Other Laws and Practices Governing Telephone Service Throughoutthe Customer Informationpages we have told you about many of the rules and regulations that govern telephone service.Here are some other importantthings you should know: RTI Rural Telecom provides telephone service without regard to race,nationality, color,religion,sex,marital status,or disabilities.RTI Rural Telecom is regulated by the Idaho &Nevada Utilities Commissions.A complete copy of the rules and regulations governingtelephone service is availableat the Idaho &Nevada Public Utilities state office and RTI Rural Telecom. The rates and practices for telephone services now in effect are subject to change.A schedule of current rates is availableat the Idaho &Nevada Public Utilities state office and RTI Rural Telecom.All telephone numbers are owned by your local telephone company,which has the right to change any numbers as may be required. No automatic dialing announcing device can be connected to RTI Rural Telecom network unless it complies with Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rules.Autodialers used to transmit artificial or prerecorded voice messages should automatically release the called party's line within 5 seconds of that party's hang-up signal reaching the caller's dialing system.For additional infor- mation contact RTI Rural Telecom,toll free at 1-888-366-7821.

In our opinion,the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,in all material respects,the financial position of Rural Telephone Company and its subsidiaries,as of December 31,2021,and 2020,and the results of their operationsand their cash flows for the years then endedin accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We did not audit the financial statements of Syringa Networks,LLC (Syringa),the investment in which, as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements,is accountedfor by the equity method of accounting.The investment in Syringa was $3,024,651 and $2,586,282 as of December 31,2021 and 2020,respectively,and the equity in its net income was $749,229 and $591,300 for the years then ended. The financial statements of Syringa were auditedby other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Syringa is based solely on the report of, and additional audit proceduresto meet the relevant requirements of auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America performed by,the other auditors. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS)and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditingStandards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.Our responsibilities under those standards are further describedin the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements"section of our report.We are required to be independentof Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries and to meet our other ethical responsibilities,in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits.We believe that the audit evidencewe have obtained is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our audit opinion.The financial statements of Syringa were not audited in accordancewith Government Auditing Standards. 3PRAXITY Empowenn:Business Globany Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Page 2 Responsibilitiesof Managementfor the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordancewith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,implementation and maintenanceof internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,managementis required to evaluatewhether there are conditions or events,considered in the aggregate,that raise substantial doubt about Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries'ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Auditor's Responsibility Our objectives are to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not absoluteassurance and therefore is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordancewith GAAS and Government AuditingStandards will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists.The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion,forgery,intentional omissions,misrepresentations,or the override of internal control. Misstatements are consideredmaterial if there is a substantial likelihoodthat,individually or in the aggregate,they would influence the judgment made by a reasonableuser based on the consolidated financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and GovernmentAuditing Standards,we: Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,and design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks. Such proceduresinclude examining,on a test basis,evidenceregarding the amounts and disclosuresin the consolidated financial statements. Obtain an understandingof internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances,but not for the purpose of expressingan opinion on the effectiveness of Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries'internal control. Accordingly,no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriatenessof accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,as well as evaluatethe overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Conclude whether,in our judgment,there are conditions or events,consideredin the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries'ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonableperiod of time. We are required to communicate with those chargedwith governanceregarding,among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audit,significant audit findings,and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Page 3 Other ReportingRequired by Government Auditing Standards In accordancewith Government Auditing Standards,we also have issued our report dated April 28,2022, on our consideration of Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries'internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts and grant agreements and other matters.The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordancewith GovernmentAuditing Standards in considering Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries'internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

