- From 5/1/2025 to 4/30/2025, we outperformed our benchmark, returning 12.25% at NAV versus 12.10% for the S&P500 TR.
- This difference in performance was driven largely by slight deviations in holding weights of major tech stocks, as determined by our proprietary company-ratings data and signal-generating algorithm. In most cases, these signals led to both over-weights and under-weights in MAG7 stocks at different points in the year.
- Looking ahead, we are eager to increase the volume and coverage of our ratings data.

The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Mr. Joe D. Redwine, Ms. Michele Rackey, Ms. Anne Kritzmire and Mr. Craig Wainscott are the “audit committee financial experts” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant including the review of federal income tax returns, review of federal excise tax returns, review of state tax returns, if any, and assistance with calculation of required income, capital gain and excise distributions. There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
FYE 4/30/2025 | FYE 4/30/2024 | |
(a) Audit Fees | $17,500 | $17,400 |
(b) Audit-Related Fees | N/A | N/A |
(c) Tax Fees | $3,600 | $3,600 |
(d) All Other Fees | N/A | N/A |
(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
FYE 4/30/2025 | FYE 4/30/2024 | |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
(f) During the audit of the registrant’s financial statements, 100 percent of the hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.
Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 4/30/2025 | FYE 4/30/2024 |
Registrant | N/A | N/A |
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | N/A | N/A |
(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
(i) The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.
(j) The registrant is not a foreign issuer.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
(a) | The registrant is an issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Act”) and has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Act, which consists of all the Independent Trustees. |

D. |
Reclassification
of Capital Accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of
net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect
on net assets or net asset value per share. |

Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. |
F. |
REITs:
The Fund has made certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders
based upon available funds from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REITs’ taxable earnings and profits
resulting in the excess portion being designated as a return of capital. The Fund intends to include the gross dividends from such REITs
in its annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may also be designated as
a return of capital. |
G. |
Events Subsequent
to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2025, management considered the impact of subsequent
events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has determined there were no subsequent events
that would need to be disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• |
Newer Adviser
Risk. The Adviser was a new entity formed in 2021 and has not previously managed an ETF. ETFs and their advisers are subject to
restrictions and limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the Internal Revenue
Code. As a result, investors do not have a long-term track record of managing a pooled investment vehicle from which to judge the newly-formed
Adviser and the Adviser may not achieve the intended result in managing the Fund. |
• |
Management
Risk. The investment strategies, practices and risk analysis used by the Adviser may not produce the desired results. The ability
of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the Adviser’s investment strategies for the Fund. If the Adviser’s
investment strategies do not produce the expected results, your investment could be diminished or even lost. |
• |
Consumer Sentiment
Risk. Investment decisions that are based primarily on consumer sentiment involve additional risks. Information received may be
inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. Information received may be outdated or could be duplicative making the information ineffective
for accurately gauging current sentiment. There is a possibility that users have an undisclosed agenda with an attempt to manipulate a
company’s stock price. |
• |
Research Risk.
The Adviser does not conduct company research on any of the positions held in the portfolio outside of analysis of the sentiment
data received from the Reverberate App. The Adviser also does not consider market developments or the status of the economy in its management
of the Fund. The Adviser’s strategy is to base its investment decisions entirely on the expressions of sentiment as identified in
the Reverberate App. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risks, which may be substantial, that negative developments effecting a held
company, the economy, or markets in general, may not be apparent to the users of the Reverberate App. These negative developments could
have significant negative impact on the value of your investment and the Fund’s portfolio. |
• |
Reverberate
App. The Reverberate App is a new web-based utility and currently has a limited number of users. The ability of the App to properly
and accurately gauge public sentiment is highly dependent on its ability to attain a high level of regular usage among a broad market
segment of the population. If the App is unable to draw sufficient users to express their views on a company, the Adviser will invest
in the company at a level equal to its market-capitalization proportional to that of the Investable Universe. If the Adviser is unable
to take material active positions due to lack of sufficient data or otherwise, the Fund will likely experience performance similar to
the broad large capitalization market in general. In addition, while the App seeks to use tools and technology to identify and limit the
influence of non-human users (Bots) or multiple votes by the same user, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
In that event, the information provided by the App may not properly reflect sentiment regarding a company, leading the Adviser to take
active positions in a company that are inconsistent with true market sentiment. The investment strategy
of relying entirely on general public sentiment as expressed on a web-based user app in order to take active positions is novel. The strategy
may not work and this may have a significant negative impact on the value of your investment. |
• |
General Market
Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood
that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities
in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market
or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand
for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls.
U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic,
political and global macro factors, which has resulted in disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global |
|

