HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the STF Tactical Growth ETF (the “Fund”) returned 19.80% (net asset value (“NAV”)) compared to its benchmark index, a blended return of 60% S&P 500 Total Return Index (SPXT) and 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (LBUSTRUU), 12.35%.
The top contributing equity holdings during the reporting period were once again focused on AI and technology growth stories around supply channel. These equities were: Western Digital Corp., Seagate Technology, Micron Technology, Intel Corp, Advanced Micro Devices which all outpaced NVIDIA Corp. Conversely, the largest detractors were Atlassian Corp., Strategy Inc, CoStar Group Inc, Adobe Inc, and PayPal Holdings Inc. The Fund continues to hold these securities as they are reflective of the growth equity profile. The rotational aspect of these names supports a consistent growth profile while offering diversification.
The fund invests in publicly listed equities which exhibit a growth profile, which has enjoyed multiple calendar years of +20% returns since inception. The equity growth profile has been the beneficiary of two dominate themes in global markets: US economic exceptionalism and tech/AI trade dominance. In 2025, just under half of the index’s total gains came from Nvidia and Broadcom, who also happened to have the highest annual returns of any full-time component. Q1 2026, much like Q1 2025, saw a sharp reversal of those trends. This year was the conflict in Iran whereas in 2025 it was uncertainty around US tariff threats. The selloffs in US stocks once again rattled markets despite US listed equities, once again, leading stock gains globally.
TUGN has been fully allocated to growth stocks over the past year as technical analysis has shown levels remained above long-term moving averages.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE INCEPTION?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses (management fees) were deducted.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the STF Tactical Growth ETF (the “Fund”) returned 22.24% (net asset value (“NAV”)) compared to its benchmark index, a blended return of 60% S&P 500 Total Return Index (SPXT) and 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (LBUSTRUU), 12.35%.
The top contributing equity holdings during the reporting period were once again focused on AI and technology growth stories around supply channel. These equities were: Western Digital Corp., Seagate Technology, Micron Technology, Intel Corp, and Advanced Micro Devices which all outpaced NVIDIA Corp. Conversely, the largest detractors were Atlassian Corp., Strategy Inc, CoStar Group Inc, Adobe Inc, and PayPal Holdings Inc. The Fund continues to hold these securities as they are reflective of the growth equity profile. The rotational aspect of these names supports a consistent growth profile while offering diversification.
The fund invests in publicly listed equities which exhibit a growth profile, which has enjoyed multiple calendar years of +20% returns since inception. The equity growth profile has been the beneficiary of two dominate themes in global markets: US economic exceptionalism and tech/AI trade dominance. In 2025, just under half of the index’s total gains came from Nvidia and Broadcom, who also happened to have the highest annual returns of any full-time component. Q1 2026, much like Q1 2025, saw a sharp reversal of those trends. This year was the conflict in Iran whereas in 2025 it was uncertainty around US tariff threats. The selloffs in US stocks once again rattled markets despite US listed equities, once again, leading stock gains globally.
TUG has been fully allocated to growth stocks over the past year as technical analysis has shown levels remained above long-term moving averages.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE INCEPTION?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses (management fees) were deducted.

Funds seek to achieve their investment objective by allocating investments among a combination of (i) U.S. equity securities or ETFs that,
in the aggregate, seek to replicate the Nasdaq-100® Index (the “Index Allocation”), (ii) directly in, or in
ETFs that hold, long-duration U.S. Treasury securities (the “Fixed Income Allocation”), and (iii) short-term U.S. Treasury
bills, money market funds, and cash and/or cash equivalents (the “Cash Equivalents”). The Funds also may utilize a proprietary,
tactical unconstrained growth model (the “TUG Model”). The TUG Model combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis factors
but is primarily quantitative in nature. The quantitative factors underlying the TUG model include, but are not limited to, asset class
(i.e., equity and fixed income) and market volatility, as well as rates of change in both asset class price action (i.e., the price movement
of securities in a particular asset class over time) and market volatility. The TUG Model is based on signals that are derived from a
proprietary algorithm that tracks market price action across equities, fixed income, and commodities, to include rates of change in correlation
and volatility. In response to shifts in price action, market volatility, and correlation of the two primary asset classes based on the
TUG Model, the Fund’s portfolio allocations will adjust between the Index Allocation and the Fixed Income Allocation and thereby
seek to proactively adapt to current market conditions.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each
Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial
Services – Investment Companies. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Accounting
Pronouncements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements
to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to provide transparency and enhanced details for taxes
paid and is designed to help investors better understand an entity’s exposure to taxes by type and jurisdiction. Management has
evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material
impact for the Funds.
