How did the Fund perform in the past year?
For the year ended July 31, 2025, the Fund produced a total return after fees and expenses of 12.50%. This compares to a total return for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Agg") of 3.38% over the same period. The Agg is a broad-based index intended to capture the performance of the investment grade, U.S.-dollar denominated, fixed rate taxable bond market.
The Fund's outperformance relative to the index was driven by several factors, including a general trend towards higher interest rates over the period, a trend towards a steeper yield curve, market volatility, interest income received on the Fund's investments, and general trends in mortgage rates relative to risk-free rates.
What Factors Influenced Performance?
The Fund principally holds mortgage-backed interest-only securities ("MBS IOs"). MBS IOs, receive the interest payments from a pool of mortgage loans, but do not receive any of the principal from those loans. As interest rates rise, the incentive for borrowers to prepay their mortgage tends to decrease. When prepayments decrease, the mortgage loans remain outstanding longer than they would otherwise. When this happens, the MBS IOs held by the Fund remain outstanding for longer, which tends to increase their value. Since interest rates generally trended higher during the period, the value of the Fund's MBS IOs increased.
Mortgage rates generally are set above risk-free rates, such as those on U.S. Treasury securities, and this difference ("spread") varies over time. During the period, the spread on mortgage rates over risk-free rates generally increased, which further depressed prepayment speeds.
During the period under discussion, interest rates had periods of sustained decline as well as periods of sustained increase. The Fund's portfolio managers were able to construct a portfolio of MBS IOs that tended to increase in value when interest rates rose more than they declined in value when interest rates fell by a similar amount. This further contributed to the Fund's outperformance as compared to the index.
Finally, the Fund's investments generated a significant amount of current income, much of which was paid out in the form of dividends on the Fund's shares. For the 12 months ended July 31, 2025, each Fund share received cumulative dividends of $2.07 as compared to an average share price of $35.92 over the period.

How did the Fund perform Since Inception?
Since its inception on January 22, 2025, the Fund delivered a total return of 0.99% after fees and expenses. Over the same period, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ("Agg" or "Index") returned 3.61%.
The Fund's underperformance relative to Agg was primarily attributable to its shorter duration profile during a bond market rally. The Fund is designed to maintain overall risk levels similar to the Index, but does not match its duration at all times. Instead, the Fund's model may favor alternative risk exposures-including spread and mortgage risk-depending on relative value signals.
The main contributions to Fund's returns came from BKLN (bank loans), RISR (MBS IOs), REM (mortgage REIT) and SJNK (short high yield corporates). The Fund's option holdings contributed marginally to current income.

The investment objective of the RISR ETF is to seek to provide current income and protect against rising interest rates. The investment objective of the FIXP ETF is to seek to provide income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
A. | Security Valuation. Equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"), Business Development Companies ("BDCs"), and Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs"), listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the "NASDAQ")), including securities traded over-the-counter ("OTC"), are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on the NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents each day that the Funds are open for business. |
Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and ask prices provided by independent pricing agents. The independent pricing agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities.
Options contracts are valued using the mean/mid of quoted bid and ask spread prices, as provided by independent pricing vendors.
Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is "fair valued," consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser's Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value ("NAV") of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1- | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
Level 2 - | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
Level 3- | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

B. | Derivative Instruments. The RISR ETF may purchase options on bonds or swaps to mitigate the risk of downward movement in interest rates. The FIXP ETF may purchase options on ETFs. As the buyer of a call option, each Fund has a right to buy the underlying reference instrument (e.g., a currency or security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). Each Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. For example, a Fund may buy call options on underlying reference instruments that it intends to buy with the goal of limiting the risk of a substantial increase in their market price before the purchase is effected. Unless the price of the underlying reference instrument changes sufficiently, a call option purchased by a Fund may expire without any value to the Fund, in which case such Fund would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. |

