4 Message from the President Coastal Villages has become the private sector employer of choice for residents of our villages, and the opportunities will continue to grow. I am grateful to report that in 2011, Coastal will be the first western Alaska CDQ group since the CDQ program began in 1992 to catch all of its pollock, crab and cod CDQ allocations aboard vessels that we own and operate ourselves. We will have around $75 million in annual seafood sales and provide jobs for more than 1,500 people, primarily people from our region. We are already the largest private sector employer in our region with jobs for more than 1,000 western Alaskans each year and there is more growth ahead. What does it mean to be the first CDQ group to catch our fish on wholly-owned vessels? It means that the fishery ownership benefits that used to go to companies and people in Seattle, Japan and elsewhere now go to our 20 villages and 9,400 residents. It means that jobs that used to be in buildings outside Alaska are now in the 23 facilities in our region and in Coastal s Anchorage headquarters. It means that the 12 large fishing and processing vessels owned 100% by Coastal Villages (and formerly owned by Seattle companies and individuals) will eventually be home-ported in Alaska. It means that the 250 crew positions aboard those vessels will be available to Alaskans in the years ahead. It means that our people will have better opportunity in the future, even while Coastal continues to provide hundreds of processing jobs, a reliable market for hundreds of our salmon fishers and hundreds more crew, tax assistance for hundreds of households in our region, heating oil for our most needy, parkas for our elders, half a million dollars in scholarships for our young people, community service job opportunities for year-olds in our region, project fund monies for our village governing bodies, and much else. Ownership means we can pay for all of these things. In the past, we have been advised to be cautious about discussing the Alaskanization of the Bering Sea groundfish fisheries that the CDQ program is making possible. The sensitivity goes all the way back to 1976, when the Washington and Alaska congressional delegations struck a deal that enabled Seattle companies to begin replacing foreign companies in fisheries within 200 miles of Alaska s shores. It wasn t until 1992 that the CDQ program came onto the scene, a 7.5% sliver as the other 92.5% of the lucrative pollock fishery was divided between Seattle and Japanese companies. With CDQ, we finally had a chance to participate. And while Coastal initially struggled, we ve maximized this opportunity for the past 12 years. Because of CDQ, we no longer have to be satisfied with only processing jobs that were sometimes offered by outside seafood companies to give themselves more Alaska flavor. Processing jobs are a great start, but they are not a career. With Coastal and CDQ, we have the chance for Alaskans to have the professional jobs, the management jobs, the operational jobs, the engineering jobs, the skippers jobs, the sales jobs, the shipyard jobs, the vessel and plant construction jobs, the accounting jobs, the investment jobs, the legal jobs, the regulatory jobs, the scientific jobs, the lobbying jobs, and the human resource jobs right here in Alaska. Alaskanization means that we can have white and blue collar careers for our hard-working people and their families, not just seasonal processing jobs. It will not happen overnight, but the CDQ program assures that it will happen eventually, finally. Coastal now provides the primary paycheck to hundreds of families in our region, plus a significant number of families outside Alaska. Our financial success will continue to depend on the performance of these key people, and we will continue to attract and hire the best the industry has to offer. Internally, we are sensitive to the term Alaskanization only for the concern it may cause the many valuable non-alaskan crew and employees who continue to be key to the success of the businesses and vessels that Coastal has purchased from Seattle. We are not going to Alaskanize overnight. We will continue to be the employer of choice for many non-alaskans as we learn and grow into the future. It has been almost 20 years since the CDQ program and Alaskanization began, and may be another 20 years before our residents fill openings and gain the experience needed to be the very best. The Coastal Villages Board of Directors remains patient, as patience has served us well. We remain guided by a seven-generation horizon in our mission and outlook. We continue to believe that Coastal and our residents must elevate to the highest standard in the Alaska seafood industry, not lower the standard to match inexperience. To me, this is what being the employer of choice means. Timothy Samson: President, CVRF 4 Coastal Villages

