How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (April 7, 2026) through April 30, 2026, SPCL had a NAV total return of 7.67%. SPCL seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of an index of pure-play space industry companies. The fund's very short operating history limits the available performance data.

What factors influenced performance?

Given its very brief operating history of approximately three weeks, SPCL's performance to date primarily reflects initial market conditions at launch and early investor positioning. The fund's underlying space sector index is broadly influenced by commercial launch activity, satellite deployment trends, government space program spending, and investor sentiment toward commercial space exploration companies.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (March 2, 2026) through April 30, 2026, DRNL had a NAV total return of -42.41%. DRNL seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of an index focused on drone and aerial automation companies. The fund's 2x leverage magnifies the daily movements of its underlying index.

What factors influenced performance?

Drone and aerial automation stocks were constrained by increasing development costs, fierce margin compression within the sector, and shareholder dilution. Regulatory developments limiting broader commercial drone operations, government procurement activity, and quarterly results from constituent companies shaped index performance that DRNL amplifies through its daily 2x leverage.

What factors influenced performance?

Arista Networks' performance was driven by strong demand for its data center networking solutions, particularly from hyperscale cloud customers building AI infrastructure. Revenue growth, margin trends, and competitive positioning in high-speed networking influenced investor sentiment. The broader AI infrastructure investment cycle and cloud capex spending trends by major technology companies provided significant tailwinds for ANET's stock.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (October 23, 2025) through April 30, 2026, AVXX had a NAV total return of -81.10%. AVXX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of AVAV (AeroVironment, Inc.). The fund's 2x leverage magnifies AVAV's daily stock movements in AVXX.

What factors influenced performance?

AeroVironment's stock performance was shaped by defense contract awards, demand for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) from the U.S. military and allied forces, and the growing role of drones in modern warfare. The company's product pipeline, including loitering munitions and tactical UAS platforms, and the broader defense spending environment influenced investor sentiment. Geopolitical developments affecting defense procurement drove episodic stock volatility.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, AVGX had a NAV total return of 246.52%. AVGX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of AVGO (Broadcom Inc.). Fluctuations in AVGO's stock price are magnified in AVGX due to its leveraged structure.

What factors influenced performance?

Broadcom's performance was driven by strong demand for its custom AI accelerator chips and networking semiconductors, particularly from hyperscaler customers. The company's growing AI revenue, strategic acquisitions, and results from its VMware integration shaped investor sentiment. Broader semiconductor sector trends, interest rate movements, and macro conditions also contributed to stock volatility amplified through AVGX's 2x leverage.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (February 17, 2026) through April 30, 2026, COPZ had a NAV total return of -19.80%. COPZ seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of an index of copper mining companies. The fund's 2x leverage magnifies the daily movements of its underlying index.

What factors influenced performance?

Copper mining stocks were influenced by global copper prices, which are sensitive to industrial demand trends—particularly from electric vehicle production, renewable energy infrastructure, and construction activity. Supply-side dynamics including mine production levels, labor disputes, and geopolitical risks in key copper-producing regions such as Chile and Peru affected stock performance. The fund's compounding effects over the holding period caused returns to deviate from a simple 2x multiple.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (July 30, 2025) through April 30, 2026, DKNX had a NAV total return of -81.57%. DKNX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of DKNG (DraftKings Inc.). The fund's 2x leverage magnifies DKNG's daily stock movements in DKNX.

Quarterly results, user acquisition costs, and the company's path to profitability influenced investor sentiment. Broader market conditions and legislative developments in online gambling regulation added to stock volatility.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, HIMZ had a NAV total return of -83.18%. HIMZ seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of HIMS (Hims & Hers Health, Inc.). The fund's 2x leverage means that over periods longer than a day, compounding effects can lead to returns that deviate significantly from the expected multiple.

What factors influenced performance?