July 31, 2025
As the buyer of a put option, each Fund has the right to sell the underlying reference instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). Like a call option, each Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to put options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. A Fund may buy a put option on an underlying reference instrument owned by the Fund (a protective put) as a hedging technique in an attempt to protect against an anticipated decline in the market value of the underlying reference instrument. Such hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option when a Fund, as the buyer of the put option, is able to sell the underlying reference instrument at the put exercise price, regardless of any decline in the underlying instrument's market price. Each Fund may also seek to offset a decline in the value of the underlying reference instrument through appreciation in the value of the put option. Put options may also be purchased with the intent of protecting unrealized appreciation of an instrument when the Sub-Adviser deems it desirable to continue to hold the instrument because of tax or other considerations. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any short-term capital gain that may be available for distribution when the instrument is eventually sold. Buying put options at a time when the buyer does not own the underlying reference instrument allows the buyer to benefit from a decline in the market price of the underlying reference instrument, which generally increases the value of the put option.
If a put option is not terminated in a closing sale transaction when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying reference instrument remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the buyer would not make any gain upon exercise of the option and would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying reference instrument must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs.
Writing options may permit the writer to generate additional income in the form of the premium received for writing the option. The writer of an option may have no control over when the underlying reference instruments must be sold (in the case of a call option) or purchased (in the case of a put option) because the writer may be notified of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the option (for American style options). In general, though, options are infrequently exercised prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium. Writing "covered" call options means that the writer owns the underlying reference instrument that is subject to the call option. Call options may also be written on reference instruments that the writer does not own.
If a Fund writes a covered call option, any underlying reference instruments that are held by the Fund and are subject to the call option will be earmarked on the books of such Fund as segregated to satisfy its obligations under the option. A Fund will be unable to sell the underlying reference instruments that are subject to the written call option until it either effects a closing transaction with respect to the written call, or otherwise satisfies the conditions for release of the underlying reference instruments from segregation. As the writer of a covered call option, a Fund gives up the potential for capital appreciation above the exercise price of the option should the underlying reference instrument rise in value. If the value of the underlying reference instrument rises above the exercise price of the call option, the reference instrument will likely be "called away," requiring a Fund to sell the underlying instrument at the exercise price. In that case, the Fund will sell the underlying reference instrument to the option buyer for less than its market value, and such Fund will experience a loss (which will be offset by the premium received by the Fund as the writer of such option). If a call option expires unexercised, the Funds will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received. If the market price of the underlying reference instrument decreases, the call option will not be exercised and the Funds will be able to use the amount of the premium received to hedge against the loss in value of the underlying reference instrument. The exercise price of a call option will be chosen based upon the expected price movement of the underlying reference instrument. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to (at-the-money), or above the current value of the underlying reference instrument at the time the option is written. An option on a bond or swap gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing value of the underlying bond or swap is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option.

