In our opinion,the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,in allmaterialrespects,the financial position of Rural Telephone Company and its subsidiaries,as ofDecember31,2022,and 2021,and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years thenendedinaccordancewithaccountingprinciplesgenerallyacceptedintheUnitedStatesofAmerica. We did not audit the financial statements of Syringa Networks,LLC (Syringa),the investment in which,asdiscussedinNote4totheconsolidatedfinancialstatements,is accounted for by the equity method of accounting.The investment in Syringa was $3,286,245 and $3,024,651 as of December 31,2022 and 2021,respectively,and the equity in its net income was $789,380 and $749,229 for the years then ended.The financial statements of Syringa were audited by 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 procedures to 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 ofAmerica(GAAS)and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards).Ourresponsibilitiesunderthosestandardsarefurtherdescribedinthe"Auditor's Responsibilities for the AuditoftheConsolidatedFinancialStatements"section of our report.We are required to be independent ofRuralTelephoneCompanyandsubsidiariesandtomeetourotherethicalresponsibilities,in accordancewiththerelevantethicalrequirementsrelatingtoouraudits.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.The financial statements ofSyringawerenotauditedinaccordancewithGovernmentAuditingStandards. ryxnry Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Page 2 Responsibilities of Managementfor the Consolidated Financial Statements As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements,Rural Telephone Company adopted new accounting guidance related to accounting for leases in accordance with ASC 842.Our opinion is notmodifiedwithrespecttothismatter. Responsibilities of Managementfor the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financialstatementsinaccordancewithaccountingprinciplesgenerallyacceptedintheUnitedStatesofAmerica; and includes the design,implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,whetherduetofraudorerror. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,management is required to evaluate whether there areconditionsorevents,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 theconsolidatedfinancialstatementsareavailabletobeissued. Auditor's Responsibility Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance 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 reportthatincludesouropinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and GovernmentAuditingStandardswillalwaysdetectamaterialmisstatementwhenitexists.The risk of not detecting amaterialmisstatementresultingfromfraudishigherthanforoneresultingfromerror,as fraud may involvecollusion,forgery,intentional omissions,misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,individually or in theaggregate,they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidatedfinancialstatements. 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 procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining,on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthatareappropriateinthecircumstances,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on theeffectivenessofRuralTelephoneCompanyandsubsidiaries'internal control.Accordingly,no suchopinionisexpressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significantaccountingestimatesmadebymanagement,as well as evaluate the overall presentation of theconsolidatedfinancialstatements. Conclude whether,in our judgment,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 for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters,theplannedscopeandtimingoftheaudit,significant audit findings,and certain internal control-related mattersthatweidentifiedduringtheaudit. Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Page 3 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards,we also have issued our report dated May 5,2023,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 accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Rural Telephone Company and subsidiaries'internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

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 considered cash equivalents.At December 31,2022 and 2021,cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts. At December 31,2022 the Company's cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $1,295,000. 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 31,2022 and 2021 Materials and supplies Materials and supplies consist primarily of construction materials used to expandthe Company's network.Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the averagecost method.

