ORGANIZATION
Exchange
Traded Concepts Trust (the “Trust”), is a Delaware statutory trust formed on July 17, 2009. The Trust is registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
“1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company with multiple investment portfolios.
The financial statements herein are those of the Range India Financials ETF (the “Fund”). The Fund seeks to provide investment
results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Nifty Financial Services 25/50 Index
(the “Index”). Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Adviser”), an Oklahoma limited liability company, serves
as the investment adviser for the Fund. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the
1940 Act (see “Non Diversification Risk” under Note 6). The Fund commenced operations on October 20, 2020.
Effective
September 1, 2024, the name of the Nifty India Financials ETF was changed to Range India Financials ETF.
Shares
of the Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). Market prices for shares of the Fund may be different
from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis to certain institutional investors
(typically market makers or other broker-dealers) at NAV only in large blocks of shares, called “Creation
Units.” Creation Units are available for purchase and redemption on each business day and are offered and redeemed
on an in-kind basis, together with a specified cash amount, or for an all cash amount. Once created, shares
trade in a secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in share amounts less than a Creation Unit.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust,
are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
for investment companies. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on the accrual
basis of accounting. Management has reviewed Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment
Companies (“ASC 946”), and concluded that the Fund meets the criteria of an “investment company,”
and therefore, the Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with investment company accounting as outlined in ASC 946.
Use
of Estimates and Indemnifications — The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore,
the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In
the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which
provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Fund expects
any risk of loss to be remote.
Security
Valuation — The Fund records its investments at fair value. Securities listed on a securities exchange, market
or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”)),
including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic)
on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at
that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price for long positions and at the most recent quoted
ask price for short positions. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities
are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally
reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies
that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify
the fair value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less when acquired will be valued
at their market value. If a market value is not available from a pricing vendor or from an independent broker, the security shall be fair
valued according to the Trust’s fair value procedures. Prices for most securities held in the Fund are provided daily by recognized
independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing
agent, the Fund seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Rule 2a-5
under the 1940 Act, establishes requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund
boards to designate a fund’s investment adviser to perform fair-value determinations, subject to board
oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes
of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available.

to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”)
(i) has designated the Adviser as the Board’s valuation designee to perform fair-value determinations
for the Fund through the Adviser’s Valuation Committee and (ii) approved the Adviser’s Valuation Procedures.
Some
of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading
has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s
primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded
for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of
the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Fund may fair value its
securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities that traded outside of the United States
(a ‘‘Significant Event’’) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that
the Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be
Significant Events include, but are not limited to, government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant
market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities
after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund
calculates its NAV, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures,
the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In
accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value
of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of
a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, 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). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level
1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability
to access at the measurement date;
• Level
2 — Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially
the full term of the asset or liability; and
• Level
3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable
(supported by little or no market activity).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the year ended April 30, 2025, maximized the use of observable
inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered
in determining fair value.
Federal
Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal
income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly,
no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The
Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as
income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of April 30, 2025, the Fund did not have any interest or penalties associated
with the underpayment of any income taxes. Current tax years remain open and subject to examination by tax jurisdictions. The Fund
has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting
from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its tax returns.
Foreign
Taxes — The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally
based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Fund accrues and applies such taxes to net investment income, net realized
gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains earned.
In
addition to the requirements of the Code, the Fund may also be subject to capital gains tax in India and potentially other foreign jurisdictions,
on gains realized upon the sale of securities, payable upon repatriation of sales proceeds. Any realized losses in excess of gains in
India may be carried forward to offset future gains. A Fund with exposure to Indian securities and potentially other foreign jurisdictions
accrue a deferred tax liability for unrealized gains in excess of available loss carryforwards based on existing tax rates and holding
periods of the securities. As of April 30, 2025, the Fund had deferred liabilities for capital gains of $426,970.
Security
Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in
determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded
on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes and reclaims
on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s
tax rules and rates.
Foreign
Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses
resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These
gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized
and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency
exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities
transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s
books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign
income received, capital gain on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable).
All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which
the Fund invests.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents — Idle cash
may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as Cash and Cash equivalents on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities,
if any. The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts
swept overnight are available on the next business day.
Dividends
and Distributions to Shareholders — The
Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually.
All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Creation
Units — The
Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV and only in Creation Units, or multiples thereof. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized
Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in
a given transaction. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard minimum
redemption transaction fee to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed
in a given transaction. The Fund may charge, either in lieu of or in addition to the fixed creation transaction fee, a variable fee for
creations and redemptions in order to cover certain non-standard brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution,
market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transactions. In all cases, such fees
will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the Commission applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable
securities.
The
Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne
by the Trust in connection with the purchase or redemption of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover.
Except
when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed
by certain Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other
participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with
the Fund’s 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 Fund. Rather, most retail investors
will purchase and sell shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions
or fees.
To
the extent contemplated by an Authorized Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request
in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to SEI Investments Distribution
Co. (the “Distributor”), on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Distributor
may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares
as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral
equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the Authorized Participant Agreement. An Authorized Participant
Agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability
for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated
Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