To achieve its Duration Target Range, the RISR ETF may also invest, to a lesser extent, in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") coupon swaps and MBS inverse interest-only tranches ("Inverse IOs"). MBS coupon swaps are transactions that involve the sale of one MBS and the simultaneous purchase of another MBS, which may be with different agencies and have different coupon payments. Inverse IOs are also funded through interest-only payments, however, an Inverse IO is a leveraged position and the payment received is adjusted based on the current level of a floating interest rate. Inverse IOs are created from a structured collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") where the coupon formula is determined based on the difference between the underlying CMO tranche coupon and a floating rate (e.g., 1-month SOFR), subject to a floor. The resulting coupon payment is based on the principal balance of the underlying CMO tranche. An Inverse IO, therefore, will exhibit a combination of its coupon rate declining as short-term interest rates rise (and vice versa for falling short-term interest rates) along with sensitivity to prepayments as the present value of interest cash flows will increase as prepayments decline (and vice versa for rising prepayment rates). Since both prepayment and yield curve components increase the risk of Inverse IOs, they will be utilized infrequently and only when valuations are determined by the Sub-Adviser to be attractive.
C. | Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of securities held by a Fund subject to its agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. Reverse repurchase agreements are subject to each Fund's limitation on borrowings and may be entered into only with banks or securities dealers or their affiliates. While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, each Fund will maintain the segregation, either on its records or with its custodian bank, of cash or other liquid securities, marked-to-market daily, in an amount at least equal to its obligations under the reverse repurchase agreement. |
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by the Fund might be unable to deliver them when a Fund seeks to repurchase. If the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the buyer or trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund's use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision. The FIXP ETF did not make any interest payments under reverse repurchase agreements during the period ended July 31, 2025. The RISR ETF made interest payments in the amount of $39,696 and a weighted average daily interest rate of 5.85% under reverse repurchase agreements during the year ended July 31, 2025.
D. | Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to RICs, each Fund intends to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years. As a RIC, each Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if a Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use a Fund's fiscal year). Each Fund generally intends to distribute income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize (but not necessarily eliminate) the imposition of such excise tax. The Funds may retain income or capital gains and pay excise tax when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of shareholders. Management evaluates the costs of the excise tax relative to the benefits of retaining income and capital gains, including that such undistributed amounts (net of the excise tax paid) remain available for investment by the Funds and are available to supplement future distributions. Tax expense is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable.
As of July 31, 2025, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.
E. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Gains and losses from paydowns on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. |

July 31, 2025
F. | Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the Funds are declared and paid at least monthly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for the Funds normally are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
G. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
H. | Share Valuation. The NAV per Share is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of Shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. Fund Shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed for trading. |
I. | Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
J. | Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the "Program") that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund's net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If a Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by the Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund's net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program. |
K. | Derivatives Transactions. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the SEC imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as senior securities. Under Rule 18f-4, a fund's derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund's board of trustees, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivative Risk Management Program that complies with Rule 18f-4. |
L. | Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications are primarily due to redemptions in-kind. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per Share. For the periods ended July 31, 2025, the following reclassification adjustments were made: |
Total Distributable | ||||||||
Paid-In | Earnings/(Accumulated | |||||||
Fund | Capital | Losses) | ||||||
RISR ETF | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | ||||
FIXP ETF | $ | (9,605 | ) | $ | 9,605 |
During the fiscal periods ended July 31, 2025, the FIXP ETF realized $9,605 in net capital losses resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund Shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such losses are deductible to the Fund, they have been reclassified from accumulated losses to paid-in capital.