Hims & Hers Health's stock was shaped by regulatory developments around compounded GLP-1 medications, competitive pressures from traditional pharmaceutical companies, and the company's strategic pivots toward personalized treatment offerings. Revenue growth, subscriber metrics, and management's ability to adapt to the evolving telehealth and pharmaceutical regulatory landscape were key drivers of stock volatility.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, IONX had a NAV total return of -9.68%. IONX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of IONQ (IonQ, Inc.). High volatility in IONQ's stock can exacerbate compounding effects, leading to greater divergence from the expected 2x multiple over time.

What factors influenced performance?

IONQ's stock was influenced by developments in the commercial quantum computing market, including new customer contracts, government initiatives, and technology milestones. Skepticism from industry peers regarding near-term quantum computing viability was balanced against strategic investments and insider confidence. Quarterly financial results and revenue growth relative to expectations drove episodic volatility amplified through IONX's leveraged structure.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (October 20, 2025) through April 30, 2026, IRE had a NAV total return of -73.32%. IRE seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of IREN (IREN Limited, formerly Iris Energy). The fund's 2x leverage magnifies IREN's daily stock movements in IRE.

What factors influenced performance?

IREN's stock performance was driven by Bitcoin mining economics including Bitcoin price levels, network difficulty, and the post-halving impact on mining profitability. The company's expansion into AI cloud computing services using its high-performance computing infrastructure provided an additional revenue driver. Energy costs, hash rate growth, and broader cryptocurrency market sentiment influenced stock volatility amplified through IRE's 2x leverage.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (December 29, 2025) through April 30, 2026, KEEX had a NAV total return of -4.71%. KEEX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of KEEL (Keel Infrastructure Corp.). The fund's 2x leverage magnifies KEEL's daily stock movements in KEEX.

What factors influenced performance?

The underlying stock's performance was shaped by company-specific developments, financial results, and broader sector dynamics relevant to its business operations. The fund's 2x daily leverage reset means that performance over periods longer than one day will deviate from a simple 2x multiple of the underlying stock's cumulative return, particularly during periods of elevated volatility.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, MSTX had a NAV total return of -91.79%. MSTX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of MSTR (Strategy, Inc., formerly MicroStrategy). The fund's returns are closely tied to Bitcoin's price movements via MSTR's Bitcoin holdings.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, NVOX had a NAV total return of -73.92%. NVOX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of NVO (Novo Nordisk A/S). The fund's daily leverage reset means performance over multi-day periods will deviate from a simple 2x multiple, particularly in volatile markets.

What factors influenced performance?

Novo Nordisk's stock was influenced by competitive pressures in the GLP-1 weight-loss drug market, pipeline updates for next-generation obesity treatments, and clinical trial outcomes. Leadership transitions, U.S. pricing and regulatory dynamics for obesity drugs, and quarterly financial results affected investor confidence. Volatility drag from daily compounding further amplified these fluctuations on NVOX's returns.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, SOFX had a NAV total return of -1.36%. SOFX seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of SOFI (SoFi Technologies, Inc.). Any fluctuations in SOFI's stock price are magnified in SOFX through its 2x daily leverage.

What factors influenced performance?

SoFi's performance was shaped by the interest rate environment affecting its lending and banking segments, growth in its financial services and technology platform businesses, and management's forward guidance. Macroeconomic factors including Federal Reserve policy, consumer credit trends, and fintech sector sentiment drove stock volatility. SOFX's compounding effects over the holding period added additional deviation from the expected 2x multiple.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

From inception (November 13, 2025) through April 30, 2026, DAMD had a NAV total return of -71.25%. DAMD seeks to deliver twice the daily inverse performance of AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.). As an inverse leveraged fund, it experiences losses when AMD's stock rises.

What factors influenced performance?