TAX INFORMATION
The
amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on
investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences
may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable
earnings (accumulated losses) and paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the year that the differences arise.
No permanent differences have been reclassified within the components of Net Assets for the year ended April 30, 2025.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
As
with all exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), a shareholder of the Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could
lose money. The Fund is subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, trading price,
yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. Additional principal risks are disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.
Cash
Transactions Risk: The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind
securities. As a result, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash needed to meet
redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if
it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund’s
shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund’s
NAV. In effecting creations and redemptions in exchange for cash, the Fund may incur certain costs, including brokerage costs in
connection with investing cash received and may recognize capital gains in connection with cash redemptions, unlike an ETF that effects
creations and redemptions only in-kind. In addition, costs could be imposed on the Fund which would have
the effect of decreasing the Fund’s NAV to the extent the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an Authorized Participant.
Currency
Exchange Rate Risk: To the extent the Fund invests in securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies,
changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value
of the Fund’s investment and the value of your shares. Because the Fund’s NAV is determined in U.S. dollars, the
Fund’s NAV could decline if the currency of the non-U.S. market in which the Fund invests depreciates
against the U.S. dollar, even if the value of the Fund’s holdings, measured in the foreign currency, increases. Currency
exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may
change quickly and without warning and you may lose money.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS
OF INVESTING IN THE FUND (continued)
Emerging
Markets Securities Risk: Emerging markets are subject to greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic
instability, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more
developed markets. In addition, securities in emerging markets may be subject to greater price fluctuations than securities in more developed
markets. Differences in regulatory, accounting, auditing, and financial reporting and recordkeeping standards could impede the Adviser’s
ability to evaluate local companies and impact the Fund’s performance. Investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets
may also be exposed to risks related to a lack of liquidity, greater potential for market manipulation,
issuers’ limited reliable access to capital, and foreign investment structures. Additionally, the Fund may have limited
rights and remedies available to it to pursue claims against issuers in emerging markets.
Foreign
Securities Risk: Investments in non-U.S. securities involve certain risks that may not be present
with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in non-U.S. securities may be
subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to expropriation, nationalization or adverse political or economic developments.
Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity and decreased publicly available information about issuers. Investments in
non-U.S. securities also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional
trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. Non-U.S. issuers may also be subject to inconsistent
and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers. These
and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. In addition,
where all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio holdings trade in markets that are closed when the Fund’s market is open,
there may be valuation differences that could lead to differences between the Fund’s market price and the value of the Fund’s
portfolio holdings.
Indian
Securities Risk: Investment in Indian securities involves risks in addition to those associated with investments in securities
of issuers in more developed countries, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s assets. Such heightened risks include,
among others, political and legal uncertainty, greater government control over the economy, currency fluctuations or blockage and the
risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets.
The
securities market of India is considered an emerging market that is characterized by a small number of listed companies that have significantly
smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility and substantially less liquidity than companies in more developed markets. These
factors, coupled with restrictions on foreign investment and other factors, limit the supply of securities available for investment. This
will affect the rate at which the Fund is able to invest in securities of Indian companies, the purchase and sale prices for such securities,
and the timing of purchases and sales. Certain restrictions on foreign investment may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio,
subject the Fund to higher transaction costs, or inhibit the Fund’s ability to track the Index. The Fund’s investments in
securities of issuers located or operating in India, as well as its ability to track the Index, also may be limited or prevented, at times,
due to the limits on foreign ownership imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”).
Because
the Fund invests primarily in the securities of companies in India, it will be impacted by events or conditions affecting India. Political
and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in India could significantly affect the market in that country
and in surrounding or related countries and have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. There may be less reliable or publicly-available
information about the Indian market due to non-uniform regulatory, accounting, auditing or financial recordkeeping
standards, which could cause errors in the implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy and in index data, computation, and
construction. For these reasons, the Index Provider’s due diligence and oversight process with respect to index data, computation,
construction and rebalancing may be limited, all of which may have an adverse impact on the Fund. The Fund’s performance may depend
on issues other than those that affect U.S. companies and may be adversely affected by different rights and remedies associated