Use
of Estimates – The preparation of the 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 disclosures 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 these estimates.
Share
Transactions – The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is equal to a Fund’s
total assets minus a Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will
be rounded to the nearest cent. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the New
York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading.
Fair
Value Measurement – In calculating the NAV, each Fund’s exchange-traded equity securities
will be valued at fair value, which will generally be determined using the last reported official closing or last trading price on the
exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 1
in the fair value hierarchy described below.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
STF
ETFs
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March
31, 2026(Continued)
Securities
listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. are generally valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Foreign securities will be priced at
their local currencies as of the close of their primary exchange or market or as of the time each Fund calculates its NAV on the valuation
date, whichever is earlier.
Exchange-traded
options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest asked price across the exchange.
On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value. The premium a fund pays when purchasing
a put option or receives when writing a put option will reflect, among other things, the market price of the security, the relationship
of the exercise price to the market period and supply and demand factors. The premium is the value of an option at the date of purchase.
An
amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless
the Adviser determines in good faith that such method does not represent fair value.
If
market quotations are not readily available, or if it is determined that a quotation of a security does not represent fair value, then
the security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser using procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the
Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). The valuation of each Fund’s investments is performed in accordance with
the principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. The Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee of the Funds. The circumstances
in which a security may be fair valued include, among others: the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such
as mergers, restructurings or defaults; the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in
a particular region or government actions; trading restrictions on securities; thinly traded securities; and market events such as trading
halts and early market closings. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may differ significantly from the values that
would have been used had an active market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market
quotations. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
FASB
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements.
It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or
liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurements. Under ASC 820,
various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:
|
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 securities, 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
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level
1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). See the Schedules of Investments for a summary of the valuations as of March 31,
2026 for each Fund based upon the three levels described above.
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.

All
other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities
for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined
in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited
to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis
of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities
in similar circumstances.
Security
Transactions – Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased
or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated based on the specific identification
basis.
Investment
Income – Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends has been provided for in accordance with Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules
and regulations. Dividend withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld.
Many U.S. treaty partners require the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to certify that the person claiming treaty benefits is a resident
of the United States for federal tax purposes, the Funds recognize the fee for this service, if applicable, as tax expense on the Statements
of Operations. Discounts/premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective
interest method. Dividends and distributions which exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital
and are classified as a reduction of cost of investments.
Tax
Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax Positions – The Funds
are treated as separate entities for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”)
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain eligible
for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, each Fund must meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements
and must distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest
and net short-term capital gains) and (ii) certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject
to Federal income tax.
Distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds generally pay out dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly
for TUG and monthly for TUGN, and distribute their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. TUGN seeks to distribute
1% of its NAV on a monthly basis. As a result of these monthly distributions, a portion may be classified as return of capital at fiscal
year end. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with Federal tax requirements. The amount
of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income
tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent
in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets
based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed
earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital.
Management
evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection
with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing
tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position
is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income
taxes would be recorded as income tax expense. The Funds’ Federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may
be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. As of March 31, 2026, the Funds’ fiscal
year end, the Funds had no material uncertain tax positions and did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31,
2026, the Funds’ fiscal year end, the Funds had no examination in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for
which it is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The
Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.
The Funds have recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in the current fiscal year. At March 31, 2026, the
Funds’ fiscal year end, the tax periods from previous three fiscal years remained open to examination in the Funds’ major
tax jurisdictions.
Indemnification
– In the normal course of business, the Funds expect to enter into contracts that contain a variety
of representations and warranties, and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these anticipated
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.
Derivatives
– TUGN may seek to enhance the Fund’s return by utilizing an options spread strategy which
typically consists of two components: (i) selling call options on the Nasdaq-100® Index on up to 100% of the value of
the equity securities held by the Fund to generate premium from such options, while (ii) simultaneously reinvesting a portion of such
premium to buy call options on the same reference asset(s).
TUGN
may purchase and write put and call options on indices and enter into related closing transactions. All options written on indices or
securities must be covered, the Fund will segregate cash and/or other liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s obligations.
Put and call options on indices give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing level
of the underlying index is greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal
to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars multiplied by a specified
number. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.
