INSPIRE ETF ANNUAL REPORT
SHAREHOLDER LETTER (unaudited) |
Dear Shareholders:
We are honored and privileged to present you with the Annual Report for the Inspire Investing suite of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) as of November 30, 2022.
With a slowing economy, the highest inflation numbers in four decades and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates at an accelerated rate over the past year we have seen the much anticipated correction in the equity markets turn into a true bear market. Not all the headwinds are resolved, but we are exceedingly grateful to look back at 2022 and see the protection and provision that God gave us at Inspire, as well as our advisors and clients. We could not do what we do without you and we sincerely appreciate the trust you have placed in Inspire by investing in one or more of the ETFs.
BLES – Inspire Global Hope ETF
As the global economy slowed down due to high inflation and increased interest rates, BLES participated in the market correction with negative returns over the past twelve months ended November 30, 2022. BLES has a target weight of 50% US Large Cap stocks, 40% international developed markets stocks and 10% emerging markets stocks. The US markets along with the international and emerging markets all slipped into bear market territory during the year but rallied to finish the fiscal year just outside the correction threshold of down -10% or more. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, BLES was down -8.54% on a market price basis and -8.59% on the NAV. Since inception (2-27-2017) BLES has an annualized return of 8.14% on a market price basis and 8.09 on the NAV.
ISMD – Inspire Small/Mid Cap ETF
The small cap and mid cap markets actually outperformed the large cap market for the year by being down less. Even with the small cap and mid cap markets outperforming the large cap markets they fell short of positive returns. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, ISMD returned -4.07% on a market price basis and -3.34% on the NAV. Since inception (2-27-2017), ISMD has an annualized return of 7.36% on a market price basis and 7.49% on the NAV.
IBD – Inspire Corporate Bond ETF
The Federal Reserve jumped off the sidelines and initiated the most aggressive interest rate increase path over the past year that we have seen in quite some time as well as trimming their balance sheet at the same time. Due to rising inflation and a slowing economy, interest rates rose dramatically during the year across the yield curve manifesting in negative total returns for IBD over the past fiscal year. We believe interest rates will continue to move upward for the next 6 months but should peak in early 2023. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, IBD returned -9.20% on a market price basis and -9.64% on the NAV. Since inception (7-10-2017), IBD has an annualized return of 0.36% on a market price basis and 0.31% on the NAV.
1
BIBL – Inspire 100 ETF
BIBL has 100 US Large Cap positions that are capitalization weighted and is designed to give advisors and investors a biblically responsible alternative to the popular market cap weighted
funds that are so prevalent in the marketplace (i.e. SPY or VOO). BIBL suffered along with the correction in the US and global markets and suffered double-digit negative returns this year. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, BIBL was down -14.85% on a market price basis and -14.69% on the NAV. Since inception (10-30-2017) BIBL has an annualized return of 9.61% on a market price basis and 9.64% on the NAV.
WWJD – Inspire International ETF
WWJD reached its 3rd anniversary on 9-30-2022 and holds approximately 200 stocks with an 80% exposure to international developed markets and 20% to emerging markets. Although the international and emerging markets participated in the global market correction along with the US large cap markets, the performance has been in line with expectations given the global market pullback. We believe the global economy will recover in the coming couple of years and the international and emerging markets should play a more positive role in portfolios in 2023. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, WWJD was down -9.34% on a market price basis and -9.32% on the NAV. Since inception (9-30-2019), WWJD has an annualized return of 7.95% on a market price basis and 7.69% on the NAV.
RISN – Inspire Tactical Balanced ETF
RISN was launched in the middle of the pandemic on 7-15-2020 and now has more than two full years of history. RISN holds an 80% exposure to US large cap stocks and 20% to US fixed income during normal market condition but is adjusted to a neutral allocation of 50% US large cap stocks/50% US fixed income or a conservative allocation of 20% US large cap stocks/80% US fixed income when deemed appropriate by the portfolio managers. RISN has been in a very defensive/conservative allocation most of the fiscal year due to the risk metrics seen during the market correction/bear market. It is possible for the fund to transition toward the normal market allocation targets in 2023 but that will depend on how the market and economy move in the next few months. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, RISN was down -14.56% on a market price basis and -14.63% on the NAV. Since inception (7-15-2020), RISN has an annualized return of 3.40% on a market price basis and 3.36% on the NAV.
GLRY – Inspire Faithward Mid Cap Momentum ETF
GLRY was launched as an active fund in the mid cap momentum space. GLRY will hold between 35 and 45 stocks that have a market capitalization between $3 billion and $13 billion and that the portfolio managers believe have the best opportunity for outperformance in the near term. GLRY utilizes a dual screening approach that overlays a quantitative investment screening process, called FEVRR, on top of the Inspire Impact Score methodology, which identifies some of the most inspiring, biblically aligned companies in the world. The FEVRR process screens companies based on financial health, earnings trends, valuation, relative strength, and risk to find high-quality stocks with strong earning potential. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2022, GLRY was down -14.07% on a market price basis and -13.89% on the NAV. Since inception (12-07-2020), GLRY has an annualized return of 0.49% on a market price basis and 0.53% on the NAV.
FDLS – Inspire Fidelis Multi Factor ETF
FDLS was launched on 8-23-2022 as a globally diversified fund with exposure to companies across the large cap, mid cap, small cap and micro space as well as international developed and emerging markets. FDLS holds 100 positions to replicate the holdings and weights of the WI Fidelis Multi-Cap, Multi-Factor Index. In addition to using the Inspire Impact Score as one of the factors, the index also incorporates fundamental and quantitative factor analysis to select the constituents on a quarterly rebalancing
2
schedule. Since FDLS has less than twelve months of history as of November 30, 2022, the performance since inception (8-23-2022), is 4.69% on a market price basis and 4.33% on the NAV.
Closing Comments
2022 has been another challenging year as the world saw a slowing economy, rising interest rates, high inflation and continued geo-political tensions that have brought on a global correction in the capital markets. Some believe this is a bear market that isnt ready to go into hibernation yet. We have all been subject to some difficulties this year but we are thankful to God our Father for His provision and protection. We pray the Lord has protected and provided for you and your family and will keep you safe and healthy in the coming year. We are also grateful to be part of the mission of making a positive impact in the world through these ETFs alongside you, our brothers and sisters in Christ and fellow shareholders.
Even with the many challenges mentioned above we hope that we can return to a more normal year in 2023. The bottom line is that - God is Sovereign, and our trust is in Him, not in politicians or the markets.
Thank you again for being shareholders, but more importantly thank you for being co-workers with us in making a positive impact in the world by inspiring transformation for Gods Glory.
May the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ our Lord be with you in 2023.
Sincerely,
Darrell Jayroe
Senior Portfolio Manager