NOTE 3 - PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
A. | Affiliated ETF Risk (FIXP ETF Only). The Sub-Adviser acts as investment sub-adviser to one or more of the fixed-income market ETFs, and receives sub-advisory fees and profits generated by such ETFs ("Affiliated ETFs"). It is possible that a conflict of interest among the Fund and the Affiliated ETFs could affect how the Sub-Adviser fulfills its fiduciary duties to the Fund and the Affiliated ETFs. The Sub-Adviser may have a conflict of interest in allocating Fund assets among Affiliated ETFs and unaffiliated ETFs. In addition, the Sub-Adviser may have an incentive to consider the effect on an Affiliated ETF in which the Fund may invest in determining whether, and under what circumstances, to purchase or sell shares in that Affiliated ETF. Although the Sub-Adviser takes steps to address the conflicts of interest, it is possible that the conflicts could impact the Fund. |
B. | Associated Risk of Investing in Mortgage-Backed Interest Only Securities. The value of interest-only mortgage-backed securities ("MBS IOs") is more volatile than other types of mortgage-related securities. They are very sensitive not only to declining interest rates, but also to the rate of prepayments. MBS IOs involve the risk that borrowers may default on their mortgage obligations or the guarantees underlying the MBSs will default or otherwise fail and that, during periods of falling interest rates, MBSs will be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. In addition, because there may be a drop in trading volume, or an inability to find a ready buyer, MBS IOs may be illiquid. In response to changes in interest rates or other market conditions, the value of an MBS Inverse IOs may decrease at a multiple of the decrease in the value of the underlying securities. If interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the Sub-Adviser, the Fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment in Inverse IOs. |
C. | Bond Sector Focus Risk (FIXP ETF Only). The Fund primarily invests in Bond Sector ETFs (as defined in the Fund's prospectus), which focus on specific sectors of the fixed income market. Sector concentration can increase the Fund's exposure to risks associated with those sectors, including changes in interest rates, liquidity, and economic conditions affecting those markets. |
D. | Credit Risk. An issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or loan of portfolio securities will be unable or unwilling to make its timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in their credit ratings. There is the chance that each Fund's portfolio holdings will have their credit ratings downgraded or will default (i.e., fail to make scheduled interest or principal payments), potentially reducing each Fund's income level or Share price. |
E. | Derivatives Risk. Each Fund's derivative instruments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets or index; the loss of principal, including the potential loss of amounts greater than the initial amount invested in the derivative instrument; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative instruments. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, each Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The derivatives used by the Funds may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. Certain of the Funds' transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing, and character of distributions to shareholders, which may result in the Funds' realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than they would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Funds' after-tax returns. |
● | Options Risk (FIXP ETF Only). Options enable the Fund to purchase exposure that is significantly greater than the premium paid. Consequently, the value of such options can be volatile, and a small investment in options can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund risks losing all or part of the cash paid (premium) for purchasing options. Even a small decline in the value of a reference asset underlying call options or a small increase in the value of a reference asset underlying put options can result in the entire investment in such options being lost. By writing call and put options in return for the receipt of premiums, the Fund will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases (for call options) or decreases (for put options) in the value of the underlying Bond Sector ETF above (for call options) or below (for put options) the exercise prices of the written options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines (for call options) or increases (for put options) in the value of the underlying Bond Sector ETF. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the underlying Bond Sector ETF over time. This risk is elevated for uncovered options since the Fund does not hold an offsetting position, which could result in a loss significantly larger than the option premium received by the Fund. |

● | Options Risk (RISR ETF Only). Options enable the Fund to purchase exposure that is significantly greater than the premium paid. Consequently, the value of such options can be volatile, and a small investment in options can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund risks losing all or part of the cash paid (premium) for purchasing options. Even a small decline in the value of a reference asset underlying call options or a small increase in the value of a reference asset underlying put options can result in the entire investment in such options being lost. Additionally, the value of the option may be lost if the Sub-Adviser fails to exercise such option at or prior to its expiration. |
● | Swap Agreements Risk (RISR ETF Only). Swap agreements are entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period, which may range from one day to more than six months. The derivative transactions in which the Fund invests are generally traded in the OTC market, which generally has less transparency than exchange-traded derivatives instruments. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference assets or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities representing a particular sector or index. |
F. | ETF Risks. |
● | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. Each Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Funds (known as "Authorized Participants" or "APs"). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. |
● | Cash Redemption Risk. Each Fund's investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Funds may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Funds (e.g., derivative instruments and bonds that cannot be broken up beyond certain minimum sizes needed for transfer and settlement). In such a case, the Funds may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Funds to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Funds may have less cash efficiency and pay out higher annual capital gain distributions to shareholders than if the in-kind redemption process was used. |
● | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. |
● | Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. |
● | Trading. Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Funds' underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. These adverse effects on liquidity for Shares, in turn, could lead to wider bid - ask spreads and differences between the market price of Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. |
G. | Fixed Income Risk. The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to changes in an issuer's credit rating or market perceptions about the creditworthiness of an issuer. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Changes in government intervention may have adverse effects on investments, volatility, and illiquidity in debt markets. These changes could cause each Fund's NAV to fluctuate or make it more difficult for the Funds to accurately value its securities. How specific fixed income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. |