The
Fund purchasing put and call options pays a premium; therefore, if price movements in the underlying securities are such that exercise
of the options would not be profitable for the Fund, loss of the premium paid may be offset by an increase in the value of the Fund’s
securities or by a decrease in the cost of acquisition of securities by the Funds. When the Fund writes an option, if the underlying securities
do not increase or decrease to a price level that would make the exercise of the option profitable to the holder thereof, the option generally
will expire without being exercised and the Fund will realize as profit the premium received for such option. When a call option of which
the Fund is the writer is exercised, the Fund will be required to sell the underlying securities to the option holder at the strike price
and will not participate in any increase in the price of such securities above the strike price. When a put option of which the Fund is
the writer is exercised, the Fund will be required to purchase the underlying securities at a price in excess of the market value of such
securities. The Fund maintains minimal counterparty risk through contracts bought or sold on an exchange. As of March 31, 2026, the
Fund’s derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment
Advisory Agreement – The Trust has entered into an Interim Investment Advisory Agreement (the
“Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, effective on March 30, 2026. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a
continuous investment program for the Funds’ assets in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and limitations, and
oversees the day-to day operations of the Funds subject to the supervision of the Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested
persons” of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act. Prior to March 30, 2026, the investment adviser to the Funds was STF Management
LP.
Pursuant
to the Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, each Fund pays a unified management fee to the Adviser,
which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.65% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has
agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds except the fee paid to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, 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, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses (if any).
Distribution
Agreement and 12b-1 Plan – Foreside Fund Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foreside
Financial Group, LLC (dba ACA Group) (the “Distributor”) serves as each Fund’s distributor pursuant to a Distribution
Services Agreement. The Distributor receives compensation for the statutory underwriting services it provides to the Funds. The Distributor
enters into agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that will allow those parties to be “Authorized Participants”
and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. The Distributor will not distribute shares in less than whole Creation Units and
does not maintain a secondary market in shares.
The
Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance
with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets each year
for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there
are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of each Fund’s
assets. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services
on behalf of the Funds.
Administrator,
Accountant, Custodian and Transfer Agent – U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as
U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”) serves as administrator, transfer agent and
fund accounting agent of the Funds pursuant to a Fund Servicing Agreement. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate
of Fund Services, serves as the Funds’ custodian pursuant to a Custody Agreement. Under the terms of these agreements, the Adviser
pays each Fund’s administrative, accountant, custody and transfer agency fees.
All
officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Administrator and the Custodian.
4.
CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS
Shares
of the Funds are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange”). Each Fund issues and redeems shares on
a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed
principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts
less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV.
The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the Exchange is open for trading. The
NAV of the shares of each Fund will be equal to a Fund’s total assets minus a Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total
number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the
price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to four decimal places.
Creation
Unit Transaction Fee – Authorized Participants may be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed
transaction fee (the “Creation Unit Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance or redemption of Creation Units. The
standard Creation Unit Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed by an investor
on the applicable business day. The Creation Unit Transaction Fee charged by each Fund for each creation order is $500.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
STF
ETFs
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March
31, 2026(Continued)
An
additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for (i)
creations effected outside the Clearing Process and (ii) creations made in an all cash amount (to offset the Trust’s brokerage and
other transaction costs associated with using cash to purchase the requisite Deposit Securities). Investors are responsible for the costs
of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the Trust. Each Fund may determine to not charge
a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Variable
fees, if any, received by the Funds are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions section on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Only
“Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly 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 National Securities Clearing
Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail
investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will
be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary
market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered
in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.
A
Creation Unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to the Funds and the payment of
any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant agreement, Creation Units of the Funds
will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that the Funds’ deposits have not been received in part or
in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible.
If the Funds or their agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the required cash amounts, by such time, then the order
may be deemed rejected and the authorized participant shall be liable to the Funds for losses, if any.

The
difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses
on wash sales.
Under
current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31 and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31 may be deferred
and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Funds’ carryforward losses, post-October losses and
late year losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
During
the year ended March 31, 2026, the Funds realized net capital gains and losses resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders
exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Funds, and are
not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from distributable earnings (accumulated losses) to paid in-capital. The
amounts of realized gains and losses from in-kind redemptions included in realized gain/(loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations
is as follows:

PRINCIPAL RISKS
As
with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to the principal
risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective.