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 fair principally for the purpose of selling in value included in earnings 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 comprehensive income 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 determinedusing the averagecost method. 10 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 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: Accounting Treatment for OTTIComponents 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 comprehensive income 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 expectedto 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 practicability exception,the Company performs a qualitative assessment for equity investmentswithout readily determinable fair values considering impairment indicators to evaluatewhether 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 payroll taxes,employeebenefits and interest incurred during the construction period. 11 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 The Company provides for depreciation for financial reporting purposes on the straight-line method by the application of rates based on the estimatedservice lives of the various classes of depreciable property 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 Outside plant 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. Renewals and betterments of units of telephoneproperty are charged to telephoneplant in service. When telephone plant is retired,its cost is removed from the asset account and chargedagainst accumulated depreciation less any salvagerealized.No gains or losses are recognized in connection with routine retirements of depreciable telephoneproperty.Repairs and renewals of minor items of telephone property 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 payments includes a payment of $356,117 received in 2022 for 2023 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 31,2022 and 2021 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 presentvalue each period,and the capitalized cost is depreciatedover the useful life of the related asset. The Company has determined it does not have a material legal obligationto remove long-lived assets,and accordingly,there have been no liabilities recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Goodwill The Company elected the private company accounting alternative for identifiable intangible assets in a business combination.Under this alternative,certain customer-related intangible assets and noncompetition agreementsare 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 circumstances indicate 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 proceeddirectly 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,including goodwill,exceeds its fair value.Subsequentincreases in goodwillvalue 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 periodically evaluatedas 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 serviceregulated,events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a long-livedasset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expectedto result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset is less than the carrying 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 31,2022 and 2021. 13 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Income Taxes The company is included in the consolidated income tax return of Martell Enterprises,Inc. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordancewith 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 deductionsover 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 between the 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 betweenperiods.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 deferred tax 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 a likelihood of more than 50%;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 initially and subsequentlymeasuredas the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50%likelihood of being realized upon settlementwith 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'sjudgment. 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 interstate portion 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 Connect America Model (A-CAM).See Note 12 for additional information about the Company's network access revenues. The Company recognizes internet 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 operationsthe tariffed wholesale DSL rate for the use of the Company's regulated plant facilities.These charges in network access services and cost of internet servicestotaled $1,281,132 and $1,095,586 in 2022 and 2021,respectively. 14 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Revenueis recognized when control of the promised goods or servicesis transferred to the Company's customers,in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.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 7 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 Advertising costs 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 Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value Debt Securities: December 31,2021: U.S.government obligations $72,172 $-$-$72,172 15 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 EquitySecurities Without ReadilyDeterminable Fair Values The Company measures certain 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.As of and for the years endedDecember 31,2022 and 2021, amounts related to equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are as follows: 2022 2021 Carrying amount of investments without readily determinable fair values $605,103 $623,781 Impairments and downward adjustments recognized during the year -- Upward adjustments recognized during the year -- There havebeen no cumulative impairments and downward adjustments as of December 31,2022. There havebeen no cumulative upward adjustmentsas of December 31,2022. 