5 Message from the Executive Director During my time with Coastal Villages, I have had the honor of working directly with nearly 70 region residents who, as Coastal Board members, have taken this company towards a quarter of a billion dollars in net assets. A quarter billion. That sounds like something to be proud of, and it is. This year s annual report will provide the audited financials for 2009, but also describe the subsequent event achieved by Coastal s Board in 2010 that dramatically affects Coastal s balance sheet and that will no doubt affect our region s economy in a positive way for years to come. During 2009, we had the great honor of cutting the ribbon on a new $40 million seafood processing operation for our region: the Goodnews Bay Regional Seafood Plant in Platinum, Alaska. This new plant is the hub of Coastal s salmon enterprise, providing fishing, processing, and crew jobs to over 1,000 of our 9,400 residents each year. During the accelerated three-year construction, Coastal also expanded its tender fleet with vessels like the Camai and Wassilie B to achieve the Coastal Board of Directors goal of No Limits for our fishers. With completion of Platinum and the expansion of our tender operation, Coastal was able to buy all of the high quality salmon that our fishers were allowed by fishery managers to catch in We are also using the new assets to work toward the Board s goal to pay our fishers and processors more than in any other Alaska salmon fishery. We appear to have achieved that goal in 2009 for our processors, the majority of whom earned $11/hour for regular time, which is 52% above the minimum wage. We remain grateful that pollock continues to cover our salmon operation shortfalls as we strive toward the goals of higher fish prices and higher processor wages. Speaking of pollock, I am pleased to report that the Coastal Board of Directors concluded the most significant investment transaction in its history on May 7, 2010 when it redeemed our stock in American Seafoods in exchange for pollock fishing rights, a pollock catcher/processor vessel, Pacific cod fishing rights, and three cod catcher/processor vessels. In all, Coastal received over $100 million in assets in the transactions, free of any debt. We picked up four vessels that provide more than 150 jobs. With these new platforms, Coastal will become the first CDQ group in history in 2011 to catch all of its pollock, crab and cod aboard wholly-owned vessels. We are pleased with the projected changes to our balance sheet from the American transaction as well as with moving beyond the era in which CDQ revenue came from Seattle as CDQ royalty checks and K-1 earnings, rather than from our own operations in Alaska. The addition of the new pollock and cod operations to Coastal s existing salmon, halibut and crab operations is expected to elevate our annual seafood sales to over $75 million next year, making Coastal one of the largest, if not the largest, Alaskan-owned and Alaska-based seafood companies in existence. There have been advantages to being a passive investor (very little work or responsibility) just as there are potential negatives to having control (a great deal of hard work and 100% of the responsibility). Our Board has chosen to take responsibility because, if successful, Coastal will achieve its maximum economic development potential for our people, a result simply not possible as a passive investor. No doubt there will be moments when we miss the K-1 era. I am deeply grateful to have worked with the visionaries on Coastal s Board who had the strength and acumen over the past 12 years to build over $70 million in fisheries infrastructure from scratch for our region including our new Platinum plant and tenders, to buy and operate one of the largest crab harvesting companies in the Bering Sea, to be the first and only CDQ group to wholly own the pollock vessel aboard which its pollock will be caught, to be the first and only CDQ group to wholly own a major cod long-line company in the Bering Sea, to become the largest private sector employer in our region, to touch nearly every household in our region every year in a meaningful economic way, to provide millions of dollars for our youth each year in the form of scholarships and in-region jobs, to provide heating oil and parkas for our elders, and most importantly to do all of this without taking on any debt so that the next generation has an incredible running start. I am particularly honored to work for the people whose Platinum Plant in 2009 was the centerpiece of a new salmon economy for our region, and who have achieved a projected quarter billion dollars in net assets as of May 2010 for our residents and for the future. Beyond the Board, Coastal wishes to extend a whole-hearted thanks to all who have dedicated themselves to the governance and work of this organization. The mission is bigger than any individual, and the results have been for the benefit of all. Hope Fish Work. C. Morgen Crow: Executive Director, CVRF 2009 Annual Report 5

11 Community Service Centers Each Community Service Center (CSC), formerly known as a Fisheries Support Center, is a multi-purpose building that provides and enhances economic opportunities in the community, particularly for fishers participating in the commercial fisheries. Each CSC provides a professional space to maintain, repair, service and modify boats, motors, and fishing gear, thereby facilitating the participation of fishing families in the commercial harvests in the region. As an important secondary purpose, the CSC is available to community members to repair and maintain snow machines, four-wheelers, sleds, trailers and other equipment critical to life in the village. Additionally, CSCs may be used for communityrelated meetings and projects when space is available.