The accounting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Telephone operations reflect practices appropriateto the telephone industry.The accounting records of the telephone company are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for Telephone Companies prescribed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)as modified by the state regulatory authorities. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company,Rural Telephone Company (RTC),and its 100%owned subsidiaries,Nehalem Telecommunications,Inc.(NTI)and Pend Oreille Telephone Company (POTC).All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires managementto make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are consideredcash equivalents.At December 31,2021 and 2020,cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts. At December 31,2021 the Company's cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $1,218,000. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amount of consideration from customers of which the Company has an unconditional right to receive plus any accrued and unpaid interest.Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 15 days after the issuance of the invoice.The Company monitors outstanding balances and periodicallywrites off balances that are determined to be uncollectible. The Company has concluded that losses on balances outstanding at year end will be immaterial. 9 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Materials and supplies Materials and supplies consist primarily of construction materials used to expand the Company's network.Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the averagecost method. Inventory Inventoryis stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the average cost method.Inventoryconsists of various nonregulated equipment that is purchasedby the Company primarilyforsaletocustomers. Debt Securities Debt securities held by the Company generally are classified and recorded in the consolidated financial statements as follows: Classified as Description Recorded at Held to maturity Certain debt securities that management Amortized cost (HTM)has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity Trading Securities that are bought and held Fair value,with changes in fairprincipallyforthepurposeofsellinginvalueincludedinearnings the near term and,therefore,held for only a short period of time Available for sale Securities not classified as HTM or Fair value,with unrealized (AFS)trading gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensiveincome Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the averagecost method. 10 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 When the fair value of securities is below the amortized cost,the Company's accounting treatment for an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI)is as follows: AccountingTreatment for OTTI Components Circumstances of Impairment Credit Considerations Component Remaining Portion Not intended for sale and more likely than not that Recognized in Recognized in other the Company will not have to sell before recovery of earnings comprehensive cost basis income Intended for sale or more likely than not that the Recognized in earnings Company will be required to sell before recovery of cost basis For held-to-maturity debt securities,the amount of OTTI recorded in other comprehensiveincome for the noncredit portion of a previous OTTI is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimatedcash flows of the security. When a credit loss component is separatelyrecognized in earnings,the amount is identified as the total of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security,as projected based on cash flow projections. EquitySecurities The Company measures equity securities,other than investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting,at fair value with changes recognized in net income. The Company measures equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost,minus impairment,if any,plus or minus changes resulting from observableprice changes for the identical or a similar investment. For equity securities and equity investments measuredunder the practicabilityexception,the Company performs a qualitative assessment for equity investments without readily determinable fair values considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether an impairment exists.If an impairment exists,the Company will recognize a loss based on the difference between carrying value and fair value. Property,Plant and Equipment Property,plant,and equipment acquisitions are recorded at original cost including the capitalized cost of salaries and wages,materials,certain payrolltaxes,employee benefits and interest incurred during the construction period. 11 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 The Company provides for depreciation for financial reporting purposeson the straight-line method by the application of rates based on the estimated service lives of the various classes of depreciableproperty as approvedby the state regulatory authorities.These estimates are subject to change in the near term. The estimated useful lives for each major depreciable classification of property and equipment are as follows: Buildings 25-36 years Furniture and office equipment 4-16 years Vehicles and work equipment 3-9 years Switching equipment 8-19 years Outsideplant 7-50 years Leasehold improvements 33 years Internet equipment 3-5 years Wireless equipment 5 years CATV equipment 8 years Other property 5 years The Company capitalizes interest costs as a component of construction in progress,based on the weighted-average rates paid for long-term borrowing. Renewalsand betterments of units of telephone property are chargedto telephoneplant in service. When telephoneplant is retired,its cost is removed from the asset account and charged against accumulated depreciation less any salvagerealized.No gains or losses are recognized in connection with routine retirements of depreciabletelephone property.Repairs and renewals of minor items of telephoneproperty are included in plant specific operations expense. Repairs of other property,as well as renewals of minor items,are chargedto plant specific operations expense.A gain or loss is recognized when other property is sold or retired. Deferred Revenue Revenuefrom fees for a tower lease are deferred and recognized over the periods to which the fees relate in accordancewith Topic 606. Advanced Payments Advanced billing and paymentsincludes a payment of $446,290 received in 2020 for 2021 Washington Universal Service Fund. Asset Retirement Obligations Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that an asset retirement obligation (ARO)associated with the retirement of a tangible long-livedasset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred or becomes determinable (as defined by the standard)even when the timing and/or method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. 