16 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Note 3:Property,Plant,and Equipment Property,plant and equipment includes the following: 2022 2021 Telephone plant in service: Land $263,428 $288,914 Buildings 1,941,615 1,933,865 Furniture and office equipment 870,258 1,283,351 Vehicles and work equipment 3,951,104 3,956,675 Switching equipment 19,050,320 18,099,631 Outside plant 34,451,395 33,421,272 Leasehold improvements 340,919 293,914 Subtotal 60,869,039 59,277,622 Other property: Internet equipment 243,573 243,573 Wireless equipment 296,321 296,321 CATV equipment 252,852 245,812 Other 26,899 26,900 Subtotal 819,645 812,606 Total property,plant and equipment $61,688,684 $60,090,228 Depreciation on depreciable property resulted in a composite rate of 3.38%and 3.27%for 2022 and 2021,respectively. 17 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Note 4:Equity Method Investments The Company has a 3.84%interest in Syringa Networks,LLC which provides fiber transport and other servicesthroughout Idaho.For investments ($3,286,245 and $3,024,651 at December 31, 2022 and 2021,respectively)accountedfor under the equity method,the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the income and losses accruing to it under the terms of its membership agreement.The Company has elected to classify distributions received from this investment using the cumulative earnings approach. The following is a summary of condensedfinancial information pertaining to the investment described above: December 31, 2022 2021 Assets $117,803,673 $102,054,738 Liabilities 31,983,526 23,046,919 Equity $85,820,147 $79,007,819 Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Revenues $71,480,392 $71,192,460 Expenses 50,923,626 51,681,290 Net Income $20,556,766 $19,511,170 18 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Note 5:Long-Term Debt Long-term debt consists of: 2022 2021 RDUP mortgage notes -5%$1,921,771 $2,551,337 RUS note payable for ARRA Broadband Initiative Program -2.567%40,688 46,298 RUS note payable for ARRA Broadband Initiative Program -3.051%60,424 68,600 RUS note payable for ARRA Broadband Initiative Program -2.756%136,943 155,685 RUS note payable for ARRA Broadband Initiative Program -2.169%25,924 29,553 RUS note payable for ARRA Broadband Initiative Program -2.361%68,682 78,220 RUS note payable for ARRA Broadband Initiative Program -2.383%3,023 3,442 Long-termnote to Umpqua Bank -payments due monthly, interest rate of 4.90%,due in 2025 156,666 214,724 Long-termnote to DitchWitch Financial -payments due monthly interest rate of 5.69%,due in 2024 114,266 199,671 2,528,387 3,347,530 Less current portion 803,298 763,060 $1,725,089 $2,584,470 19 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 The annual requirements for principal payments on long-term debt for the next five years are as follows: 2023 $803,298 2024 769,100 2025 693,500 2026 122,000 2027 53,000 Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as security for the long-term debt under certain loan agreementswith the Rural Development Utilities Program (RDUP).These mortgage notes are to be repaid in equal monthly installments covering principal and interest beginning after date of issue and expiring by 2029. The mortgage to the United States of America,underlying the RDUP notes,contains certain restrictions on the declaration or payment of cash dividends,redemption of capital stock or investment in affiliated companiesexcept as might be specifically authorized in writing in advance by the RDUP noteholders. The security and loan agreements underlying the Umpqua Bank note contains certain restrictions on distributions to stockholder's,and investment in or loans to others.The Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios for long-term debt to net worth and debt service coverage. Cash paid for interest net of amounts capitalized for 2022 and 2021 totaled $144,700 and $184,293 respectively. At December 31,2022,of the funds available for long-term notes,all funds were advanced. Under the provisions of the loan contract,advancesof loan funds shall be depositedin a special construction account and held in trust for the government until disbursed.The loan contract restricts disbursementsto such expenditures as RDUP may authorize.All payments from the trust accounts are subject to RDUP approval. 20 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Note 6:Income Taxes Income taxes reflected in the consolidated statements of income consist of the following: 2022 2021 Federalincome taxes: Current tax expense $396,873 $627,859 Deferred tax expense (83,964)(88,765) State income taxes: Current tax expense 84,088 96,200 Deferred tax expense (77,601)(19,170) Investmenttax credits,net 11,607 6,571 Income tax expense $331,003 $622,695 Cash paid for income taxes and estimated income taxes for 2022 and 2021 totaled $718,453 and $684,550,respectively. The tax effects of temporary differences related to deferred taxes shown on the consolidated balance sheets were: 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets Regulatoryliability $44,672 $71,515 Investment tax credit 36,894 32,634 Total deferred tax assets 81,566 104,149 Deferred tax liabilities Depreciation 1,504,500 1,578,480 Investmentin LLC 76,738 76,607 Total deferred tax liabilities 1,581,238 1,655,087 Net deferred tax liability $1,499,672 $1,550,938 A valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax 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 determinedthat no valuation allowance was required at December 31,2022 and 2021,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 31,2022 and 2021 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 accordance with 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 31,2022 and 2021,the regulatory liability had a balance of $235,687 and $345,986,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 at December 31,2022 and 2021. The Company's federal and state income tax returns for years 2019 to presentremain subject to examination. Note 7:Revenue from Contracts with Customers Performance Obligations Revenueis measuredas the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providingservicesto customers.The Company's revenue consists