Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in compliance with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 (\$ in 000s) Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred taxes for the tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying the enacted tax rates to the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it determines it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. For federal income taxes, the Company records current tax benefits and deferred tax assets utilizing a benefits-forloss approach. Under this approach, current benefits are realized and deferred tax assets are considered realizable by the Company when realized or realizable by the consolidated group of which the Company is a member, even if the benefits would not be realized on a stand-alone basis. The Company records a valuation allowance for federal deferred tax assets if it determines it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized by the consolidated group. For state income taxes, current benefits are realized and deferred tax assets are considered realizable by the Company when realized or realizable as determined on a stand-alone basis. Segment Reporting - The Company operates as a single reportable business segment based on its unified business model focused on providing advisory services to credit unions and their members. This determination was based on the manner in which management uses financial information to evaluate business performance and ormance of CBSI as a whole and does not consider individual product lines or services as separate segments. The CODM primarily uses net Net income (loss) reflects the Company's overall profitability, encompassing all revenues and expenses, as reported results, which allows for the CODM to monitor CBSI's financial performance against budgeted results. The CODM reviews the expenses on the statement of income (loss) and has concluded those are the significant segment expenses. commission and fee revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company operates in a single geographic area, and all of its revenues are generated from customers located in the United States. CBSI does not engage in any intra-entity sales or transfers. financial statements. {13}------------------------------------------------ # Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Update ### ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures The Company adopted the new standard for the year ended December 31, 2025, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about the Company's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. # Accounting Standards Updates Pending Adoption ### ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures In 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220). The standard requires public business entities to disaggregate certain functional expense captions by the nature of the expense (e.g., employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and rent). It also requires a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Adoption may be implemented on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our required expense disclosures in the financial statements. {14}------------------------------------------------ ### Note 3: Investments # Debt Securities The amortized cost and estimated fair values of debt securities at December 31, 2025 are as follows: | | Amortized

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of assets into three broad levels. The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, as follows: - Level 1: Inputs are directly observable and represent quoted prices for identical assets in active markets the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. - Level 2: All significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset. This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. - assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk. market participants in valuing financial instruments, which are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In some instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The hierarchy requires the use of market observable information when available for measuring fair value. The availability of observable inputs varies by investment. {16}------------------------------------------------ ### Valuation Process The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company gains assurance on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies and inputs and compliance with accounting standards through the execution of various processes The Company has policies and guidelines that require the establishment of valuation methodologies and consistent application of such methodologies. These policies and guidelines govern the use of inputs and price source hierarchies and provide controls around the valuation processes. These controls include appropriate review and analysis of prices against market activity or indicators of reasonableness, approval of price source changes, price overrides, methodology changes and classification of fair value hierarchy levels.