12 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 When the liability is initiallyrecorded,the entity capitalizes the cost of the asset retirement obligation by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-livedasset.Over time,the liability is accreted to its present value each period,and the capitalized cost is depreciatedover the usefullifeoftherelatedasset. The Company has determined it does not have a material legal obligation to remove long-lived assets,and accordingly,there have been no liabilities recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. GoodwiH The Company elected the private company accounting alternative for identifiableintangible assets in a business combination.Under this alternative,certain customer-related intangible assets and noncompetition agreements are subsumed into goodwill and are no longer required to be recognized separatelyin the accounting for a business combination. The Company also has elected the private company accounting alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill.Under this alternative,goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years or less.The Company evaluatesthe recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at the entity level whenever events or circumstancesindicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment,the Company has the option first to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired or the entity can bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test by comparing the carrying amount,including goodwill,of the entity with its fair value.The goodwill impairment loss,if any,is measuredas the amount by which the carrying amount of an entity,includinggoodwill,exceeds its fair value.Subsequentincreases in goodwill value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. IntangibleAssets Intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized on the straight-line basis over three years. Such assets are periodicallyevaluated as to the recoverability of carrying values. Long-LivedAsset Impairment The Company evaluatesthe recoverability of the carrying value of long-livedassets whenever no longer cost of service regulated,events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not berecoverable. If a long-livedasset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flowsexpectedtoresultfromtheuseandeventualdispositionoftheassetislessthanthecarrying amount of the asset,the asset cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-livedasset exceeds its fair value. No asset impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020. 13 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Income Taxes The company is included in the consolidated income tax return of Martell Enterprises,Inc. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)740, Income Taxes).The income tax accounting guidance results in two componentsof income tax expense:current and deferred.Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues.The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet)method.Under this method,the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences betweenthe book and tax bases of assets and liabilities,and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods.Deferred tax assets are reducedby a valuation allowance if,based on the weight of evidence available,it is more likely than not some portion or all of a deferredtax asset will not be realized. Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not,based on the technical merits,the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination.The term "more likely than not"means alikelihoodofmorethan50percent;the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes,if any.A tax position that meets the more likely-than-not recognition threshold is initiallyand subsequentlymeasuredas the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greaterthan 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances,and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management's judgment. Investment tax credits (ITC)are being amortized over the regulatory life of the plant which produced the ITC. Revenue Recognition Network access revenues are derived from charges for access to the Company's local exchange network.The interstateportion of access revenues for NTI is based on a cost separation formula administered by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA)which is regulated by the FCC.Interstate access for RTC and POTC includes support funding based on the Alternative ConnectAmerica Model (A-CAM).See Note 13 for additional information aboutthe Company's network access revenues. The Company recognizesinternet revenue as the total amount earnedfrom charges to customers in the statement of operations as internet services.In accordancewith tariffs filed with the FCC by NECA,the Company charges its non-regulated internet operations the tariffed wholesale DSL rate for the use of the Company's regulated plant facilities.These charges in network access services and cost of internet services totaled $1,095,586 and $934,198 in 2021 and 2020,respectively. 14 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Revenueis recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers,in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled toinexchangeforthosegoodsorservices.The amount and timing of revenue recognition varies based on the nature of the goods or servicesprovided and the terms and conditions of the customer contract.See Note 8 for additional information about the Company's revenues. Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presentedin the accompanying consolidated statements of income on a net basis. AdvertisingCosts Advertisingcosts are expensed as incurred. Note 2:Debt and Equity Securities Amounts related to debt securities,including the amortized cost and approximate fair values, together with gross unrealized gains and losses and any other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI),are as follows: Gross GrossAmortizedUnrealizedUnrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value Debt Securities: December 31,2021: U.S.government obligations $72,172 $-$-$72,172 December 31,2020: U.S.government obligations $72,459 $-$-$72,459 15 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31,2021,by contractual maturityshownbelow.Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

The tax effects of temporary differences related to deferred taxes shown on the consolidated balance sheets were: 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets Regulatoryliability $71,515 $98,383 Investment tax credit 32,634 30,223 Total deferred tax assets 104,149 128,606 Deferred tax liabilities Depreciation 1,578,480 1,658,775 Investment in LLC 76,607 16,551 Total deferred tax liabilities 1,655,087 1,675,326 Net deferred tax liability $1,550,938 $1,546,720 A valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferredtax assets reported if,based on the weight of the evidence,it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferredtax assets will not be realized.After consideration of the evidence,both positive and negative,management determined that no valuation allowance was required at December 31,2021 and 2020,to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. 