with emerging market investments, or the lack thereof, compared to those associated with U.S. companies. The Indian economy may
differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as the rate of growth of gross domestic product, the rate
of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS
OF INVESTING IN THE FUND (continued)
The
Indian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the economy, and the number of public
sector enterprises in India is substantial. Accordingly, Indian government actions in the future could have a significant effect on the
Indian economy. Despite recent downturns, the Indian economy has experienced generally sustained growth during the last several years.
There are no guarantees this will continue. While the Indian government has implemented economic structural reforms with the objective
of liberalizing India’s exchange and trade policies, reducing the fiscal deficit, controlling inflation, promoting a sound monetary
policy, reforming the financial sector, and placing greater reliance on market mechanisms to direct economic activity, there can be no
assurance that these policies will continue or that the economic recovery will be sustained. Religious and border disputes persist in
India. In addition, India has experienced civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries such as Pakistan. The Indian government
has confronted separatist movements in several Indian states. Investment and repatriation restrictions and tax laws in India may impact
the ability of the Fund to track its Index. Each of the factors described above could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance
and increase the volatility of the Fund.
Limited
Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk: Because the Fund is an ETF, only a limited number
of institutional investors (known as “Authorized Participants”) are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from
the Fund. 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 occurs, the risk of which is higher during periods of market stress, shares of the Fund may trade at a material
discount to NAV, possibly face delisting and may experience wider bid-ask spreads: (i) Authorized
Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants
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.
Market
Risk: The market price of an investment could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that
are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the
world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally.
The market value of an investment also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries such as labor shortages,
increased production costs, and competitive conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of
infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally
and on specific investments. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion
of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. Economies
and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities
of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity
of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Non-Diversification
Risk: The Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act, meaning that, as compared to a diversified fund,
it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers. As a result, the performance
of these issuers can have a substantial impact on the Fund’s performance.
Sector
Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to
the risks affecting those sectors. While the Fund’s sector exposure is expected to vary over time based on the composition of the
Index, the Fund anticipates that it may be subject to some or all of the risks described below. As of April 30, 2025, a significant
portion of the Index consisted of companies in the Financials Sector.
Financials
Sector Risk: Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which may limit both the amounts and
types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities,
the prices they can charge and the amount of capital

must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest
rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in
a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide
range of financial institutions and markets.

RECENT MARKET EVENTS
Local,
regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions,

and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, took extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support
local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by keeping
interest rates at historically low levels for an extended period. The Federal Reserve concluded its market support activities in 2022
and began to raise interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. However, the Federal Reserve has recently lowered interest rates and
may continue to do so. Trade disputes and the imposition of tariffs, along with other matters, may negatively impact the economies of
the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets as a whole. This and other government intervention
into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic, inflation, or other significant events in the future may not work as intended,
particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In
December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”),
Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure
requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that
is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Fund’s financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Fund has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial
statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

of Trustees of Exchange Traded Concepts Trust
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Range India Financials ETF
(formerly, Nifty India Financials ETF) (the “Fund”), a series of Exchange Traded Concepts Trust, as of April 30,
2025, the related statement 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, the financial highlights for the years ended April 30, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and for the
period October 20, 2020 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2021, 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 the Fund as of April 30, 2025, the results of its 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 the years ended April 30,
2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and for the period October 20, 2020 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2021, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s
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 Fund 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 April 30,
2025, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 investment companies advised by Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC since 2012.
