MEDA) are classified as loans and receivables.
(iii) Available for sale
Available for sale assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for
sale or are not categorized into any of the other categories described above. They are initially
recognized at fair value including, where appropriate, direct and incremental transaction costs.
They are subsequently held at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value
being recognized in other comprehensive income.
Equity instruments including shares in Central 1, Oikocredit and CUCO Cooperative
Association, and the investment in Qtrade Canada Inc. are classified as available for sale.
Investments classified as available for sale which do not have a quoted market price in an active
market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost.
Objective evidence of impairment exists if there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the
fair value of the investment below its cost or if there is a significant adverse change in the market,
economic or legal investment in which the issuer operates. In the case of impairment, the
impairment loss is reported as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment and recognized
in the statement of comprehensive income.
(iv) Other liabilities
Other liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities that are initially recognized at fair value
and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Members’
deposits, accrued interest payable, accounts payable and accrued charges, demand loan,
mortgage securitization liabilities, and liabilities qualifying as regulatory capital (investment,
owner and membership shares) are classified as other liabilities.
e) Comprehensive income
IAS 1 requires that a complete set of financial statements include a statement of other comprehensive
income (OCI). For the Credit Union, OCI represents the change in members’ equity during the year that
is attributable to unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as available for sale and
remeasurements of the present value of the post-employment obligation.
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(5)
Consequently, the changes in these items during the year are recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income, while the cumulative changes in OCI are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI), net of taxes, which is presented as part of members’ equity on the
statement of financial position.
f) Sale of receivables
The Credit Union periodically sells assets, such as agricultural loans, to other financial institutions to
manage its portfolio diversification risk. These transactions satisfy the requirements for derecognition
under IFRS and accordingly the agricultural loans sold are removed from the statement of financial
position. In these instances the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the assets and
substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the assets are transferred to the purchasing
institution. A nominal administration fee, which is recorded as income when received, is paid to the
Credit Union each month.
g) Mortgage securitizations
As part of an ongoing program to manage liquidity, capital and interest rate risk, the Credit Union enters
into mortgage securitization transactions. These transactions allow for the packaging of insured
mortgage loan receivables into mortgage backed securities (MBS) and for the subsequent sale of these
MBS to unrelated third parties.
Securitization transactions are derecognized only when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows
from these assets have ceased to exist or substantially all the risks and rewards of the loans have been
transferred. If the criteria for derecognition has not been met, the securitization is reflected as a
financing transaction and the related liability is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Costs related to the issuance of MBS are amortized over the life of the issue and are included in interest
expense.
h) Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on
the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the assets as follows:
Assets Useful life
Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements Term of lease Furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment 3-10 years
Land is not subject to amortization and is carried at cost.
Impairment reviews are performed when there are indicators that the net recoverable amount of an
asset may be less than its carrying value. The net recoverable amount is determined as the higher of an
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(6)
asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income when there is objective evidence that a loss event has occurred which has
impaired future cash flows of an asset. In the event that the value of previously impaired assets recovers,
the previously recognized impairment loss is recovered in the statement of comprehensive income at
that time.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no further economic benefits
are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the
statement of comprehensive income in the period the asset is derecognized.
i) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are contracts that require or provide the opportunity to exchange
cash flows or payments determined by applying certain rates, indices or changes therein to notional
contract amounts. The Credit Union uses derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate
swaps, in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. The Credit Union's policy is not to utilize
derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value and are reported in the statement of financial
position as derivative financial instrument assets, where they have a positive fair value, and as