21 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 The tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying the federal statutory rates to income before taxes because of the effects of state income taxes,the deferral and amortization of investment tax credits and the amortization of deferred regulatory liabilities. In accordancewith ASC 980,the Company establisheda regulatory liability which represents the excess deferred taxes on depreciable assets,resulting from reductions in the statutory federal income rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.The regulatory liability is being amortized over the lives of the related depreciable assets.At December 31,2021 and 2020,the regulatory liability had a balance of $345,986 and $458,139,respectively. The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that there are no uncertain income tax positions that need to be recorded or reported in the financial statements atDecember31,2021 and 2020. The Company's federal and state income tax returns for years 2018 to present remain subject toexamination. Note 7:Revenue from Contracts with Customers Performance Obligations Revenueis measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers.The Company's revenue consists substantially of communications services and ancillary equipment offered to customers. Local services The Company offers voice including calling features,video,long distance and internet serviceson a standalonebasis or in bundled service packages.Each service is considereddistinct and therefore are accountedfor as separate performance obligations.Voice,video,long distance,and internet service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes thebenefitsprovidedbytheCompanyastheCompanyperforms.Customary terms require payment within 15 days from the bill date,and for certain customers,deposits may be required in advanceofservice.Billing is completed at the beginning of the month of service. Network access The Company recognizesnetwork access revenues when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied,which occurs when the customer transfersvoice and data traffic over the Company's network.Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company as the Companyperforms.Customary terms are governed by interstate and intrastate tariffs and require payment within 30 days from the bill date that is in arrears from the performance of the service. 22 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Miscellaneous and nonregulated services The Company sells ancillary communications equipment directly to end user customers.Direct sales to end user customers include products and may include related services such as installation and home network managementservices.These products are distinct from the delivered communications serviceswithin the context of the contract,and therefore revenue is recognized for products,installation and managementon a discrete basis.Revenueis recognized when the equipment is made available and the Company has an enforceable right to payment. Government support revenues Government support revenues consist of assistance from the Federal Universal Service Fund as described in Regulatory Matters,Note 13.Government support revenue is not considered a contract with a customer and is outside the scope of Topic 606,however,the Company has elected to account for government support revenues by analogy to Topic 606. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents the Company's revenues disaggregatedby the timing of such revenue recognized during the year ended December 31,2021 and 2020: 2021 2020 Timing of revenue and recognition At a point in time $55,398 $72,520 Over a period of time 4,789,662 4,457,976 Total $4,845,060 $4,530,496 These amounts do not include revenues outside the scope of Topic 606;therefore,revenue line items in this table will not agree to amounts presentedin the consolidated statements of income. The Company has determined that the nature,amount,timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are not materially affected by any factors such as geography of service location,customer type,or service line. SignificantJudgments For contracts where access is made available over time,the Company recognizesrevenue over the contract period for which the customer has subscribed to service.The Company measures a contract's progress based on days expired over the total contract period,a so-called output method. 23 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 AccountingPolicies and Practical ExpedientsElected AccountingPolicies For sales and other similar taxes collected from customers on behalf of third parties,the Company is applying an accounting policy election,which permits an entity to exclude from revenue (transaction price)any amounts collected from customers on behalf of governmental authorities, such as sales taxes,use tax,and other similar taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities.Therefore,the Company presents revenue net of sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes. Practical Expedients For significant financing components,the Company elected a practical expedient,which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the time value of money if the contract has a duration of one year or less,or if the reason the contract extended beyond one year is because the timing of delivery of the product is at the customer's discretion.As the Company's contracts are typically less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components,we have not presentedrevenue on a presentvalue basis. For sales and other similar taxes collected from customers on behalf of third parties,the Company electeda practical expedient,which permits entities to exclude from the transaction price all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority and that are "imposed on,and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer." For measuring progressfor revenue recognized over time,the Company elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient.This practical expedient allows an entity to recognize revenue in the amount of consideration to which the entity has the right to invoice when the amount that the entity has the right to invoice correspondsdirectly to the value transferred to the customer.That is,the invoice practical expedient cannot be applied in all circumstancesbecause the right to invoice a certain amount does not always correspondto the progress toward satisfying the performance obligation.Therefore,an entity should demonstrateits ability to apply the invoice practical expedient to performance obligations satisfied over time. 24 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Contract Balances The following table provides information about the Company's receivables,contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: 2021 2020 Accounts receivable,beginning of year $387,894 $406,991 Accounts receivable,end of year 349,735 387,894 Contract liabilities,beginning of year $50,332 $50,332 Contract liabilities,end of year 50,332 50,332 Note 8:Employee Benefits The Company has a Safe Harbor 401(k)plan (Plan)covering all eligible employees.Plan expense for 2021 and 2020 was $205,186 and $249,353,respectively.The Company makes contributions to the Plan equivalent to amounts accrued,which are limited to amounts permitted under Internal Revenue Service rules.