AMD's stock performance was shaped by competitive dynamics in the CPU and GPU markets against Intel and NVIDIA, adoption of its AI accelerator chips (Instinct MI series) by cloud and enterprise customers, and quarterly financial results. The broader semiconductor sector cycle, hyperscaler AI capex spending, and AMD's market share in data center GPUs influenced investor sentiment. These factors created headwinds for DAMD during periods of AMD stock appreciation.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, SMST had a NAV total return of 6.30%. SMST seeks to deliver twice the daily inverse performance of MSTR. As an inverse leveraged fund, it experiences losses when MSTR's stock rises and gains when it falls.

What factors influenced performance?

MSTR's strong correlation with Bitcoin prices was the primary driver of SMST's performance. Periods of Bitcoin appreciation contributed to losses for SMST due to its inverse exposure. Daily rebalancing and volatility drag caused the fund's returns to deviate from the expected -2x multiple over longer holding periods, a structural characteristic of leveraged inverse products.

How did the Fund perform last year and what influenced its performance?

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, SMCZ had a NAV total return of -79.72%. SMCZ seeks to deliver twice the daily inverse performance of SMCI (Super Micro Computer, Inc.). As an inverse leveraged fund, it gains when SMCI declines and loses when SMCI rises.

What factors influenced performance?

SMCI's stock volatility—driven by accounting-related uncertainties, AI server market dynamics, and corporate governance concerns—directly influenced SMCZ's performance. The daily rebalancing mechanism and compounding effects caused SMCZ's returns to diverge from the expected -2x multiple over longer holding periods. Periods where SMCI recovered from prior declines were particularly impactful given the asymmetric nature of leveraged inverse exposure.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Security Valuation - Equity 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, LLC (“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 on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on the NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents each day that the Funds are open for business.

 

Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and ask prices provided by independent pricing agents. The independent pricing agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities.

 

Swap contract terms are agreed among the counterparty and the Adviser. Total return swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying reference asset, which may include individual stocks, baskets of securities, market indices, exchange-traded funds, or other instruments that the contract is tracking.

 

Options contracts are valued using the mean/mid of quoted bid and ask spread prices, as provided by independent pricing vendors. FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) listed on an exchange will typically be valued at a model-based price provided by the exchange at the official close of that exchange’s trading day. However, when the Funds’ options have a same-day market trade price, this same-day market trade price will be used for FLEX Option values instead of the exchange’s model-based price. If the exchange on which the option is traded is unable to provide a model price, model-based FLEX Options prices will additionally be provided by a backup third-party pricing provider. In selecting the model prices, the Adviser may provide a review of the calculation of model prices provided by each vendor, and may note to such vendors of any data errors observed, or where an underlying component value of the model pricing package may be missing or incorrect, prior to publication by the vendor of the model pricing to the Fund Accounting Agent for purposes of that day’s net asset value (“NAV”). If either pricing vendor is not available to provide a model price for that day, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Valuation Procedures (as defined below). In instances where in the same trading day a particular FLEX Option is both represented in an all-cash basket (either a creation unit or redemption unit), as well as in an in-kind basket (either a creation unit or redemption unit), for valuation purposes that trading day the Funds will default to use the trade price for both instances, rather than using the model price otherwise available for the in-kind transaction.

Investments in money market mutual funds are valued at each underlying fund’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of the valuation time. Each underlying money market fund calculates NAV using the amortized cost method (which approximates fair value) as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

 

Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

 

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

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 instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund's investments as of April 30, 2026:

Derivative Instruments - As the buyer of a call option, each Fund has a right to buy the underlying reference instrument (e.g., a currency or security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). Each Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. For example, a Fund may buy call options on underlying reference instruments that it intends to buy with the goal of limiting the risk of a substantial increase in their market price before the purchase is effected. Unless the price of the underlying reference instrument changes sufficiently, a call option purchased by a Fund may expire without any value to the Fund, in which case such Fund would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs.