derivative financial instrument liabilities, where they have a negative fair value. Changes in the fair
value of the derivative instruments are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as net
unrealized loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments. The Credit Union does not apply hedge
accounting on its derivative portfolio.
j) Member entitlements
Member shares, owner shares and investment shares have certain characteristics which require them
to be classified as liabilities on the statement of financial position. Accordingly, any dividends
authorized on these shares are recorded as interest expense.
k) Foreign currency
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange
rates in effect at the statement of financial position date. Revenues and expenses are translated at
rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in other
revenue in the statement of comprehensive income.
l) Income taxes
The Credit Union uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or
substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(7)
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of
enactment or substantive enactment.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that realization is considered more likely than
not.
m) Employee benefit plan
The Credit Union accrues its obligations under the post-retirement benefit plan and the related costs
and has adopted the following policies:
• The cost of the benefits earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected
benefit method pro-rated on service and management’s best estimate of expected future
costs, discount rate and retirement ages of employees;
• The average remaining service period of the active employees covered by the benefit plan is
10.0 years.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions
are recorded in other comprehensive income with an immediate allocation to retained earnings. Past-
service costs are recognized immediately in income.
n) Leases
The Credit Union leases commercial property. The Credit Union, as a lessee, has determined, based on
an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it does not obtain any of the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and therefore accounts for them as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged as an expense in the statement of
comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
o) Standards not yet effective
Accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective are listed below. The Credit Union
will undertake a thorough assessment of the new requirements to determine the implications of these
standards.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, first issued in November 2009 with final version released in
July 2014 by the IASB, brings together the classification and measurement, impairment and
hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 introduces a
principles-based approach to the classification of financial assets based on an entity’s business
model and the nature of the cash flows of the asset. All financial assets, including hybrid
contracts, are measured at fair value through profit or loss, fair value through OCI or amortized
cost. For financial liabilities, IFRS 9 includes the requirements for classification and
measurement previously included in IAS 39. IFRS 9 also introduces an expected loss
impairment model for all financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss. The model has
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(8)
three stages: (1) on initial recognition, 12-month expected credit losses are recognized in profit
or loss and a loss allowance is established; (2) if credit risk increases significantly and the
resulting credit risk is not considered to be low, full lifetime expected credit losses are
recognized; and (3) when a financial asset is considered credit-impaired, interest revenue is
calculated based on the carrying amount of the asset, net of the loss allowance, rather than its
gross carrying amount. Finally, IFRS 9 introduces a new hedge accounting model that aligns
the accounting for hedge relationships more closely with an entity’s risk management activities.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued in May 2014, which establishes
principles for reporting about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash
flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The standard provides a single,
principles based five-step model for revenue recognition to be applied to all contracts with
customers. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
IFRS 16, Leases was issued in January 2016, which will replace IAS 17, Leases. The new
standard will be mandatorily effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
Earlier application is permitted. Under the new standard, all leases will be on the balance
sheet of lessees except those that meet limited exception criteria. As the Credit Union has
significant contractual obligations in the form of operating leases (note 16) under the existing
standard, there will be a material increase to both assets and liabilities upon adoption of the
new standard and material changes to the timing of recognition of expenses associated with the
lease arrangements.
4 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Credit Union makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in the statement
of comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or in the period
of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Credit Union determines the fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market,
using valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including
discount rates, fair value multipliers and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value
estimates cannot always be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, may
not be capable of being realized immediately.