Note 10:Operating Leases The Company leases facilities to a telecommunications provider under certain lease agreements. Under these agreement,the Company recognized $50,000 of revenue during the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020. Minimum payments to be received for the operating lease having initial or remaining non-cancelableterms in excess of one year are as follows: Year Ending December 31,Amount 2022 $50,000 2023 50,000 2024 25,000 2025 25,000 Note 11:Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company grants credit to customers,all of whom are located in the franchised service area, and telecommunications intrastate and interstate long distance carriers.The Company is subject to competition for telecommunications services including telecommunications exchangeservices offered by other providers in the franchised area. The Company received 70 percent and 70 percent of its 2021 and 2020 revenues,respectively, from access revenues and assistance provided by the Federal Universal Service Fund.As a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996,the manner in which access revenues and Universal Service Funds are determined is currently being modified by regulatory bodies. Financial instruments that potentiallysubject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consistprincipallyofcashequivalents.The Company places its cash equivalents in severalfinancial institutions which limits the amount of credit exposurein any one financial institution. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which,at times,may exceed federally insured limits.The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. 26 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Note 12:Regulatory Accounting For its telephone operations,the Company follows generally accepted accounting principles for regulated enterprises.Accordingly,the Company defers certain cost and obligations and depreciatesplant and equipment over lives approved by regulators.While the Company continues to believe the current regulatory and competitive environment supportsthis accounting treatment, should conditions change the Company would be required to write-off these deferred cost andobligationsandevaluatethenetcarryingvalueofitsplantandequipmentforanyimpairment losses absent the future recovery currently permitted by the regulators. Note 13:Regulatory Matters The Company receivesrevenues from access revenues and assistance provided by the Federal Universal Service Fund.The manner in which access revenues and Universal Service funds are determined has been modified in severalrecent Federal Communications Commission proceedings. Changes include modifications to rate-of-return support including caps on the recovery of certain expenditures,and reductions in terminating access charges billed with eventual transition to a bill-and-keep framework for the exchange of traffic between carriers.These changes by the FCC createdvarious support mechanisms which allowed eligible rate-of-return carriers to elect and Alternative Connect America Model (A-CAM II)option,continue with their existing or revisedAlternativeConnectAmericaModel(A-CAM I)election or remain a legacy rate-of-return carrier. The Company has elected to accept the revised A-CAM I support offer in certain states.For its operations in Idaho,Nevada and Washington,the Company is eligibleto receive funds of $4,507,425per year for ten years.The Company declined A-CAM II support in Oregon.For the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020,the Company received $4,507,425 and $4,507,425, respectively,in A-CAM funds,which is included in network access services. During 2021,the Company completed an analysis of eligible locations to meet the buildout requirements covered by the A-CAM order.The Company determined it will meet buildout requirements,as such no allowance has been established. Whether a rate-of-return carrier chooses model-based support or remains on legacy mechanisms,itwillberequiredtomeetserviceobligations,adheredto reporting obligations,and retain records. Note 14:Future Change in Accounting Principle Accountingfor Leases The Financial Accounting Standards Board amendedits standard related to the accounting for leases.Under the new standard,lessees will now be required to recognize substantially all leases on the consolidated balancesheets as both a right-of-use asset and a liability.The standard has two types of leases for consolidated income statement recognition purposes:operating leases and finance leases. 27 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Operating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term similar to the treatment for operating leases under existing standards.Finance leaseswillresultinanacceleratedexpensesimilartotheaccountingforcapitalleasesunderexisting standards.The determination of lease classification as operating or finance will be done in a manner similar to existing standards.The new standardalso contains amendedguidance regarding the identificationof embeddedleases in service contracts and the identificationof lease and non- lease components in an arrangement.The new standardis effective for annualperiods beginning after December 15,2021,and any interim periods within annual reporting periods that begin afterDecember15,2022.The Company is evaluating the effect the standardwill have on the consolidated financial statements;however,the standardis expectedto have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements due to the recognition of additional assets and liabilities for operating leases. Accountingfor Financial Instruments --Credit Losses The Financial Accounting Standards Board amendedits standards related to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments.This amendment introduces new guidance for accounting for credit losses on instruments including trade receivables and finance receivables.The newstandardiseffectiveforfiscalyearsbeginningafterDecember15,2022,including interim periods within those years.The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect the amendmentwill have on the consolidated financial statements. Note 15:Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observableinputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices,such as quotedprices for similar assets or liabilities;quotedprices in markets that are not active;or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observablemarket data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. 