Notes to the Financial Statements | FolioBeyond ETFs |
July 31, 2025
H. | General Market Risk. Securities markets and individual securities will increase or decrease in value. Security prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to market or economic news and conditions, and securities markets also tend to move in cycles. If there is a general decline in the securities markets, it is possible your investment may lose value regardless of the individual results of the companies in which the Funds invest. The magnitude of up and down price or market fluctuations over time is sometimes referred to as "volatility," and it can be significant. In addition, different asset classes and geographic markets may experience periods of significant correlation with each other. As a result of this correlation, the securities and markets in which the Funds invest may experience volatility due to market, economic, political or social events and conditions that may not readily appear to directly relate to such securities, the securities' issuer or the markets in wh ich they trade. |
I. | Government Securities Risk (RISR ETF Only). The Fund invests in U.S. Treasury obligations and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. |
J. | High-Yield Securities Risk (FIXP ETF Only). Securities rated below-investment-grade are often referred to as high-yield securities or "junk bonds." Investments in lower-rated corporate-debt securities typically entail greater price volatility and principal and income risk. High-yield securities may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities. The prices of high-yield securities have been found to be more sensitive to adverse economic downturns or individual corporate developments. A projection of an economic downturn or of a period of rising interest rates, for example, could cause a decline in high-yield security prices because the advent of a recession could lessen the ability of a highly leveraged company to make principal and interest payments on its debt securities. If an issuer of high-yield securities defaults, in addition to risking payment of all or a portion of interest and principal, the Fund by investing in such securities may incur additional expenses to obtain recovery. |
K. | Interest Rate Risk. Generally, the value of fixed income securities (not including MBS IOs with respect to the RISR ETF) will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities tends to increase. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term securities. In addition, the interest rates payable on floating-rate securities are not fixed and may fluctuate based upon changes in market rates. The interest rate on a floating-rate security is a variable rate which is tied to another interest rate. Floating-rate securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. |
L. | Leverage Risk (FIXP ETF Only). The Fund's options strategy may involve leverage, as the notional value (the total value of the underlying assets controlled by the options) of the options may exceed the Fund's assets. The Fund may have a maximum notional exposure of up to 150% of its net assets through its option positions. Leverage can amplify losses, particularly during periods of market volatility. |
M. | Management Risk. Each Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objectives based on the Sub-Adviser's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Funds. |
N. | MBS Risk (FIXP ETF Only). MBS may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates and economic conditions, including delinquencies and defaults. The prices of MBS, depending on their structure and the rate of payments, can be volatile. They are subject to prepayment risk (higher than expected prepayment rates of mortgage obligations due to a fall in market interest rates) and extension risk (lower than expected prepayment rates of mortgage obligations due to a rise in market interest rates). These risks increase the Fund's overall interest rate risk. Some MBS receive government agency or private support, but there is no assurance that such support will remain in place. Non-agency MBS are subject to heightened risks as compared to agency MBS, including that non-agency MBS are not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those MBS that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee. |