substantially of communications servicesand ancillary equipment offered to customers. Local services The Company offers voice including calling features,video,certain long distance and internet serviceson a standalonebasis or in bundled servicepackages.Each serviceis considered distinct and therefore are accounted for as separate performance obligations.Voice,video,certain long distance,and internet service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company as the Company performs. Customary terms require payment within 15 days from the bill date,and for certain customers, deposits may be required in advanceof service.Billing is completed at the beginning of the month of service. Network access The Company recognizes network access revenues when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied,which occurs when the customer transfers voice and data traffic over the Company's network.Revenueis recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company as the Company performs.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 31,2022 and 2021 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 management on a discrete basis.Revenue is 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 describedin 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 31,2022 and 2021: 2022 2021 Timing of revenue and recognition At a point in time $67,874 $55,398 Over a period of time 4,735,377 4,789,662 Total $4,803,251 $4,845,060 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 subscribedto 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 31,2022 and 2021 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 electeda 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 elected a 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 circumstances because the right to invoice a certain amount does not always correspond to the progresstoward 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 31,2022 and 2021 Contract Balances The following table provides information about the Company's receivables,contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: 2022 2021 Accounts receivable,beginning of year $349,735 $387,894 Accounts receivable,end of year 463,346 349,735 Contract liabilities,beginning of year $50,332 $50,332 Contract liabilities,end of year 60,094 50,332 Note 8:Employee Benefits The Company has a Safe Harbor 401(k)plan (Plan)covering all eligibleemployees.Plan expense for 2022 and 2021 was $247,223 and $205,186,respectively.The Company makes contributions to the Plan equivalent to amounts accrued,which are limited to amounts permitted under Internal Revenue Service rules. Note 9:Related Party Transactions Related party receivables at December 31 consists of the following: 2022 2021 Noncurrent affiliate receivable,stockholders and employees $494,620 $521,810 Noncurrent affiliate receivable,Martell Enterprises,Inc.153,244 150,212 Noncurrent af61iate receivable,Little Valley Elk Ranch 283,009 278,007 $930,873 $950,029 The Company leases equipment from Little Valley Elk Ranch (LVER).Leasing expenses were $170,673 and $170,673 in 2022 and 2021,respectively.LVER is a related party to the Company as shareholdersof the Company own LVER. 25 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 The Company is a member in Syringa Networks,LLC (Syringa)which provides servicesto the Company and also receives servicesfrom the Company.For the years ending December 31,2022 and 2021,the Company incurred expenses totaling $426,674 and $454,125,respectively,for servicesreceived and recognized revenues of $363,564 and $337,319,respectively,for services provided. Note 10: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%and 70%of its 2022 and 2021 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 consist principally of cash equivalents.The Company places its cash equivalents in several financial institutions which limits the amount of credit exposure in 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 experiencedany losses in such accounts.The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Note 11: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 supports this accounting treatment, should conditions change the Company would be required to write-off these deferred cost and obligations and evaluatethe net carrying value of its plant and equipment for any impairment losses absent the future recovery currently permitted by the regulators. 26 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Note 12:Regulatory Matters The Company receives revenues 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 several recent Federal Communications Commission proceedings. Changesinclude modifications to rate-of-return support including caps on the recovery of certain expenditures,and reductions in terminating access charges billed with eventualtransition to a bill-and-keep framework for the exchangeof traffic between carriers.These changes by the FCC createdvarious support mechanismswhich allowed eligible rate-of-return carriers to elect and Alternative Connect America Model (A-CAM II)option,continue with their existing or revised Alternative Connect America Model (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 endedDecember 31,2022 and 2021,the Company received $4,507,425 and $4,507,425, respectively,in A-CAM funds,which is included in network access services. During 2022,the Company completed an analysis of eligible locations to meet the buildout requirements coveredby 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-basedsupport or remains on legacy mechanisms,it will be required to meet service obligations,adheredto reporting obligations,and retain records. Note 13: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 transactionbetween market participants at the measurement date.Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs 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 Observableinputs other than Level 1 prices,such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;quoted prices 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.