The methods and assumptions applied, and the valuation techniques used, for financial instruments that are
not quoted in an active market are disclosed in note 20.
Member loan loss provision
In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the statement of comprehensive income
the Credit Union makes judgment on whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for
financial assets that are individually significant. Where this does not exist the Credit Union uses its
judgment to group member loans with similar credit risk characteristics to allow a collective assessment of
the group to determine any impairment loss.
In determining the collective loan loss provision management uses estimates based on historical loss
experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment. Further
details on the estimates used to determine the allowance for impaired loans collective provision are provided
in note 6.

a) Shares in Central 1
As a condition of maintaining membership in Central 1, the Credit Union is required to hold an
investment in Central 1 shares as determined by the Central 1 Board of Directors from time to time.
Central 1 Class A shares are subject to an annual rebalancing mechanism based on credit union asset
growth and are issued and redeemable at par value. There is no separately quoted market value for
these shares; however, fair value is determined to be equivalent to the par value due to the fact that
transactions occur at par value on a regular and recurring basis. The Credit Union’s holding of
Central 1 Class A shares increased by $339,871 to $3,828,512 during 2016 as a combination of
Central 1 capital calls and rebalancing.

(10)
Central 1 Class E shares are issued with a par value however are redeemable at $2,918,500 at the option
of Central 1. There is no separately quoted market value for these shares and the fair value cannot be
measured reliably as the timing of redemption of these shares cannot be determined. Therefore, the
range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates
cannot be reasonably assessed. Class E shares are therefore recorded at cost of $2,918,500.
The Credit Union is not intending to dispose of any Central 1 shares as the services supplied by
Central 1 are relevant to the day to day activities of the Credit Union.
b) Liquidity reserve deposit
The Credit Union is required to maintain a liquidity reserve deposit with Central 1 equal to 6.00% of
the Credit Union’s total assets. The amount of the required liquidity reserve deposit is determined
monthly based on the amount of total assets in the previous month’s financial statements. The deposit
bears interest at fixed and variable rates set by Central 1 which averaged approximately 0.79%
(2015 - 0.96%), at year-end. Liquidity reserve deposits are consistent with a lending contract whereby
cash flows are advanced to Central 1 with a commitment to repay the Credit Union at a specified rate of
interest according to preset maturity dates.
c) CUCO Co-op Class B investment shares (formerly ABCP 2008 Limited Partnership investment)
As a pre-condition of Credit Union Central of British Columbia (CUCBC) acquiring Credit Union Central
of Ontario (CUCO), CUCO was required to divest itself of investments in certain third party asset-backed
commercial paper (ABCP). As a result, at a special general meeting held May 31, 2008, members of
CUCO approved a resolution to create a limited partnership, ABCP 2008 Limited Partnership (ABCP
LP), to acquire these investments. The funding which ABCP LP required in order to purchase these
investments from CUCO was provided by member Credit Unions of CUCO which were obligated to
provide their proportionate share of the funding in exchange for ownership units of ABCP LP. As at
July 1, 2008, the Credit Union had an investment of $4,069,626 in ABCP LP units designated as
available for sale.
Since the acquisition of the ABCP LP units the Credit Union has received distributions totalling
$4,102,590 (2015 - $3,861,882). These distributions have been recorded as a return of the initial capital
invested. Further, as a result of ongoing valuations the fair value of the investment has increased by a
total of $1,614,700 (2015 - $1,579,882).
On June 18, 2011 credit unions voted to approve a restructuring of CUCO as a regulated financial
institution under the Credit Unions and Caisses Popularies Act and its continuance as a cooperative
under the Canada Cooperatives Act under the name CUCO Co-operative Association (CUCO Co-op).
Also approved on June 18, 2011 was a motion to purchase the investment portfolio and certain other
assets and liabilities of ABCP LP. As a result, on August 31, 2011 the ABCP LP assets were sold to CUCO
Co-op in exchange for Class B investment shares.

On September 2, 2011, ABCP LP distributed to each credit union such Credit Union’s proportionate
share of CUCO Co-op Class B investment shares and ABCP LP was subsequently dissolved. There was
no change to the proportionate share of the Credit Union’s underlying ABCP assets now owned by CUCO
Co-op as a result of this transaction. The Credit Union maintains its proportionate share of voting rights
in CUCO Co-op, through its holding of membership shares obtained in the restructuring.
d) Qtrade Canada Inc.
On April 1, 2010 the Credit Union entered into a transaction with Qtrade Canada Inc. (QCI). According
to the terms of the transaction agreement the Credit Union exchanged all of its shares in Meritas
Financial Inc. (MFI), a 65.7% owned subsidiary company, for 1,546,166 shares in QCI valued at
$14,419,646. Under IFRS this available for sale investment must be carried at fair value.
As at December 31, 2016 the Credit Union’s shares in QCI are valued at $17,023,287 (2015 -
$14,580,345).
The cumulative components of the Credit Union’s investment in QCI from prior to the MFI/QCI
transaction date (April 1, 2010) to present are as follows:

e) Oikocredit shares
Oikocredit, Ecumenical Development Cooperative Society U.A. (Oikocredit) provides financial services
and supports organizations internationally to improve the quality of life of low-income people and
communities. Oikocredit mobilizes the capital needed to carry out its mission by issuing shares to its
member organizations.
The Credit Union supports this work through a program of matching specially branded Credit Union
member owned term deposits with Credit Union owned investments in Oikocredit shares.
The Credit Union’s holding of these shares was $3,354,788 at December 31, 2016 (2015 - $4,026,217).
Oikocredit shares are classified as available for sale. Fair value is determined to be equivalent to par
value due to the fact that share issue and redemption transactions occur at par value on a regular and
recurring basis.
f) Loans to MEDA
MEDA is an international economic development organization whose mission is to create business
solutions to poverty. The Credit Union supports this work through the provision of fixed term
promissory notes to the organization.
Loans to MEDA, in the amount of $500,000 (2015 - $ 500,000), have been classified as loans and
receivables.

d) Loan loss provisions
The Credit Union has determined the likely impairment loss on loans which have not maintained loan
repayments in accordance with the loans contract, or where there is other evidence of potential
impairment such as industrial restructuring, job losses or economic circumstances. In identifying the
impairment likely from these events the Credit Union estimates the potential impairment using the
loan type, industry, type of loan security, the length of time the loans are past due and the historical
loss experience. The circumstances may vary for each loan over time resulting in higher or lower
impairment. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed
regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
For purposes of the collective provision, loans are classified into separate groups with similar risk
characteristics, based on the type of product and type of security.
The following table identifies the portion of the Credit Union's loan portfolio which is past due but not
considered impaired. For each loan type and aging category, carrying value of the loan and the value of
security held have been presented.

9 Demand loan
The Credit Union has access to a line of credit facility totalling $2,500,000 and U.S. $250,000 at Central 1.
These facilities are included in demand loan facilities totalling $47,350,000 (2015 - $32,750,000) with other
interest rates to be agreed upon when amounts are drawn. The facilities are secured by an assignment of
loans to members and a general security agreement covering all assets of the Credit Union. At year-end, the
Credit Union has drawn $9,718,312 under its line of credit facility (2015 - $4,643,306) and has borrowings of
$16,000,000 under the demand loan facility (2015 - $6,000,000).
The Credit Union also has access to a standby letter of credit line of $700,000 (2015 - $700,000) utilizing
$530,705 (2015 - $671,992).
In the ordinary course of business, the Credit Union is temporarily allowed to exceed the maximum line of
credit facility due to timing of clearing outstanding deposits and cheques.

10 Post retirement employee future benefits
The Credit Union sponsors a post-retirement benefit plan providing health, dental and life insurance

Through its post employment medical plan, the Credit Union is exposed to a number of risks, the most
significant of which are detailed below:
Changes in bond yields - a decrease in corporate bond yields will increase plan liabilities
Trend rates - an increase in expected health care and dental care costs will increase plan liabilities
The assumptions used in the measurement of the accrued benefit obligation are as follows:
The discount rate was established at 4.25% (2015 - 4.25%). The rate of increase in expected health care
rates is presumed to be 8.0% and this rate will reduce linearly to 5% after 6 years. Dental care costs
are presumed to increase 5.00% per year.
Sensitivity of assumptions

Each sensitivity analysis above is based on changing one assumption while holding all other assumptions
constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to variations in significant actuarial
assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected
benefit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as for calculating the liability recognized
in the statement of financial position.
The most recent actuarial valuation was prepared as at December 31, 2014.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 20.2 years.

12 Capital and liquidity management
The Credit Unions and Caisses Populaires Act of Ontario (“the Act”) requires Credit Unions to maintain
minimum levels of liquidity and regulatory capital. Liquidity is measured as cash resources and liquidity
term deposits, expressed as a percentage of the total of members’ deposits and demand loan. As per Credit
Union and Caisses Populaires Act regulatory capital must not total less than 4.00% (2015 - 4.00%) of total
assets, and not less than 8.00% (2015 - 8.00%) of risk-weighted assets. Regulatory capital, comprised of
Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, includes investment shares, owner shares, member shares, retained earnings and
accumulated other comprehensive income, adjusted for certain items under the Regulations to the Act. In
the calculation of regulatory capital as a percentage of total assets, total assets are also adjusted for certain
items under the Regulations to the Act. In accordance with the Act, no payments shall be made from
regulatory capital that would cause regulatory capital to fall below regulatory requirements. Liquidity and
regulatory capital as a percentage of assets are as follows:
Required 2016 2015
Liquidity 6 - 9% 7.78% 7.69%