 

As the buyer of a put option, each Fund has the right to sell the underlying reference instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). Like a call option, each Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to put options, exercise them or permit them to expire. A Fund may buy a put option on an underlying reference instrument owned by the Fund (a protective put) as a hedging technique in an attempt to protect against an anticipated decline in the market value of the underlying reference instrument. Such hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option when a Fund, as the buyer of the put option, is able to sell the underlying reference instrument at the put exercise price, regardless of any decline in the underlying instrument’s market price. Each Fund may also seek to offset a decline in the value of the underlying reference instrument through appreciation in the value of the put option. Put options may also be purchased with the intent of protecting unrealized appreciation of an instrument when the Adviser deems it desirable to continue to hold the instrument because of tax or other considerations. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any short-term capital gain that may be available for distribution when the instrument is eventually sold. Buying put options at a time when the buyer does not own the underlying reference instrument allows the buyer to benefit from a decline in the market price of the underlying reference instrument, which generally increases the value of the put option.

If a put option was not terminated in a closing sale transaction when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying reference instrument remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the buyer would not make any gain upon exercise of the option and would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying reference instrument must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs.

 

Writing options may permit the writer to generate additional income in the form of the premium received for writing the option. The writer of an option may have no control over when the underlying reference instruments must be sold (in the case of a call option) or purchased (in the case of a put option) because the writer may be notified of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the option (for American style options). In general, though, options are infrequently exercised prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium. Writing “covered” call options means that the writer owns the underlying reference instrument that is subject to the call option. Call options may also be written on reference instruments that the writer does not own.

 

If a Fund writes a covered call option, any underlying reference instruments that are held by the Fund and are subject to the call option will be earmarked on the books of such Fund as segregated to satisfy its obligations under the option. A Fund will be unable to sell the underlying reference instruments that are subject to the written call option until it either effects a closing transaction with respect to the written call, or otherwise satisfies the conditions for release of the underlying reference instruments from segregation. As the writer of a covered call option, a Fund gives up the potential for capital appreciation above the exercise price of the option should the underlying reference instrument rise in value. If the value of the underlying reference instrument rises above the exercise price of the call option, the reference instrument will likely be “called away,” requiring a Fund to sell the underlying instrument at the exercise price. In that case, the Fund will sell the underlying reference instrument to the option buyer for less than its market value, and such Fund will experience a loss (which will be offset by the premium received by the Fund as the writer of such option). If a call option expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received. If the market price of the underlying reference instrument decreases, the call option will not be exercised and the Fund will be able to use the amount of the premium received to hedge against the loss in value of the underlying reference instrument. The exercise price of a call option will be chosen based upon the expected price movement of the underlying reference instrument. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to (at-the-money), or above the current value of the underlying reference instrument at the time the option is written.

 

As the writer of a put option, each Fund has a risk of loss should the underlying reference instrument decline in value. If the value of the underlying reference instrument declines below the exercise price of the put option and the put option is exercised, the Funds, as the writer of the put option, will be required to buy the instrument at the exercise price, which will exceed the market value of the underlying reference instrument at that time. Each Fund will incur a loss to the extent that the current market value of the underlying reference instrument is less than the exercise price of the put option. However, the loss will be offset in part by the premium received from the buyer of the put option. If a put option written by the Funds expires unexercised, such Funds will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received.

 

Each Fund may enter into total return swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position. A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Swap agreements will usually be done on a net basis, i.e., where the two parties make net payments with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest and commission paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. In certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the counterparty will pay the Fund interest. These swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities by each Fund to the counterparty. The net amount of the excess, if any, of each Fund’s obligations owed over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian. Until a swap contract, or a portion of a swap contract, is settled in cash, reset, terminated, partially unwound or closed according to its terms, the changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Upon such event, the related gain or loss is recorded as net realized gain or loss from swap contracts. A partial unwind or other contractual reduction is treated as a realized event when the related swap economics are extinguished or reduced, regardless of whether the related cash is received or paid on the same date. Certain Funds may receive or deliver cash from or to swap counterparties based on the mark-to-market value of outstanding swap contracts. Such transfers may represent either settlement of swap economics or collateral, variation margin, excess variation margin or similar mark-to-market transfers, depending on the applicable contractual terms and counterparty settlement mechanics. Amounts applied to settle or partially settle the related swap economics are reflected in net realized gain or loss from swap contracts and reduce the related unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Amounts not applied to settle or reduce the related swap value and that remain subject to return, recall or future application are reflected as cash, segregated cash, due from broker or due to broker, as applicable, and the related swap remains recorded at fair value with changes reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts.