There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the year ended December 31,2022. Debt and Equity Securities Where quoted market prices are available in an active market,securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.If quotedmarket prices are not available,then fair values are estimatedby 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. 28 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Note 14:Leases Change in AccountingPrinciple In February 2016,the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).This ASU requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use (ROU)asset on a discounted basis,for substantially all leases,as well as additional disclosures regarding leasing arrangements.Disclosures are required to enableusers of financial statements to assess the amount,timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.In July 2018,the FASB issued ASU 2018-11,Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,which provides an optional transition method of applying the new lease standard.Topic 842 can be applied using either a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presentedor,as permitted by ASU 2018-11,at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted,i.e.,the comparativesunder ASC 840 option. The Company adoptedTopic 842 on January 1,2022 (the effective date),using the comparatives under ASC 840 transition method,which applies Topic 842 at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted.Prior period amounts have not been adjusted in connection with the adoption of this standard.The Company elected the package of practical expedientsunder the new standard,which permits entities to not reassess lease classification,lease identification or initial direct costs for existing or expired leases prior to the effective date.The Company has lease agreementswith nonlease components that relate to the lease components.The Company elected the practical expedient to account for nonlease components and the lease componentsto which they relate as a single lease component for all.Also,the Company electedto keep short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet.The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term for existing leases as of January 1,2022. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $1,839,661 and $1,839,661,respectively,while the accounting for existing capital leases (now referred to as finance leases)remained substantially unchanged.As part of adopting the standard,previously recognized liabilities for deferred rent and lease incentives were reclassified as a component of the ROU assets.The standarddid not significantlyaffect our consolidated statements of operations,comprehensive income or cash flows. AccountingPolicies The Company determines if an arrangementis a lease or contains a lease at inception.Leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheets.ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term,and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease,measuredon a discountedbasis.The Company determines lease classification as operating or finance at the lease commencement date. 29 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 The Company combines lease and nonlease components,such as common area and other maintenance costs,and accounts for them as a single lease component in calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities for its office buildings and employee vehicles. At lease commencement,the lease liability is measuredat the presentvalue of the lease payments over the lease term.The ROU asset equals the lease liability adjustedfor any initial direct costs, prepaid or deferred rent,and lease incentives.The Company has made a policy election to use arisk-free rate (the rate of a zero-coupon U.S.Treasury instrument)for the initial and subsequent measurement of all lease liabilities.The risk-free rate is determined using a period comparable with the lease term. The lease term may include options to extend or to terminate the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.Lease expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheets.Lease expense on such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Nature of Leases The Company has enteredinto the following lease arrangements: Operating Leases The Company's leases consist of vehicles and equipment,office equipment and real estate All Leases The Company has leases with LVER as describedin Note 9.Additionally,the company leases buildings from a company shareholder. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. 30 Rural Telephone Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31,2022 and 2021 Quantitative Disclosures The lease cost and other required information for the years endedDecember 31,2022 and 2021, are: 2022 Lease cost $403,085 2022 Other information Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from finance leases $379,596 Right-of-use assets obtainedin exchange for new operating lease liabilities 1,839,661 Weighted-average remaining lease term Operating leases 7.0 years Weighted-average discount rate Operating leases 1.44% Future minimum lease payments and reconciliation to the consolidated balance sheet at December 31,2022,are as follows: Operating Leases 2023 $401,903 2024 329,480 2025 104,821 2026 102,373 2027 102,373 Thereafter 500,706 Total future undiscountedlease payments 1,541,656 Less imputed interest 82,828 Lease liabilities $1,458,828 Note 15:Subsequent Events Subsequent events have been evaluatedthrough May 5,2023 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 31 Supplementary Information FORVIS 8517 Excelsior Drive,Suite 301 /Madison,WI 53717 P 608.664.9110 /F 608.664.9112 forvis.com IndependentAuditor's Report on Supplementary Information Board of Directors Rural Telephone Company Glenns Ferry,Idaho Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements that collectively comprise the Company's basic financial statements.The supplementary information listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic consolidated financial statements.
