### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

Board of Directors and Stockholder Country Club Financial Services, Inc. Kansas City, Missouri

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Country Club Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") a wholly owned subsidiary of Country Club Bank, as of December 31, 2021, including the related notes ( collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2013.

#### **Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

#### **Nature of Operations**

Country Club Financial Services, Inc. ("the Company") is a limited services securities broker that provides investment banking services, the sale of fixed insurance and annuity products, and sells institutional non-interest fee income products under its own name and also under the names of Wheatland Advisors, Country Club Capital Advisors and The Capital Corporation. The Company employs 13 registered representatives at offices in 3 locations in Kansas and Missouri. The Company is licensed in 2 states, and is a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the state agencies. The firm is also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is subject to the net capital requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-l and is exempt from the reserve requirements and possession or control requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-3.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Country Club Bank ("Parent"), and the Parent is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCB Financial Corporation ("Holding Company"); as such, the Company files a consolidated S corporation income tax return with both its Parent and the Holding Company.

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### **Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2021 cash equivalents consisted primarily of a money market account with an unaffiliated institution.

#### **Income Taxes**

The Company's Parent and Holding Company have elected S-corporation status for the consolidated group. The Holding Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by taxing authorities before 2018.

#### **Note 3: Net Capital Requirements**

| Net capital ratio            |      | 0.0134 to 1 |  |

#### **Note 4: Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

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 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 Observable inputs 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 observable market 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