Amounts presented as due from broker or due to broker may include amounts receivable or payable for contractual swap resets, financing resets, partial unwinds, terminations or other settlement events, and cash collateral, variation margin, excess variation margin or similar mark-to-market transfers posted to or received from counterparties. The transfer or receipt of cash or collateral does not, by itself, reduce the notional amount, economic exposure or daily target leveraged exposure of a swap contract unless the swap contract is amended, reset, partially unwound, terminated or otherwise contractually modified to reduce such notional amount or exposure. 

 

By virtue of each Fund’s investments in option contracts, equity ETFs and equity indices, each Fund is exposed to common stocks indirectly which subjects that Fund to equity market risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers. Equity securities may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which each Fund invests.

 

Each Fund has adopted financial reporting rules and regulations that require enhanced disclosure regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2026, each Fund’s monthly average notional amount is described below for any derivatives that they invested in:

The total return swap contracts are subject to master netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedules of Total Return Swap Contracts are gross settlement amounts.

 

Under the master netting agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant master netting agreements with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of master netting agreements.

 

The following table presents the Funds’ gross derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty and contract type, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and the related collateral received or pledged by the Funds, as of April 30, 2026.

Federal Income Taxes - Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

 

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to RICs, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year, at least 98% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years. As a RIC, each Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if a Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Funds' fiscal year). The Funds generally intend to distribute income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize (but not necessarily eliminate) the imposition of such excise tax. The Funds may retain income or capital gains and pay excise tax when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of shareholders. Management evaluates the costs of the excise tax relative to the benefits of retaining income and capital gains, including that such undistributed amounts (net of the excise tax paid) remain available for investment by the Funds and are available to supplement future distributions. Tax expense is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable.

 

As of April 30, 2026, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for AVGX ETF, DKNX ETF, LLYX ETF, MSTX ETF, NVOX ETF, ORCX ETF, SMCX ETF AND SOFX ETF are declared and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the remaining Funds are declared and paid annually. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for the Funds normally are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Use of Estimates - 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. 

 

Share Valuation - The NAV per Share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of Shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The AMA ETF, ANEL ETF, AVXX ETF, AVGX ETF, CVNX ETF, DKNX ETF, HIMZ ETF, HOOX ETF, IONX ETF, IRE ETF, LMNX ETF, MPL ETF MRNX ETF, MSTX ETF, OKLL ETF, ORCX ETF, QSU ETF, SMCX ETF, SOFX ETF, SOUX ETF, VSTL ETF, SMST ETF, and SMCZ ETF Shares will not be priced on the days on which The NASDAQ or The New York Stock Exchange (”NYSE”) is closed for trading. The BU ETF, COPZ ETF, DAMD ETF, LLYX ETF, ZETX ETF, and NVOX ETF Shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“ARCA”) or NYSE is closed for trading. DRNL ETF, KEEX ETF, LNOK ETF, LUNL ETF, ONDL ETF, PLU ETF, POEL ETF, RKTL ETF, and SPCL ETF Shares will not be priced on the days on which the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“CBOE”) or NYSE is closed for trading.

Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. 

 

Illiquid Securities - Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If a Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by a Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program. 

 

Derivatives Transactions - Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the SEC imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as senior securities. Under Rule 18f-4, a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund’s board of trustees, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds have implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivative Risk Management Program that complies with Rule 18f-4.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts - U.S. GAAP requires 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 NAV per Share. These differences are primarily due to equalization or NOL lost.