The Credit Union’s liquidity plan is designed to ensure that the Credit Union will be able to pay obligations
when they fall due, be able to repay depositors when funds are withdrawn, and be able to meet commitments
to provide loans to members. Under normal operating conditions, Board policy requires management to
manage liquidity, inclusive of amounts borrowed, in the range of 6.00% to 9.00% and undertake remedial
action if results consistently fall outside of this desired range.
The Credit Union met its regulatory liquidity requirements as at and during the year ended
December 31, 2016 and exceeded the minimum requirements of the Act and Regulations regarding
regulatory capital as at December 31, 2016.
Beyond the regulatory requirements outlined above, the Board has established even higher targets with
respect to regulatory capital which it requires management to attain as it undertakes its responsibilities on
behalf of the Board.
The Credit Union’s capital management plan is designed to establish a strong base for future growth, the
payment of dividends and member patronage refunds, as well as provide a cushion in the event of market
volatility. By Board policy, the Credit Union is to attain a regulatory capital as a percentage of total assets of
7.50% and 11.00% as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.

b) Members’ loans
The Credit Union has made commitments to members for loans of approximately $61,063,843
(2015 - $75,066,480) which have not been disbursed by December 31, 2016. In addition, unutilized
portions of lines of credit extended to members at December 31, 2015 amounted to approximately
$186,188,695 (2015 - $178,908,000).
The Credit Union, in the course of its operations, is subject to lawsuits. As a policy, the Credit Union will
accrue for losses in instances where it is probable that liabilities will be incurred and where such liabilities
can be reasonably estimated.
17 Pension plan
The Credit Union has a defined contribution pension plan for qualifying employees. The Credit Union
matches employee contributions up to 7% of the employee’s salary. The expense and payments for the year
ended December 31, 2016 were $621,164 (2015 - $611,962). The Credit Union has no further liability or
obligation for future contributions to fund future benefits to plan members.
18 Derivative financial instruments
a) Index-linked purchase option agreements
Included in term deposits, RRSPs and tax free savings accounts are a total of $2,397,171
(2015 - $3,591,735) of index-linked deposits. The index-linked deposits are for a three or five year
period with the return based on the performance of various stock market indices.
The Credit Union has entered into purchase option agreements with Central 1 (notional amount
$2,407,569 (2015 - $3,747,410) to offset the exposure to the various indices associated with these
products, whereby the Credit Union pays Central 1 a fixed amount of interest at the start of the contract
based on the face value of the index-linked deposits sold. At the end of the three or five year term,
Central 1 pays to the Credit Union an amount equal to the amount that will be paid to the depositor
based on the performance of the particular indices.
The purpose of these purchase option agreements is to provide an economic hedge against market
fluctuations. These agreements have fair values that vary based on changes in various indices. The fair
value of these purchase option agreements included in other assets, amounted to $300,338 at
December 31, 2016 (2015 - $272,563). The fair value of the options embedded in the index-linked
deposits included in members’ deposits, amounted to $300,338 December 31, 2016 (2015 - $272,563).
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(29)
b) Interest rate swaps
The Credit Union enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to provide an economic hedge
against exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2016, the Credit Union was party to nine
interest rate swap agreements with Central 1. The agreements in aggregate represent a notional
principal amount of $318,294,000 which is used as the basis for determining payments under the
contracts and is not actually exchanged between the Credit Union and Central 1, its counterparty.
Under the term of the agreements, the Credit Union has contracted with the counterparty to pay interest
at a variable rate to be re-priced monthly or quarterly, while receiving interest at a fixed rate on the
notional principal amount.
These derivative instruments are recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value. Interest
rate swaps have a fair value that varies based on the particular contract, considering such factors as the
notional value, the term to maturity, and change in interest rates. At December 31, 2016, the fair value
of these agreements was an asset of $1,737,000 (2015 - $3,071,002). Included as components of gain on
derivative financial instruments in the statement of comprehensive income is net interest revenue on
interest rate swap transactions of $1,215,775 (2015 - $958,184) and net unrealized gains on interest rate
swap transactions of $(1,334,455) (2015 - $1,770,849).

