(1) ORGANIZATION
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the "Trust") was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Rareview 2x Bull Cryptocurrency & Precious Metals ETF (the "Fund"). The Fund is a non-diversified actively-managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the "Board") are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. ("Cboe"). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value ("NAV"). The Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 10,000 Shares, called Creation Units ("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 in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("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 DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC (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 Fund.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies", including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A.
Investment Valuations. The Fund holds investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Fund's securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to Rareview Capital, LLC (the "Advisor") as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Fund would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rareview 2x Bull CryptoCurrency & Precious Metals ETF
Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements
September 30, 2025(Continued)
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various "inputs" used to determine the value of the Fund's investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 -
Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 -
Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Common stocks and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day's last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the ETF is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Swap agreements and other derivatives are generally valued daily depending on the type of instrument and reference assets based upon market prices, at the mean between bid and asked price quotations from market makers, provided by a pricing service at a price received from the counterparty to the swap, and are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
The Fund did not hold any Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2025.
The following table provides the fair value measurement as of September 30, 2025, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments:

B.
Security Transactions and Related Income. Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities' gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non- U.S. sources received by the Fund is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which it invests.
C.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund intends to distribute to their shareholders any net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
In addition, the Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net asset value per share.
D.
Allocation of Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
E.
Derivative Instruments. All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Swap Contracts:
The Fund may enter into total return swap contracts, which may be used either as economically similar substitutes for owning the reference asset specified in the swap, such as the securities that comprise a given market index, particular securities or commodities, or other assets or indicators. They also may be used as a means of obtaining exposure in markets where the reference asset is unavailable or it may otherwise be impossible or impracticable for the Fund to own that asset. "Total return" refers to the payment (or receipt) of the total return on the underlying reference asset, which is then exchanged for the receipt (or payment) of an interest rate. Total return swaps provide the Fund with the additional flexibility of gaining exposure to a market or sector index in a potentially more economical way.
Most swaps entered into by the Fund provide for the calculation and settlement of the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis" with a single payment. Consequently, the Fund's current obligations (or rights) under a swap will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount"). Other swaps may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the return on the reference entity. The Fund's current obligations under the types of swaps that the Fund expects to enter into (e.g., total return swaps) will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund by the counterparty to the swap) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be collateralized by the Fund posting collateral to a tri-party account between the Fund's custodian, the Fund, and the counterparty. However, typically no payments will be made until the settlement date.

Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, if a swap is entered into on a net basis and if the counterparty to a swap agreement defaults, the Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any.
The following table presents the Fund's gross total return swap assets and liabilities by counterparty and contract type, net of amounts available for the offset under a master netting agreement and the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of September 30, 2025.

As stated in the Fund's Offering Documents, the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify, the size of the Fund's investment in the Subsidiary should not exceed 25% of the Fund's total assets at each quarter end of the Fund's fiscal year.
On September 30, 2025, the Fund's ownership of the shares of the Subsidiary exceeded the 25% regulated investment company restriction. The Advisor acknowledged the test's failure at year end and took corrective actions to maintain the Fund's regulated investment company status. These actions reduced the Fund's investment in the Subsidiary below 25% and will include the payment of a corrective excise tax estimated to be $241,000. The Advisor intends to reimburse the Fund for the expense of the corrective excise tax. These corrective actions are anticipated to maintain the Fund's regulated investment company status.

(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
As of and during the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

(7) INVESTMENT RISKS
ETF Risk. The NAV of the Fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, the Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund's shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund's shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund's shares may be halted if the listing exchange's officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide "circuit breakers" (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, tariffs and trade wars, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.
Additional investment risks are outlined in the Fund's prospectus.