NOTE 3 - PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

 

Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. Each Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and a Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from two times (200%) the respective Underlying Security’s performance, before a Fund’s management fee and other expenses. Compounding affects all investments but has a more significant impact on funds that aim to replicate leveraged daily returns and that rebalance daily. For each Fund aiming to replicate two times the daily performance of its Underlying Security, if adverse daily performance of the Underlying Security reduces the amount of a shareholder’s investment, any further adverse daily performance will lead to a smaller dollar loss because the shareholder’s investment had already been reduced by the prior adverse performance. Equally, however, if favorable daily performance of the Underlying Security increases the amount of a shareholder’s investment, the dollar amount lost due to future adverse performance will increase because the shareholder’s investment has increased. The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced as an Underlying Security’s volatility and the holding period increase. The effect of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in a Fund is held and the volatility of the respective Underlying Security during a shareholder’s holding period of an investment in each Fund.

Daily Correlation/Tracking Risk. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation to the Target Portfolio and therefore achieve their daily leveraged investment objective. To achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Target Portfolio, each Fund seeks to rebalance their portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with their daily leveraged investment objective. The possibility of the Funds being materially over- or under-exposed to the Target Portfolio increases on days when the Target Portfolio is volatile near the close of the trading day. Additionally, if securities within the Target Portfolio exhibit unexpected or heightened correlations, each Fund’s ability to achieve their daily investment objective may be adversely impacted as overlapping exposures may reduce potential diversification benefits and amplify the effects of market movements. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and extreme volatility will also adversely affect each Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels. If there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the Target Portfolio experiences a significant increase or decline, each Fund may not meet their investment objective, be able to rebalance their portfolio appropriately, or may experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads. Each Fund may have difficulty achieving their daily leveraged investment objective due to fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Funds. The Funds may also be impacted by large movements of assets into and out of the Funds, potentially resulting in the Funds being over- or under-exposed to the Target Portfolio. The Funds may take or refrain from taking positions to improve the tax efficiency or to comply with various regulatory restrictions, either of which may negatively impact each Fund’s leveraged correlation to the Target Portfolio. Finally, during periods of high volatility, compounding effects and correlation shifts between securities in the Target Portfolio may cause each Fund’s returns to deviate materially from two times (2X) the daily performance of the Target Portfolio.

 

Leverage Risk. The Funds obtain investment exposure in excess of their net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to their investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in each Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of the Target Portfolio will be magnified. This means that an investment in each Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in the share price of the Target Portfolio, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Funds could theoretically lose an amount greater than their net assets in the event the share price of the Target Portfolio declines more than 50%. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in each Fund’s performances correlation with the Target Portfolio’s share price.

 

As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your principal investment in the Funds. The Funds are subject to the above principal risks, as well as other principal risks which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet their objectives. For more information about the risks of investing in the Funds, see the section in each Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund — Principal Investment Risks.” 

 

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Adviser serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds (the “Advisory Agreement”), and, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, provides investment advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and oversight of the Board. The Adviser is also responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions.

Out of the Investment Advisory Fees, the Adviser is obligated to pay or arrange for the payment of substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other related services necessary for the Funds to operate. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds except for 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, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, (collectively, “Excluded Expenses”), and the Investment Advisory Fees payable to the Adviser. The Investment Advisory Fees incurred are paid monthly to the Adviser. Investment Advisory Fees for the periods ended April 30, 2026 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

 

The Adviser has entered into an agreement with Defiance ETFs, LLC ("Defiance") under which Defiance assumes the obligations of the Adviser to pay all or a portion of expenses of the Fund, except Excluded Expenses (such expenses of the Fund, except Excluded Expenses, the "Unitary Expenses"). For assuming the payment obligations of the Fund, the Adviser has agreed to pay Defiance a corresponding share of the profits, if any, generated by the Fund's unitary fee less a contractual fee retained by the Adviser. Expenses incurred by the Fund and paid by Defiance include fees charged by Tidal ETF Services LLC (“Tidal”), a Tidal Financial Group company and an affiliate of the Adviser. Although Defiance has agreed to be responsible for all or a portion of the Unitary Expenses of the Fund, the Adviser retains the ultimate obligation to the Fund to pay such expenses.