All mortgages securitized by the Credit Union are required to be fully insured prior to sale and therefore give
rise to minimal credit risk. However, the Credit Union remains exposed to interest rate risk, timely payment
and prepayment risk associated with the underlying assets. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses have not been derecognized and the transactions are accounted for as secured financing
transactions in the Credit Union’s balance sheet and statement of comprehensive income.
20 Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of the Credit Union’s financial instruments were estimated using the valuation methods and
assumptions described below. Since many of the Credit Union’s financial instruments lack an available
trading market, the fair values represent estimates of the current market value of instruments, taking into
account changes in interest rates that have occurred since their origination. Due to the use of subjective
assumptions and uncertainties, the fair value amounts should not be interpreted as being realizable in an
immediate settlement of the instruments.
Fair values of floating rate loans and deposits approximate book value as the interest rates on these
instruments automatically re-price to market and the spread remains appropriate. Fixed rate loans are
valued by discounting the contractual future cash flows at current market rates for loans with similar credit
risks. Fixed rate deposits are valued by discounting the contractual future cash flows using market rates
currently being offered for deposits with similar terms. A credit valuation adjustment is applied to the
calculated fair value of uninsured deposits to account for the Credit Union’s own risk.
Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position. The fair
value is determined based on prevailing market rates and notional value.
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(31)
The fair value for the Credit Union’s investments as detailed in note 5 is determined as follows.
• Membership shares in Central 1 and Oikocredit do not trade in a public market. Fair market value
approximates par value as the shares are subject to regular rebalancing across the membership.
• Liquidity reserve deposits and loans to MEDA are fair valued by discounting the contractual future
cash flows at current market rates of similar financial instruments with similar terms.
• Class E membership shares in Central 1 do not trade in a public market. Fair value cannot be
measured reliably, as disclosed in note 5 a).
• Investments in CUCO Co-op Class B investment shares are valued based on an independent
valuation undertaken by CUCO Co-op of the underlying ABCP assets.
• As shares in Qtrade Canada Inc. do not trade in a public market, fair market value is determined by
applying multipliers relating to EBITDA and to underlying assets associated with the major
operating lines of business of the company.
The fair value of investment, owner and membership shares approximate carrying value.
Fair value hierarchy
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position are measured and classified
in a hierarchy consisting of three levels for disclosure purpose. The three levels are based on the priority of
the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or
indirectly.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to
the estimated fair value of the asset or liabilities.

The Credit Union’s equity investment in QCI consists of 1,546,166 Class A non-voting shares. The fair value
of the shares held is derived using a valuation multiples model consistent with the 2013 transaction between
QCI and Desjardins Group. The significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement are multiples
applied to EBITDA, and to underlying assets. The estimated impact of a 10% change in the value of these
inputs, all other inputs being held constant, is $1,610,600 (2015 - $1,375,000).
Management believes that reasonably possible changes to the other unobservable inputs would not result in
a significant change in the estimated fair value.
21 Financial risk management
The Credit Union’s risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse risks, to set appropriate
risk limits and controls, and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits by means of reliable and up-to-date
information systems. The Credit Union follows an enterprise risk management framework which involves
identifying particular events or circumstances relevant to its objectives, assessing them in terms of
probability and magnitude, determining a response strategy and monitoring progress. The Credit Union
regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to take account of changes in markets, products
and emerging best practice.
Risk management is carried out by a number of delegated committees reporting to the Board of Directors.
The Board provides written principles for risk tolerance and overall risk management. Management reports
to the Board on compliance with the risk management policies of the Credit Union. In addition, the Credit
Union utilizes a variety of resources to undertake various internal audit activities and reports to the
responsible senior leader and Board the results of these activities.
Financial instruments comprise the majority of the Credit Union’s assets and liabilities. The Credit Union
accepts deposits from members at both fixed and variable rates for various periods and seeks to earn an
interest rate margin by investing these funds in high quality financial instruments - principally loans and
mortgages. The primary types of financial risk which arise from these activities are interest rate risk, credit
risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, and other price risk.