12 Coastal Villages Seafoods: Vessel Fleet CVRF Region Benefits Hawk Active at South Nunivak (halibut) and Eek Island (salmon) Coastal Mist Active at South Nunivak Camai Active at Quinhagak, Eek Island, and Tuntutuliak Tenders The CVS-owned fleet consisted of six tenders in 2009 with the addition of the Challenger (formerly Mr. Alexie) which is a 45-foot long scow that was purchased from the Port of Bethel in early August. The other new tenders for CVS in 2009 were the Camai, the Coastal Mist (formerly Sunshine 10), and the Double E (formerly Sunshine 11). The Kelly Mae and Hawk (formerly Leo) continued working for CVS as tenders in The chartered tenders Elsie M, Flying D, and Eider rounded out the Coastal tender fleet in 2009 for a total of nine tenders. As of the publishing of this 2009 report, Coastal had additionally acquired the Wassilie B to replace the hired tender Flying D for In Spring of 2010, Coastal adopted new names for some of its tenders, names suggested by region students in a naming contest. The new names are included in this report. In 2009, The Hawk (Leo) continued buying halibut on Nunivak Island, primarily at Cape Corwin, until the 28th of July when she started buying salmon at Eek Island. The Hawk was supported by the Coastal Mist (Sunshine 10) which shuttled halibut to the halibut plants in Mekoryuk, Tununak and Toksook. The Double E (Sunshine 11) operated out of Quinhagak and shuttled ice and totes to the tenders as well as round fish in totes to the plant when tides did not permit the tenders to land at the dock. The remaining five tenders were buying salmon in July and continued buying salmon in August. The Coastal Mist (Sunshine 10), Double E (Sunshine 11), and Challenger (Mr. Alexie) are great additions to the CVS fleet because of the service they can provide to halibut and salmon fishers and because they are very good first tenders for region residents to captain or engineer on in preparation for becoming captains, mates and engineers on the larger vessels in Coastal s fleet. Both the Kelly Mae and the Camai transported refrigerated containers of frozen product from Quinhagak to Platinum this season in addition to their normal tender assignments. Both tenders performed this task very well because of their large deck space and shallow draft. The Camai additionally transported sockeye from Togiak to Platinum in its refrigerated sea water tanks in late July to keep our processors busy in the time before our coho fishery started in August.

13 Coastal Villages Seafoods: Salmon Fishery The 2009 salmon season was very successful due to the hard work of our fishers and the improved efficiency provided by the Goodnews Bay Regional Processing Plant located in Platinum. For the season, over 4,030,000 pounds of salmon were harvested from four fishing districts Kuskokwim River district W1-B, Quinhagak, Goodnews Bay and for the first time for CVS, Togiak. At no time during the season were any limits placed on CVS fishers. The total ex-vessel value of the salmon purchased from fishers in 2009 was a record $1,850,288. Kuskokwim River Fishing on the Kuskokwim River was strong in 2009, though there was a gap in openers between July 1 and July 11, which meant the peak of the chum run was missed. The first opening directed at cohos was on July 28th and the last opening of the season was on August 22nd. Cohos started strong but quickly slowed with the peak of the run occurring approximately August 4th. On the Kuskokwim there were 16 openings in which 345 permit holders fished, harvesting 1,555,892 pounds of salmon worth $562,892. Quinhagak Fishing was strong in the Quinhagak district in 2009 especially for sockeyes. By the last week of July, coho fishing in the district began and continued up through the end of August. In the Quinhagak district there were 36 openings in which 189 permit holders harvested 1,921,170 pounds of salmon worth $958,352. The ex-vessel value of the salmon purchased from fishers in 2009 was a record $1,850,288. Goodnews Bay Fishing in Goodnews Bay began in June and continued in July and August at fairly normal levels with cohos beginning to dominate the harvest by the first week in August. Coho fishing continued until August 24th when the district was closed for the season. In the Goodnews Bay district there were 26 openings in which 39 permit holders harvested 447,949 pounds of salmon worth $252,205. Togiak By the middle of July it became apparent that the traditional lull in fishing would occur in the third week of July. The decision was made to attempt to purchase salmon in Togiak during the lull, so CVS registered as a buyer. On July 21st the Camai departed for Togiak and arrived on the 22nd. CVS was well received by Togiak fishers and bought over 100,000 pounds of salmon Annual Report 13