To the extent that the Fund invests more heavily in a particular industry or sector of the economy, its performance will be especially
sensitive to developments that significantly affect those industries or sectors.
A
complete description of the principal risks is included in the prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Risks.”
8.
OPERATING SEGMENT
Management
has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect
to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Funds. Each Fund operates as a single segment
entity. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Portfolio Manager, who
serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders of STF ETFs and
Board
of Trustees of Listed Funds Trust
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of STF Tactical Growth &
Income ETF and STF Tactical Growth ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of Listed Funds
Trust, as of March 31, 2026, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and
for the period from May 18, 2022 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2026, the results of their operations
for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period May 18, 2022 through March 31, 2023, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 March 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. 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.
We
have served as the auditor of one or more funds advised by Shelton Capital Management since 2021.

BOARD
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION OF ADVISORY
AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
STF
Tactical Growth ETF
STF Tactical
Growth & Income ETF
At
meetings held on February 24, 2026 (the “February Meeting”) and March 4, 2026 (the “March Meeting” and together
with the February Meeting, the “Meetings”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”),
including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
“1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the approval of the continuation of the advisory agreement
(the “Agreement”) between STF Management LP (“STF”) and the Trust, on behalf of STF Tactical Growth ETF and STF
Tactical Growth & Income ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”).
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the continuation of the Agreement after its initial two-year term must be approved annually by: (i)
the vote of the Board or shareholders of each Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast at a meeting called
for the purpose of voting on such approval. As discussed in greater detail below, in preparation for the Meetings, the Board requested
from, and reviewed responsive information provided by STF.
The
Board noted that STF and CCM Partners LP (d/b/a Shelton Capital Management (“Shelton”)) had entered into an agreement related
to the management of the Funds (the “Transaction”), which was scheduled to become effective March 30, 2026. The closing
of the Transaction would result in the automatic termination of the Agreement. Nonetheless, until the Transaction closed, STF would continue
to manage the Funds pursuant to the Agreement, which the Board considered for renewal.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the Meetings, during the March Meeting representatives from STF
provided the Board with an overview of their advisory business, including their investment personnel, financial resources, experience,
investment processes, and compliance program. The representatives discussed the services provided to each Fund by STF, as well as each
Fund’s fees and information with respect to the Fund’s strategy and certain operational aspects of the Fund. The Board considered
the materials it received in advance of the Meetings, including a memorandum from legal counsel to the Trust regarding the responsibilities
of the Board in considering the approval of the Agreement, and information conveyed during STF’s oral presentation. The Board also
considered the information it received throughout the year about each Fund and STF. The Board considered the approval of the continuation
of the Agreement for an additional one-year term in light of this information. Throughout the process, the Board was afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, STF. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with counsel to
the Trust to further discuss the advisory arrangements and the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto.
At
the March Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors, including, among other
things: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by STF to the Funds; (ii) each Fund’s expenses and performance;
(iii) the cost of the services provided and profits to be realized by STF from the relationship with the applicable Funds; (iv) comparative
fee and expense data for each Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives and strategies; (v) the extent to
which the advisory fee for each Fund reflects economies of scale shared with its shareholders; (vi) any fall-out benefits derived by STF
from the relationship with the applicable Fund; and (vii) other factors the Board deemed relevant. In its deliberations, the Board considered
the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the advisory arrangements and renewal of the Agreement. In its deliberations,
the Board did not identify any single piece of information that was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed
different weights to various factors.
Approval
of the Continuation of the Advisory Agreement
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the scope of services provided under the
Agreement, noting that STF expected to continue to provide substantially similar investment management services to each Fund with respect
to implementing its investment program, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, monitoring
adherence to its investment restrictions, overseeing the activities of the service providers, monitoring compliance with various policies
and procedures with applicable securities regulations, and monitoring the extent to which each Fund achieved its investment objective.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by STF, the Board considered the quality of STF’s compliance
infrastructure and past and current reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding her view of STF’s compliance
infrastructure,

as
well as the Board’s experience with STF and the investment management services it has provided to each Fund. The Board noted that
it had received a copy of STF’s registration on Form ADV, as well as the response of STF to a detailed series of questions
which requested, among other information, information about the background and experience of the firm’s key personnel, the firm’s
cybersecurity policy, and the services provided by STF. The Board also considered STF’s operational capabilities and resources and
its experience in managing investment portfolios, including the Funds.