a) Interest rate risk
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of the Credit Union’s financial
instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk
that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in prevailing market interest
rates. Financial margin reported in the statement of comprehensive income may increase or decrease in
response to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the Credit Union sets limits on the level of
mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored by the Credit Union’s
management and reported to the Board which is responsible for managing interest rate risk.
In managing interest rate risk, the Credit Union relies primarily upon use of the asset-liability and
interest rate sensitivity models. Periodically, the Credit Union may enter into interest rate swaps to
adjust the exposure to interest rate risk by modifying the re-pricing of the Credit Union’s financial
instruments. The Credit Union has entered into two new interest rate swaps in 2016. The full extent of
the interest rate swaps which the Credit Union has in place are included in note 18 b).
Interest rate shock analysis is used to assess the change in value of the Credit Union’s financial
instruments when an immediate increase or decrease to interest rates is introduced and the resulting
changes in income are computed over a twelve month period. This shock analysis is calculated on a
monthly basis and is reported to the asset-liability committee (“ALCO”) and subsequently to the Board.
Based on current differences between financial assets and financial liabilities, the Credit Union
estimates that an immediate and sustained 50 basis point increase (decrease) in interest rates would
increase (decrease) net interest income for the year by approximately $81,000.
The ALCO also looks at other aspects of interest rate risk such as basis risk, which is the risk of loss
arising from changes in the relationship of interest rates which have similar but not identical
Kindred Credit Union Limited Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2016
(tabular amounts in thousands of dollars)
(35)
characteristics (for example the difference between prime rates and the Canadian Deposit Offering Rate)
and prepayment risk, which is the risk of loss of interest income arising from the early repayment of
fixed rate mortgages and loans, to ensure they are appropriate and takes actions to ensure these are
within acceptable levels.
The following schedule shows the Credit Union’s sensitivity to interest rate changes as at
December 31, 2016. Amounts with variable rates, or due or payable on demand, are classified as
maturing within less than one year, regardless of maturity. Member loans and deposits subject to fixed
rates are based on contractual terms. Amounts that are not interest sensitive have been grouped
together.

-1,070,125 (1,070,125) - -
Interest sensitive assets and liabilities cannot normally be perfectly matched by amount and term to
maturity. One of the roles of a Credit Union is to intermediate between the expectation of borrowers
and depositors. The average rate of interest bearing assets is 3.34% and interest bearing liabilities is
1.39%.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a Credit Union member or counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full
when due. Credit risk arises principally from lending activities that result in member loans and
advances and investing activities that result in investments in cash resources. Counterparty risk is also a
key consideration with respect to derivative contracts which the Credit Union enters into from time to
time with Central 1. Significant changes in the economy of Ontario or deteriorations in lending sectors
which represent a concentration within the Credit Union’s loan portfolio may result in losses that are
different from those provided for at the statement of financial position date. Management of credit risk
is an integral part of the Credit Union’s activities. Concentration of loans is managed by the
implementation of sectoral and member specific limits as well as the periodic use of syndications with
other financial institutions to limit the potential exposure to any one member. Management carefully
monitors and manages the Credit Union’s exposure to credit risk by a combination of methods.