14 Coastal Villages Seafoods: Salmon Operations CVRF Region Benefits Goodnews Bay Regional Processing Plant The processing plant in Platinum opened its doors in June for the season. A total of 126 new jobs were created in the region with the plant s opening. During the course of the season 162 people were employed, of which 118 were from the CVRF region. The 162 people earned $944,670. The crew enjoyed the new facilities which included housing for 126 in 5 bunk houses. As with any new operation, there were a few issues in the systems at the opening of the processing plant which were quickly addressed and resolved by the plant staff. By the end of the season the processing line was consistently processing 12,000 pounds per hour of round salmon for the fresh and frozen headed and gutted (H&G) market or for further processing on the fillet line. The roe room was able to keep up with the H&G line and produced sujiko at a rate of 850 pounds per hour. These rates are equal to or better than the rates obtained by other salmon processing plants in the state. The fillet line also worked very well producing 1,250 pounds per hour of vacuum-packed salmon fillets. The plant in Platinum also served as a shipping hub for Quinhagak and the halibut plants. Supplies for the season were first shipped to the plant and then transshipped by tender to the other plants. Frozen salmon and salmon roe were also shipped from Quinhagak to Platinum where it was combined with salmon products from Platinum and shipped by barge to markets overseas and in the lower 48. During the course of the season the Platinum plant produced 159,180 pounds of fresh H&G salmon, 1,075,200 lbs of frozen H&G salmon and 240,859 pounds of frozen salmon fillets. In total 51 containers were shipped on two barges, the first during the first week of August and the second during the first week of September. Quinhagak Plant During the course of the summer the plant produced 403,509 pounds of fresh H&G salmon, 497,518 pounds of frozen H&G salmon and 206,619 pounds of frozen salmon fillets. Processing in Quinhagak is difficult because of the plant s distance from the dock where round product is unloaded and finished frozen product is stored for shipment. In addition the smaller and fragmented spaces where production takes place requires more people to do the same amount of work as compared to the Platinum plant. The rate of production in Quinhagak would probably have been less this season if it were not for the experienced crew members that returned to the plant to work. In 2009, 170 employees worked at the plant earning $1,054,853. Eighty-seven percent of Quinhagak employees were CVRF region residents. On July 23, 2009, over 200 residents from the Coastal region participated in a historic blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new Goodnews Bay Regional Processing Plant. With the plant s opening, a total of 126 new jobs were created and fishers in the region were able to benefit from No Limits on salmon, resulting in record payment for salmon catches. Bethel Dock To reduce the amount of time fishers were waiting in line at tenders on the Kuskokwim after salmon fishing periods, the Bethel dock was opened for buying beginning with the first coho opening on July 28th. The change was well received by fishers and helped to improve the quality of the fish being delivered to the plant in Platinum. There were 19 people employed at the dock earning $59, Coastal Villages