Historical
Performance. The Board next considered each Fund’s performance. The Board observed that information
regarding each Fund’s past investment performance for periods ended December 31, 2025 had been included in the Materials. The
Board noted that it had been provided with the Barrington Report, which compared the performance results of each Fund with the returns
of a group of ETFs selected by Barrington Partners as most comparable to the Fund (each, a “Peer Group”), as well as with
funds in each Fund’s respective Morningstar category (each, a “Category Peer Group”).
STF
Tactical Growth ETF: The Board noted that, for the one-year, three-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2025,
the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the 60% S&P 500® Index/40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board also
noted that, for the one-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2025, the Fund outperformed the average of its Peer Group
and its Category Peer Group.
STF
Tactical Growth & Income ETF: The Board noted that, for the one-year, three-year and since inception periods ended December 31,
2025, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the 60% S&P 500® Index/40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board
also noted that, for the one-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2025, the Fund outperformed the average of its Peer Group
and Category Peer Group.
Cost
of Services Provided and Profitability. The Board reviewed the management fee for each Fund, including
in comparison to the management fees of its respective Peer Group as provided in the Barrington Report. Additionally, at the Board’s
request, STF identified the funds it considered to be direct competitors (a “Selected Peer Group”) and provided a comparison
of the STF Tactical Growth ETF’s management fee compared with funds in the Selected Peer Group.
The
Board took into consideration that STF charges a “unitary fee,” meaning that the Funds pay no expenses except for the fee
paid to STF pursuant to the Agreement, 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, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the
Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board noted that STF is responsible for
compensating each Fund’s other service providers and, with the exception of the expenses noted above, paying each Fund’s other
operating expenses out of its own fee and resources. The Board also evaluated whether STF received any other compensation or fall-out
benefits from its relationship with the Funds, taking into account analyses of STF’s profitability with respect to each Fund.
STF
Tactical Growth ETF: The Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was lower than the average and median of the Peer Group.
The Board also noted that the Fund’s management fee was within the range of its Selected Peer Group.
STF
Tactical Growth & Income ETF: The Board noted that while the management fee for the Fund was higher than the average and median
of the Peer Group, it was within the range of funds included in the Peer Group.
The
Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s unitary fee is reasonable and competitive with the fees of its respective peer funds.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that it is not yet evident that any of the Funds have reached the size at which
they have begun to realize economies of scale. The Board also determined that, based on the amount and structure of each Fund’s
unitary fee, any such economies of scale would be shared with such Fund’s respective shareholders. The Board stated that it would
monitor fees as the Funds grow and consider whether fee breakpoints may be warranted in the future.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION OF ADVISORY
AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)(Continued)
Conclusion.
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuation of the Agreement;
rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, determined that the terms of the Agreement, including the compensation payable under the Agreement, are fair and reasonable
with respect to each Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the
continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

BOARD
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INTERIM ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At
the Meeting, and following the Meeting, the Board of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, considered an Interim Advisory Agreement
between Shelton and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”). As discussed in greater detail below,
in preparation for and following the Meeting, the Board requested from, and reviewed responsive information provided by, Shelton. On March 26,
2026, the Board of the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, approved the Interim Advisory Agreement.
The
Board was asked to consider the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement following notification by STF of its intended entry into the
Transaction. Under the 1940 Act, the closing of the Transaction would result in the automatic termination of the Agreement between the
Trust and STF. Mr. Jonathan Molchan, STF portfolio manager for the Funds, notified the Board that as part of the Transaction, he
would take a position with Shelton and continue to serve as portfolio manager of the Funds. Mr. Molchan recommended that the Board
consider appointing Shelton as the interim investment adviser to each Fund and approving the proposed Interim Advisory Agreement.
The
Board considered that the Interim Advisory Agreement would replace the Agreement until such time as the Funds’ shareholders have
an opportunity to consider the approval of a new advisory agreement and that the terms of the Interim Advisory Agreement were identical
to those of the Agreement with the exception of certain terms, such as the duration of the Interim Advisory Agreement, that reflect specific
1940 Act requirements applicable to interim advisory agreements. The Board also considered that the Interim Advisory Agreement would enable
Mr. Molchan, the Funds’ current portfolio manager, to continue managing the Funds without interruption in his new role with
Shelton.
The
Board considered that the Interim Advisory Agreement would be effective for the lesser of: (i) the period from March 30, 2026 through
the date of approval by shareholders of a new investment advisory agreement; or (ii) 150 days from March 30, 2026.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Interim Advisory Agreement must be approved by: (i) the vote of the Board or shareholders of the
Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
In connection with its consideration of such approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and Shelton is required to furnish, such information
as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Interim Advisory Agreement.