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• |
Equity Securities
Risk. The value of the Fund’s shares will go up or down based on the movement of the overall stock market and the value of
the individual securities held by the Fund, both of which can sometimes be volatile. |
• |
High Portfolio
Turnover Risk. The Fund may be subject to increased trading based on the level of user responses received and this trading can
lead to higher than normal portfolio turnover. The Fund may frequently buy and sell portfolio securities and other assets to rebalance
the Fund’s exposure to specific securities. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Fund paying higher levels of transaction
costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. Portfolio turnover may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than
you expect. |
• |
ETF Risks. The
Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: |
• |
Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions
that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity
providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly
face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step
forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. |
• |
Costs of Buying
or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask
spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors
who anticipate regularly making small investments. |
• |
Shares May
Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although
it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares
is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods
of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there
is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. |
• |
Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other
than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be
significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value
of those Shares. |
• |
Newer Fund
Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with a limited operating history. There can be no assurance that the
Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund. |
|

Sector Emphasis
Risk. The securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant portion of the Fund’s portfolio,
could react in some circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or financial developments and
adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of the Fund’s portfolio.
The Adviser does not manage the Fund’s sector exposure so that at any given time the Fund may have significant exposure to individual
sectors. |

The
nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the Advisory agreements. The
Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser’s overall services to be provided to the Fund, as
well as their specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications,
experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser
that would be involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including information regarding their compliance programs, their chief compliance officers and the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser’s compliance record, as well as the Adviser and Sub-Adviser’s cybersecurity programs, liquidity risk management
programs, valuation procedures, business continuity plans, and risk management processes. The Board further considered the prior relationship
between the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser’s
operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with certain personnel of the Adviser to discuss the Fund’s
performance and investment outlook as well as various compliance topics and fund distribution/marketing. The Board concluded that the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes, and compliance policies and procedures
essential to performing their duties under the Advisory Agreements and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent
of such management services. |
2. |
The
Fund’s historical performance and the overall performance of the Adviser. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management
delivered by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund as of June 30, 2024, on both an
absolute basis and a relative basis in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications, an appropriate securities market
benchmark, a cohort that is comprised of similarly managed funds selected by an independent third-party consulting firm engaged by the
Board to assist it in its 15(c) review (the “Cohort”), and the Adviser’s similarly managed accounts, if applicable.
While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. When reviewing
performance against the comparative Morningstar peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies
of the Fund, as |

The
costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and the structure of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser’s fee under
the Advisory agreements. In considering the advisory fee and sub-advisory fees and total expenses of the Fund, the Board reviewed
comparisons to the Cohort, and the Adviser’s similarly managed separate accounts, if any, for other types of clients as well as
the unitary management fee structure for the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser does not manage any other accounts in a similar strategy.
|
4. |
Economies
of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale could be expected to be realized by the Adviser as assets of the
Fund grow. The Board noted that as the Fund had only been operating for a limited period of time, there were no additional significant
economies of scale being realized by the Adviser at this time. |
5. |
The
profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s
and Sub-Adviser’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Adviser
and Sub-Adviser from advising the Fund. The Board considered the profitability to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from their relationship
with the Fund and considered any additional material benefits derived by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the
Fund, noting that the Fund does not charge Rule 12b-1 fees nor utilize “soft dollars.” After such review, the Board determined
that the profitability to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser with respect to the Advisory Agreements was not excessive, and that the Adviser
and Sub-Adviser had maintained adequate resources and profit levels to support the services each provides to the Fund. |