(36)
The Credit Union maintains levels of borrowing approval limits and prior to advancing funds to a
member an assessment of the credit quality of the member is made. The Credit Union emphasizes
responsible lending in its relationships with members and establishes that loans are within the
member’s ability to repay, rather than relying exclusively on collateral.
At December 31, 2016, the classes of financial instruments for which the Credit Union is most exposed to
credit risk are as follows:
Credit risk exposure Outstanding
$
Investments and deposits 92,192 Loans to members 953,353 Derivative financial instruments 1,737
1,047,282
Beyond the credit risk associated with the above financial assets, the Credit Union is also exposed to
credit risk associated with undrawn lines of credit and undisbursed commitments to members for loans
as at year-end, as disclosed in note 16 b).
Loans to members
Loans to members consist of loans, some of which are supported by specific collateral such as residential
properties, and charges over business assets such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable. The
Credit Union maintains guidelines on the acceptability of specific types of collateral. Where significant
impairment indicators are identified, the Credit Union will take additional measures to manage the risk
of default, which may include seeking additional collateral. In the case of loans which are conventional
mortgages, the Board has established maximum loan to value (“Max. LTV”) ratios that cannot be
exceeded. The following chart gives a profile of these maximums and identifies the amount of
conventional mortgages for each loan portfolio that are subject to these maximums.

The Credit Union’s lending (measured as a percentage of the total loan portfolio) is well diversified by
portfolio sectors as follows:
Board maximum
% 2016
% 2015
%
Residential No Limit 32.9 34.0 Personal No Limit 1.0 1.3 Agricultural 55.0 50.6 49.2 Commercial 20.0 15.5 15.5
Board policy also requires that the maximum combined exposure for total commercial and agricultural
lending (excluding institutional loans) be less than 58.0% of assets. At December 31, 2016, commercial
and agricultural loan exposure on this basis was 56.45%.
Furthermore, within the above noted portfolio sectors, the Board has also established maximum loan
concentrations within industry sectors to ensure an appropriate diversification within these portfolios.
Actual concentrations by industry sector were well below the maximums at year-end.
The credit quality of the commercial and agricultural loan portfolio for those loans which are neither
past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to the Credit Union’s internal risk rating system.
The Credit Union assesses the relative risk of the account using internal rating tools and taking into
account statistical analysis as well as the experience and judgement of the credit department. Loans
subject to rating are assigned to a risk score from 1 to 6 (1= low risk, 6= watch account). Loans are
regularly reviewed and updated as appropriate. With respect to the personal loan and residential
mortgage portfolio, procedures are in place to ensure the regular monitoring and review of loans in
addition to scheduled audits at the branch and head office levels.

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Credit Union will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its
obligations to members and other creditors. To mitigate this risk, the Credit Union is required to
maintain, in the form of cash and liquidity reserve term deposits, a board policy set minimum liquidity
at all times, based on total members’ deposits and demand loan. At December 31, 2016, the Credit
Union’s liquidity exceeded the required level as disclosed in note 12. The Credit Union’s own risk
management policies require it to maintain sufficient liquid resources to cover cash flow imbalances, to
retain member confidence in the Credit Union and to enable the Credit Union to meet all financial
obligations. This is achieved through maintaining a prudent level of liquid assets, through management
control of the growth of the loan portfolio, sale of loan portfolios and asset-liability maturity
management techniques. Management monitors projections of the Credit Union’s liquidity
requirements on the basis of expected cash flows as part of its liquidity management. The Credit Union
also maintains a borrowing facility with Central 1 of $47,350,000 as an integral part of its liquidity
management strategy as disclosed in note 9.

d) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is not considered significant at this time as the Credit Union does not engage in
any active trading of foreign currency positions or hold significant foreign currency denominated
financed investments for an extended period. The nature of the foreign exchange risk at the Credit
Union is that members can maintain US dollar deposit accounts and term deposits for which the Credit
Union will generally hold an equivalent amount US denominated assets in the form of cash and
investments. The Board has established that the Credit Union must ensure that the difference between
the US dollar denominated assets and liabilities must be less than $500,000. The Credit Union has
traditionally dealt with unwanted levels of foreign exchange risk by taking actions related to US
denominated assets and liabilities rather than entering into any foreign exchange derivative contracts.

The impact of a 10.00% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar is
considered insignificant.
e) Other price risk
The Credit Union is also exposed to other price risk on certain of its investments and deposits but given
the limited amount of these deposits and investments, the price risk exposure is considered
insignificant.