 

Tidal serves as the Funds' administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and management services for the Funds. Tidal coordinates the payment of Fund-related expenses and manages the Trust’s relationships with its various service providers. As compensation for the services it provides, Tidal receives a fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, subject to a minimum annual fee. Tidal also is entitled to certain out-of-pocket expenses for the services mentioned above.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), serves as the Funds' fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities, Fund Services performs various accounting and transfer agency services for the Funds. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds' custodian. Prior to April 1, 2026, Fund Services also served as the Funds' sub-administrator.

 

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds' principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of each Fund’s Shares. 

 

Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser. Neither the affiliated trustee nor the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds. 

 

The Board has adopted a Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of their average daily net assets each year to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its Shares. 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, because the fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges.

 

NOTE 5 - SEGMENT REPORTING

 

In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), each Fund has evaluated their business activities and determined that they each operate as a single reportable segment.

 

Each Fund's investment activities are managed by the Principal Financial Officer, which serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Principal Financial Officer is responsible for assessing each Fund’s financial performance and allocating resources. In making these assessments, the Principal Financial Officer evaluates each Fund’s financial results on an aggregated basis, rather than by separate segments. As such, the Funds do not allocate operating expenses or assets to multiple segments, and accordingly, no additional segment disclosures are required. There were no intra-entity sales or transfers during the reporting period.

 

The Funds primarily generate income through dividends, interest, and realized/unrealized gains on their investment portfolios. Expenses incurred, including management fees, Fund operating expenses, and transaction costs, are considered general Fund-level expenses and are not allocated to specific segments or business lines.

 

Management has determined that the Funds do not meet the criteria for disaggregated segment reporting under ASU 2023-07 and will continue to evaluate its reporting requirements in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

NOTE 9 - SHARES TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares of AMA ETF, ANEL ETF, AVXX ETF, AVGX ETF, BU ETF, CVNX ETF, DKNX ETF, HIMZ ETF, HOOX ETF, IONX ETF, LMNX ETF, MSTX ETF, OKLL ETF, ORCX ETF, SMCX ETF, SOFX ETF, SOUX ETF, VSTL ETF, SMST ETF, and SMCZ ETF are listed on the NASDAQ. Shares of COPZ ETF, IRE ETF, LLYX ETF, MPL ETF, MRNX ETF, NVOX ETF, QSU ETF, ZETX ETF, and DAMD ETF are listed on the ARCA. Shares of DRNL ETF, SPCL ETF, KEEX ETF, LUNL ETF, LNOK ETF, ONDL ETF, PLU ETF, POEL ETF, and RKTL ETF are listed on the CBOE. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of Shares, called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by 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 participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the Shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

 

Each Fund currently offers one class of Shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for each Fund is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units and Redemption Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units and Redemption Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of Shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All Shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

 

NOTE 10 - RECENT MARKET EVENTS

 

U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, armed conflict, war, and geopolitical conflict. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated.

 

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Effective June 8, 2026, the SPCL ETF’s name changed from “Defiance Pure Space Daily 2X Strategy ETF” to “Defiance Daily 2X Space ETF”. The change in the SPCL ETF’s name will have no effect on its investment objective or strategy. Between May 27-28, 2026, the Board determined to close and liquidate the BU ETF and the CVNX ETF at the recommendation of the Adviser. Each Fund ceased operations, liquidated its assets, and distributed the liquidation proceeds to shareholders on June 12, 2026. Management has determined that there are no additional subsequent events that would need to be recognized or disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.