Notes to the Financial Statements | FolioBeyond ETFs |
July 31, 2025
O. | Models and Data Risk. The composition of each Fund's portfolio is dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties ("Models and Data").When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities from each Funds' portfolio universe that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete. |
P. | Municipal Securities Risk (FIXP ETF Only). Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer's ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Certain municipalities may have difficulty meeting their obligations due to, among other reasons, changes in underlying demographics. |
Q. | New Fund Risk (FIXP ETF Only). The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. |
R. | Options Overlay Risk (FIXP ETF Only). The Fund's use of options involves various risks, including the risk that the options strategy may not provide the desired increase in income or may result in losses. Selling call and put options exposes the Fund to potentially significant losses if market movements are unfavorable. The Fund may also experience additional volatility and risk due to changes in implied volatility (the market's forecast of future volatility), strike prices, and market conditions. The Fund may sell options on instruments other than the Fund's Bond Sector ETFs. This can expose the Fund to the risk that options can vary in price in ways that do not correspond to the Bond Sector ETFs held by the Fund, so called basis-risk. While the vast majority of option contracts are sold prior to expiration, some in-the-money options contracts are exercised. It is possible that the Fund could be subject to such exercise notices and would have to acquire the underlying reference asset in the marketplace, at the then prevailing market price, which could generate a profit or a loss depending on the relationship between the reference asset and the Bond Sector ETF actually held by the Fund. The majority of the Fund's options activity will involve selling or "writing" options in exchange for receipt of a premium from the buyer. From time to time, however, the Fund may also buy options as a risk management tool. Options bought and sold, even on the same underlying instrument, can move in unpredictable ways, and there can be no assurance that such buys and sells will achieve the Sub-Adviser's risk management goals. |
S. | Other Investment Companies/Underlying ETF Risks. Each Fund will incur higher and duplicative expenses because it invests in Underlying ETFs (as defined in each Fund's prospectus). There is also the risk that the Funds may suffer losses due to the investment practices of the Underlying ETFs. The Funds will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of securities held by the Underlying ETFs. Additionally, the market price of the shares of an Underlying ETF in which each Fund invests will fluctuate based on changes in the NAV as well as changes in the supply and demand of its shares in the secondary market. It is also possible that an active secondary market for an Underlying E TF's shares may not develop, and market trading in the shares of the Underlying ETF may be halted under certain circumstances. |
Underlying ETFs are also subject to the "ETF Risks" described above.
T. | Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, each Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. Each Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. |
U. | Short Position Risk (FIXP ETF Only). The Fund's short positions in options (selling options without owning the underlying asset) carry significant risk, as potential losses can be theoretically unlimited if market conditions move unfavorably. For example, a short call option could lead to a loss if the price of the Underlying ETF (as defined in the Fund's prospectus) rises sharply, forcing the Fund to purchase the ETF at a much higher price to fulfill the contract. |
V. | Sovereign Debt Risk (FIXP ETF Only). These investments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt, due to, for example, cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of the governmental entity's debt position in relation to the economy or the failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for additional time or restructuring of existing loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid may be collected. These risks are more pronounced in emerging market countries. |

W. | U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk (FIXP ETF Only). U.S. government obligations include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, such as the U.S. Treasury. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. In the latter case, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, which agency or instrumentality may be privately owned. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so. |
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds (the "Advisory Agreement"), and, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, provides investment advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and oversight of the Board. The Adviser is also responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to the supervision of the Board. The Adviser provides oversight of the Sub-Adviser and review of the Sub-Adviser's performance.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee (the "Investment Advisory Fee") based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:
Fund | Investment Advisory Fee | |
RISR ETF | 0.99% | |
FIXP ETF | 0.70% |
The advisory fee payable to the Adviser shall be reduced by 0.08% on any assets of the FIXP ETF that are invested in the RISR ETF. Any amount waived with respect to an investment in RISR ETF is contractual and not eligible for reimbursement to the Adviser. Accordingly, the Adviser waived the following fees for the year ended July 31, 2025.
Fund | Amount Waived | |
FIXP ETF | $1,141 |
Out of the Investment Advisory Fees, the Adviser is obligated to pay or arrange for the payment of substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other related services necessary for the Funds to operate. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay, or require the Sub-Adviser to pay, all expenses incurred by each Fund except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (collectively, "Excluded Expenses"), and the Investment Advisory Fees payable to the Adviser. The Investment Advisory Fees incurred are paid monthly to the Adviser. Investment Advisory Fees for the periods ended July 31, 2025 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
The Sub-Adviser serves as investment sub-adviser to the Funds, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"). Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund's portfolio, including determining the securities purchased and sold by the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. The Sub-Adviser is paid a fee by the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.02% of each Fund's average daily net assets (the "Sub-Advisory Fee"). The Sub-Adviser has agreed to assume the Adviser's obligation to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds except for the Sub-Advisory Fee and Excluded Expenses. For assuming the payment obligations for the Funds, the Adviser has agreed to pay the Sub-Adviser the profits, if any, generated by the Funds' Investment Advisory Fees, less a contractual fee retained by the Adviser. Expenses incurred by the Funds and paid by the Sub-Adviser include fees charged by Tidal (defined below), which is an affiliate of the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser has agreed to waive the sub-advisory fee with respect to any assets of the FIXP ETF that are invested in the RISR ETF.