The views in this report were those of the Author as of November 30, 2022 and may not reflect their views on the date that this report is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to assist shareholders in understanding their investments and do not constitute investment advice.
Inspire, the Adviser, provides certain indices that the Inspire ETFs track. The indices use software that analyzes publicly available data relating to the primary business activities, products and services, philanthropy, legal activities, policies, and practices when assigning Inspire Impact Scores to a company. The securities with the highest Inspire Impact Scores are included in the indices and are equally weighted. As an ETF may not fully replicate its index, it is subject to the risk that investment management strategy may not produce the intended results. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their objective, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.
Biblically Responsible Investment Risk. The Funds utilize related biblical values screening criteria in selecting its component securities. As a result of its strategy, a Funds exclusion of securities of certain issuers for nonfinancial reasons may cause the Fund to forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these criteria. This could be due to biblically responsible companies falling out of favor with investors or failing to perform as well as companies that do not screen favorably.

ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large creation unit aggregations. Instead, investors must buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a stockbroker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. Each Fund may focus its investments in securities of a particular industry to the extent its Index does. This may cause the Funds net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular industry.
BLES, ISMD, IBD, BIBL, WWJD and FDLS are not actively managed and the adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the index as addressed in the index methodology. Tracking error may occur because of imperfect correlation between the Funds holdings of portfolio securities and those in the index. The use of a representative sampling approach could result in a fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the index. To the extent the assets in the Funds are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Funds adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund until at least March 31, 2023 to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets. This fee waiver and expense reimbursement is subject to possible recoupment from the Fund if such recoupment does not cause the Funds expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both: (i) the Funds expense cap in place at the time such expenses were waived, and (ii) the Funds current expense cap at the time of recoupment. This agreement may be terminated by the Board of Trustees only on 60 days written notice to the Funds adviser. The Funds total annual operating expenses (gross) are 0.42% per the March 30, 2022 prospectus.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies including FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-08.
Securities valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined or, in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (NOCP). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid

and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees (the Board) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as odd lots and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as round lots. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value (NAV).
The Funds may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities are valued using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has designated the adviser as its valuation designee (the Valuation Designee) to execute these procedures. The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that affects the value thereof has occurred (a significant event) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Funds calculation of its NAV. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Funds holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of
118
The Inspire ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
Securities Lending Risk – Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process), gap risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees a Fund has agreed to pay a borrower), and credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. In the event a borrower does not return a Funds securities as agreed, the Fund may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities.
Fixed Income Risk – When a Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. 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. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments) . These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by each Fund, possibly causing the Funds share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.
Foreign Securities Risk – Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same regulatory requirements of U.S. companies thereby resulting in less publicly available information about these companies. The lack of readily available public information may lead to inaccurate Inspire Impact Scores. Not all countries and jurisdictions monitor or regulate Inspire Impact Score factors so that there may be no relevant information available for certain factors. In addition, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally differ from those applicable to U.S. companies.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
119
The Inspire ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
November 30, 2022
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 in 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 value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure 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.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 for the Funds assets measured at value:

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for BLES, ISMD, BIBL, WWJD, RISN, GLRY and FDLS and monthly for IBD. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature,
121
The Inspire ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable countrys tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdictions legal obligation to pay reclaims, as well as payment history and market convention. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxation related to capital gains on the sale of securities in the foreign jurisdictions in which they invest. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that may be payable if securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Funds tax position and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years or expected to be taken in each Funds November 30, 2022 year-end tax return. Each Fund identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. Each Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. 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 in the next twelve months.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are generally a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust.
Cash – The Funds consider their investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.

Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains and losses on the purchase and sale of foreign currencies and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. 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 risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
The business activities of the Funds are overseen by the Board. Inspire Investing, LLC (the Adviser) serves as the Funds investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust (the Advisory Agreement). The Adviser has engaged SevenOneSeven Capital Management, LTD as the sub-adviser (the Sub-Adviser) to manage the assets of GLRY. The Sub-Advisor is paid by the Advisor, not the Funds. The Trust has entered into a Global Custody Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the Custodian) to serve as custodian and to act as transfer and shareholder services agent. The Trust has also entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the Distributor) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Funds and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate indicated below of each Funds average daily net assets. For the year or period ended November 30, 2022, each Fund incurred the following in advisory fees:
Ticker | ANNUAL RATE | TOTAL ADVISORY FEE | ||||
BLES | 0.30% | $ | 402,577 | |||
ISMD | 0.30% | $ | 345,969 | |||
IBD | 0.30% | $ | 709,037 | |||
BIBL | 0.30% | $ | 853,271 | |||
WWJD | 0.45% | $ | 532,835 | |||
RISN | 0.50% | $ | 554,868 | |||
GLRY | 0.65% | $ | 173,966 | |||
FDLS | 0.45% | $ | 49,119 |
Pursuant to a written contract (the Waiver Agreement), the Adviser has agreed for BIBL and GLRY, at least until March 31, 2023, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Funds for other expenses to the extent necessary so that total expenses incurred (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including, for example, option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.52%, 0.35% and 0.80% of average daily net assets for BLES, BIBL and GLRY, respectively. Effective April 1, 2022, the BLES, ISMD and WWJD do not have a Waiver Agreement in place. BLES, ISMD, IBD, WWJD, RISN and FDLS currently do not have a Waiver Agreement in place.
If the Adviser waives any fee or reimburses any expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and a Funds operating expenses are subsequently lower than its expense limitation, or limitation in place at time of waiver, the Adviser, on a rolling three-year period, shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause that Funds operating expense to exceed the expense limitation. If a Funds operating expenses subsequently exceed the expense limitation, the

reimbursements for the Fund shall be suspended. For the year or period ended November 30, 2022, the Adviser waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the amount of $3,420, $279,811, and $88,117 for BLES, BIBL, and GLRY, respectively, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement.
The following amounts previously waived by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Funds by the following dates:

BLES | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3,420 | ||||||
BIBL | $ | 133,196 | $ | 168,196 | $ | 279,811 | ||||||
GLRY | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 88,117 |
The Adviser may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the effective date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement).
The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time on 60 days notice to the Adviser.
The Trust, with respect to the Funds, has adopted a distribution and service plan (Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay distribution fees to the distributor and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (Service Providers). If a Service Provider provides these services, the Funds may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Funds.
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (UFS) - UFS provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Funds pay UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Funds. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS and are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for serving in such capacities.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (NLCS) - NLCS, an affiliate of UFS, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from each Fund.

5. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at the NAV only in large blocks known as Creation Units. Shares are created and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares for BLES, ISMD, BIBL, and WWJD, 100,000 shares for IBD, and 25,000 for RISN, GLRY and FDLS. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. 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 the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of the Funds on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Funds may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. A fixed fee may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (Fixed Fee). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Funds and their ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (Variable Charge, and together with the Fixed Fee, the Transaction Fees).
The Transaction Fees for the Funds are listed in the table below:
Fee for In-Kind and Cash | Maximum Additional Variable | |
Ticker | Purchases | Charge for Cash Purchases* |
BLES | $500 | 0.00% |
ISMD | $250 | 0.00% |
IBD | $250 | 0.00% |

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gains (losses), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments for real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.
Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The following funds incurred and elected to defer such capital losses as follows:

8. | SECURITIES LENDING |
Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of the securities in its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Custodian. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan. Each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Each Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of each Fund. Each Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. The cash collateral is held by the Custodian in accordance with the custody agreement. Each Fund could experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.
As of November 30, 2022, the below table shows the securities loan and collateral for the loan, both of which are presented gross on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All individual open security loan transactions were over collateralized. The remaining contractual maturity of those transactions are overnight and continuous. This cash is invested in the Fidelity Government Portfolio – Institutional Class.

It is each Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. As of November 30, 2022, the collateral consisted of institutional government money market funds.
9. | UNDERLYING INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES |
RISN currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the iShares Treasury Floating Rate Bond ETF (TFLO) and WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund (USFR). RISN may redeem its investments in TFLO and USFR at any time if the Adviser determines that it is in the best interest of RISN and its shareholders to do so. RISNs performance will be directly affected by the performance of TFLO and USFR. The financial statements for TFLO and USFR, including the portfolio of investments, can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commissions website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the RISNs financial statements. As of November 30, 2022, TFLO and USFR comprise 46.87% and 46.71% of RISNs net assets, respectively.
10. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND REPORTING UPDATES |
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provided optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates. ASU 2020-04 was effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

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 law 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk 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 November 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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.
BBD, LLP
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Northern Lights Fund Trust IV since 2015.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
November 30, 2022
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2022 through November 30, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Inspire Investing, LLC
In connection with meetings of the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the Trust) held on April 25, 2022 and August 11, 2022, the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), discussed the approval of an investment advisory agreement (the Inspire Advisory Agreement) between Inspire Investing, LLC (Inspire) and the Trust, with respect to Inspire Fidelis Multi Factor ETF (Inspire FE). In considering the approval of the Inspire Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Inspire Advisory Agreement in advance of their meetings.
The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Board relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Inspire Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided, including a peer group for Inspire FE that were independently sourced by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge) and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Inspire Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that Inspire had approximately $1.9 billion in assets under management and had been in operation since August 2015. The Board further noted that Inspire currently advises five index Biblically Responsible Investing ETFs in the Trust and noted the portfolio management teams experience in managing those ETFs using its proprietary selection methodology, Inspire Impact Score©. The Board noted Inspires use of an index provider and Inspires oversight. The Board reviewed Inspires practices for monitoring compliance as set forth in the investment adviser questionnaire response. The Trust CCO noted the adequacy of Inspires compliance program. The Board observed that Inspire selected broker/dealers on the basis of best execution. The Board noted that Inspire monitors daily trading on the listing exchange by, among other means, using a third-party data and analysis provider. After further discussion, the Board concluded that Inspire has the ability to provide a level of service consistent with the Boards expectations.
Performance. The Board recognized that Inspire FE has not yet begun operations and has no prior investment performance.
Fees and Expenses. The Board discussed the report prepared by Broadridge and reviewed the report prepared by Broadridge regarding Inspire FEs fees and expenses. The Board discussed that the proposed advisory fee of 0.45% was higher than the Broadridge peer group average of 0.38% but included the costs associated with offering a fund utilizing a third party index provider. They further noted that the Inspire FEs net expense ratio was higher than its peer group average and Morningstar category average, but noted Inspires assertion of the index licensing fee. After further discussion, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed a profitability analysis provided by Inspire and considered whether the level of anticipated profit was reasonable. They noted Inspire anticipated realizing a profit in connection with its relationship with Inspire FE, but agreed that such profit was not excessive, both in actual dollars and as a percentage of revenue. The Board concluded, after further discussion, that excessive profit was not a concern at this time.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that economies of scale was not an issue at this time as Inspire FE had not yet launched. The Board noted that consideration of economies of scale would be revisited to the extent assets of Inspire FE grow significantly.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Inspire as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Inspire Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the Inspire Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of Inspire FE and its future shareholders.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the Liquidity Rule) under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds investment strategies and the liquidity of their portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; their short and long-term cash flow projections; and their cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Trusts Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the Committee) reviewed the Funds investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