16 Coastal Villages Seafoods: Summary CVRF Region Benefits Summary In 2009, Coastal Villages cut the ribbon on the new $40 million Goodnews Bay Regional Processing Plant in Platinum, Alaska. The facility was built from the ground up over the course of three years, with $4.7 million spent in 2009 to put the finishing touches on the plant. In addition to being a modern factory for processing, filleting and vacuum-packing, blast freezing and producing both ikura and sugiko salmon roe, the new Platinum Plant generates its own power (2,400 KW), has its own fuel storage facility (130,000 gallons), its own water systems for both people and for processing, its own dock for tenders, supplies, shipping and fishers, its own sewer system, its own DEC-compliant outfall, its own freezer-container grid for up to sixty 40,000 pound freezer vans, and its own housing and cafeteria for over 200 workers, the majority of whom are from Coastal s member villages. On July 23, 2009, over 200 residents from the Coastal region participated in an historic blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new plant. The event was enjoyed by all who attended, and then the crew went back to work. The new plant allowed more salmon to be harvested (No Limits!) and allowed approximately $1 million in additional wages to be paid to CVS employees in The majority of processing workers earned $11/hour for regular time for the 2009 season. Coastal Villages is proud to have among the highest Alaska-hire rate and highest wages of all the seafood processing facilities in Alaska. Other major achievements in 2009 were: Increased wages paid to CVS employees in 2009 as compared to 2008 because of the increase in starting wage from $8.00 per hour to $9.00 per hour and the season completion and performance bonuses which brought the majority of our processors to $11.00 per hour for regular time in 2009; A record payment to salmon fishers for their catches, which was more than $400,000 greater than in previous years; An increased level of tender service with the addition of the Camai, the Coastal Mist (Sunshine 10) and the Double E (Sunshine 11) as well as the charter of the Flying D and Elsie M; Improved financial performance with total operating costs below budget; The success stories of hundreds of Coastal Villages region residents who benefitted by working or fishing for Coastal Villages Seafoods. With the completion of the Platinum Plant in 2009, and the expansion of Coastal s tender fleet in 2009 and 2010, our region has a new economic engine based on our sustainable salmon resource that will serve our people well in the future. 16 Coastal Villages

For the Heating Oil program, Coastal Villages received help from the governing bodies of all of our villages. The governing bodies are tasked with selecting the households in our region that are most in need of support and a helping hand.

This photo was taken as the Northern Hawk left the shipyard in June of Coastal Villages Pollock In 2009, Coastal Villages maintained its 46% interest in American Seafoods, the Seattle-based owner/operator of the pollock catcher/processors shown in this report. However, Coastal leased its 2009 pollock CDQ allocation to another company when American was unwilling to match the offer Coastal had received. Coastal and American were also developing differences over strategic issues. A mutuallybeneficial solution was reached in the Spring of 2010 when Coastal redeemed all of its shares in American in exchange for one percent (1%) of the BSAI directed pollock fishery quota, the C/P Northern Hawk, 7.6% of the Pacific cod freezer longline sector allocation, and three freezer-longline vessels (the Lilli Ann, the Deep Pacific, and the North Cape) along with other considerations. With these 100% Coastal-owned assets, Coastal will be able to maximize the benefits that the BSAI groundfish fisheries produce for our region, for our villages, for our residents, and for future generations. The new, independent structure will present challenges, but Coastal s active participation in the BSAI fisheries is the inevitable result of Coastal s investment success and of the CDQ Program requirement that CDQ groups re-invest in the BSAI fisheries. We have been grateful for our partnerships with Seattle, for what they have taught us, and for passive earnings. We are also grateful to now be applying these experiences and resources in an active way for Western Alaska. The CDQ Program has enabled Coastal and other CDQ groups to become the first significant Alaskan owners in the 50-year history of the BSAI groundfish fisheries. For Coastal, this already means over 100 full-time, high paying seafood industry jobs that were previously based in Seattle. Hopefully we are just getting started.

The acquisition of the F/V Arctic Sea, F/V North Sea, and F/V Bering Sea together with valuable crab quota marked the beginning of Coastal s transition from a passive, minority investor, into an active Alaska crab company with control of its assets. In 2009, Coastal reached another important milestone when it completed the relocation of the management of Coastal Villages Crab, LLC from Seattle up to Coastal s Anchorage headquarters. By managing the three vessels and quota in Alaska, we are able to maximize ownership benefits, gain efficiencies of scale with our existing salmon and halibut operations, protect our second most important revenue source (next to pollock), provide better support for our residents who are working in the crab business, and continue to strengthen our accounting, human resource, purchasing and sales departments so that they are prepared for more growth in the future. An important and direct result of the CDQ program is the transfer of ownership and management in the Alaska seafood industry from Seattle up to Alaska.

Coastal sold its minority interest in the three Prowler longliners in December of Coastal will apply its experience in the salmon, halibut and crab fisheries as we begin direct participation in the freezerlongline Pacific cod fishery. There will be a transitional period during which we will continue to learn from others as we absorb responsibility for all aspects of the operation. Because of the longline fishing cooperative, we may have the opportunity to use the now wholly-owned processing/freezing vessels in our western Alaska halibut and salmon operations as well.