In
considering the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors,
including, among other things: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Shelton; (ii) the historical performance
of each Fund; (iii) the estimated cost of the services to be provided by Shelton and the profits expected to be realized by Shelton from
its relationship with the Funds; (iv) comparative fee and expense data for each Fund and other investment companies with similar investment
objectives; (v) the extent to which the proposed advisory fee for each Fund reflects economies of scale shared with Fund shareholders;
(vi) any benefits to be derived by Shelton from the relationship with the Funds, including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by Shelton; and
(vii) other factors the Board deemed to be relevant. In its deliberations, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions
described below relating to the advisory arrangement and the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement.
Prior
to and following the Meeting, the Board reviewed written materials provided by Shelton and, during the Meeting, representatives from Shelton
presented additional oral and written information to assist the Board with its evaluation of the Interim Advisory Agreement. Among other
things, representatives from Shelton provided an overview of the advisory business, including information about investment personnel,
financial resources, experience, investment processes, and the firm’s compliance program. The representatives discussed the services
to be provided by Shelton and the operational aspects of each Fund. The Board then discussed the materials it had received, including
memoranda from legal counsel to the Trust on the responsibilities of the Trustees in considering the approval of the Interim Advisory
Agreement under the 1940 Act. The Board considered the written materials it received in advance of the Meeting and Shelton’s oral
presentation. The Board considered the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement in light of this information. Throughout the process,
the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, Shelton.
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be provided
under the Interim Advisory Agreement, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, monitoring
adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, overseeing the activities of the service providers, monitoring compliance with
various policies and procedures with applicable securities regulations, and

monitoring
the extent to which each Fund will achieve its investment objective as an actively managed fund. The Board considered that the services
to be provided under the Interim Advisory Agreement were identical in all material respects to those services provided under the Prior
Advisory Agreement.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Shelton, the Board considered the quality of Shelton’s
compliance program and a report from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding her review of Shelton’s compliance program.
The Board noted that it had received a copy of Shelton’s registration on Form ADV, as well as the responses of Shelton to a
detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the firm’s key
personnel, the firm’s cybersecurity policy, and the services provided by Shelton.
Historical
Performance. The Board next considered each Fund’s performance. The Board noted that Shelton had
not yet commenced serving as the Funds’ investment adviser and therefore did not have a complete performance history to review.
The Board recognized, however, that Mr. Molchan, who served as a portfolio manager to each Fund at STF, would continue to manage
the Funds’ investments at Shelton and partially considered each Fund’s past performance, arriving at the conclusions noted
above.
Cost
of Services Provided and Profitability. The Board reviewed the management fee for each Fund, including
in comparison to the management fees of its respective Peer Group as provided in the Barrington Report. Additionally, at the Board’s
request, Shelton identified the funds it considered to be each Fund’s most direct competitors (the “Selected Peer Group”)
and provided a comparison of the Funds’ management fees compared with funds in the Selected Peer Group.
The
Board took into consideration that Shelton will charge a “unitary fee,” meaning that the Funds pay no expenses except for
the fee paid to Shelton pursuant to the Agreement, 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, and distribution fees and expenses
paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board noted that Shelton will
be responsible for compensating each Fund’s other service providers and, with the exception of the expenses noted above, paying
each Fund’s other operating expenses out of its own fee and resources. The Board also evaluated whether Shelton will receive any
other compensation or fall-out benefits from its relationship with the Funds, taking into account that the estimated profitability analyses
provided by STF with respect to each Fund was expected to be the same for Shelton.
STF
Tactical Growth ETF: The Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was lower than the average and median of the Peer Group. The
Board also noted that the Fund’s management fee was within the range of its Selected Peer Group.
STF
Tactical Growth & Income ETF: The Board noted that while the management fee for the Fund was higher than the average and median
of the Peer Group, it was within the range of funds included in the Peer Group.
The
Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s unitary fee is reasonable and competitive with the fees of its respective peer funds.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that Shelton might realize economies of scale in managing each
Fund as its assets grow. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be shared with a Fund’s shareholders
through the Fund’s unitary fee structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in a Fund, the Board determined
to reassess whether the advisory fee appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that
growth.
Conclusion.
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the
Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Interim Advisory Agreement, including the compensation
payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable to each Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined
that the approval of the Interim Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