28 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Recurring Measurements The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheets measuredat fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31,2021 and 2020: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Fair Value (Level 1)(Level 2)(Level 3) December 31,2021: Available-for-salesecurities: Equities $49,350 $49,350 $-$ Held-to-maturity securities: U.S.Treasuries 72,172 -72,172 December 31,2020: Available-for-salesecurities: Equities $49,350 $49,350 $-$- Held-to-maturity securities: U.S.Treasuries 72,459 -72,459 - Followingis a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets and liabilities measuredat fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanyingbalance sheets,as well as the generalclassification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. Therehave been no significant changes in the valuation techniquesduring the year ended December 31,2021. Debt and EquitySecurities Where quoted market prices are available in an active market,securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.If quoted market prices are not available,then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing servicesand pricing models,the inputs of which are market-basedor independently sourced market parameters,including,but not limited to,yield curves,interest rates,volatilities, prepayments,defaults,cumulative loss projections and cash flows.Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.There are no securities classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. 29 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2021 and 2020 Note 16:Subsequent Events Subsequent events havebeen evaluatedthrough April 28,2022 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 30 Supplementary Information 8517 Excelsior Drive,Suite 301 I Madison,Wi 53717-2910 CPAs &AdvisorS 608.664.9110 I Fax 608.664.9112 I bkd.com IndependentAuditor's Report on Supplementary Information Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Glenns Ferry,Idaho Our audits were conducted for the purposeof forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.The supplementary information listed in the table of contents is presentedfor purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements,but is required by the United States Department of Agriculture,Rural Development Utilities Programs.Such information is the responsibility of managementand was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to preparethe consolidated financial statements.The information has been subjectedto the auditing proceduresapplied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures,including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to preparethe consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves,and other additional proceduresin accordancewith auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.In our opinion,the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Standards IndependentAuditor's Report Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Glenns Ferry,Idaho We have audited,in accordancewith auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditingStandards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States,the consolidated financial statements of Rural

cash flows for the year then ended,and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements,and have issued our report thereon datedApril 28,2022. Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements,we consideredthe Company's internal control over financial reporting (internal control)to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the Company's internal control.Accordingly,we do not express an opinion on the effectivenessof the Company's internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow managementor employees,in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis.A material weakness is a deficiency,or a combination of deficiencies,in internal control,such that there is a reasonablepossibility that a material misstatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.A significant deficiency is a deficiency,or a combination of deficiencies,in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness,yet important enoughto merit attention by those chargedwith governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designedto identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and,therefore,material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.Given these limitations,during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control,describedin the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as items 2021-001 and 2021-002 that we consider to be significant deficiencies. 3PRAXITY Ëmpowering Busmess Globaiy Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Page 40 Reporton Complianceand Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonableassurance about whether the Company's consolidatedfinancial statements are free from material misstatement,we performed tests of its compliance with certainprovisions of laws,regulations,contracts and grant agreements,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.However,providingan opinion oncompliancewiththoseprovisionswasnotanobjectiveofouraudit,and accordingly,we do not express such an opinion.The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under GovernmentAuditingStandards. Rural TelephoneCompany's Response to Findings GovernmentAuditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedureson the Company's response to the findings identifiedin our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses.The Company's,response was not subjected to the auditing proceduresapplied in theauditoftheconsolidatedfinancialstatements,and accordingly,we express no opinion on the response. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describethe scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing,and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance.This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with GovernmentAuditing Standards in considering the Company's internal control and compliance.