Tidal ETF Services LLC ("Tidal"), a Tidal Financial Group company and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Funds' administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and management services for the Funds. Tidal coordinates the payment of Fund-related expenses and manages the Trust's relationships with its various service providers. As compensation for the services it provides, Tidal receives a fee based on each Fund's average daily net assets, subject to a minimum annual fee. Tidal also is entitled to certain out-of-pocket expenses for the services mentioned above.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services ("Fund Services"), serves as the Funds' sub-administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities, Fund Services performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. Fund Services prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Board; and monitors the activities of the Funds' custodian. U.S. Bank N.A. (the "Custodian"), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds' custodian.
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") acts as the Funds' principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds' Shares.
Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser. Neither the affiliated trustee nor the Trust's officers receive compensation from the Funds.
NOTE 5 - SEGMENT REPORTING
In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, the Funds have evaluated their business activities and determined that they each operate as a single reportable segment.
Each Fund's investment activities are managed by the Adviser, which serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Adviser is responsible for assessing each Fund's financial performance and allocating resources. In making these assessments, the Adviser evaluates each Fund's financial results on an aggregated basis, rather than by separate segments. As such, the Funds do not allocate operating expenses or assets to multiple segments, and accordingly, no additional segment disclosures are required. There were no intra-entity sales or transfers during the reporting period.
The Funds primarily generate income through dividends, interest, and realized/unrealized gains on their investment portfolios. Expenses incurred, including management fees, Fund operating expenses, and transaction costs, are considered general Fund-level expenses and are not allocated to specific segments or business lines.
Management has determined that the Funds do not meet the criteria for disaggregated segment reporting under ASU 2023-07 and will continue to evaluate its reporting requirements in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

The RISR ETF utilized $205,073 of short-term capital losses during the year ended July 31, 2025.
NOTE 9 - CREDIT FACILITY
U.S. Bank N.A. has made available to the RISR ETF a credit facility pursuant to a Loan Agreement for temporary or extraordinary purposes. Credit facility details for the year ended July 31, 2025, were as follows:
Maximum available credit | $50,000,000 |
Largest amount outstanding on an individual day | $1,562,000 |
Average daily loan outstanding | $466,143 |
Credit facility outstanding as of July 31, 2025 | - |
Average interest rate, when in use | 8.05% |
Interest rate terms | Prime |
Interest rate as of July 31, 2025 | 7.50% |
Expiration date | June 24, 2026 |
Interest expense incurred for the year ended July 31, 2025 is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. The credit facility is an uncommitted, senior secured 364-day umbrella line of credit used for the benefit of certain funds within the Trust. For the year ended July 31, 2025, the interest expense due to borrowings was $2,090.
The maximum available credit is disclosed at the Trust level. The Fund's ability to borrow is therefore limited by borrowings of other funds within the Trust which are party to the agreement and to one-third of the Fund's total assets.
NOTE 10 - SHARES TRANSACTIONS
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Exchange. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of Shares, called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the Shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for each Fund is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds' Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units and Redemption Units of up to a maximum of 0.10% for the RISR ETF and 2% for the FIXP ETF of the value of the Creation Units and Redemption Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of Shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All Shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

NOTE 11 - RECENT MARKET EVENTS
U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks' interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, armed conflict, war, and geopolitical conflict. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Effective August 1, 2025, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as Global Fund Services, no longer serves as the Sub-Administrator for each series of the Trust. Management has determined that there are no other subsequent events that would need to be recognized or disclosed in the Funds' financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. 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 Funds 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 audits 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 statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
