Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2011.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the one year data in the Financial Highlights.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a "Creation Unit." Creation Units of each Fund are issued and redeemed generally in-kind for securities included in a specified index, except for MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio, which issues and redeems Creation Units principally for cash and partially in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Listed options, if no closing price is available, are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

With respect to each of FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Small-Mid Portfolio and FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Portfolio, each Fund's use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Funds holding a smaller number of securities than are in its respective Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held by the Funds could result in a greater decline in net asset values than would be the case if the Funds held all of the securities in their respective Underlying Indices. To the extent the assets in the Funds are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Pursuant to the methodology of the Index Provider used to calculate and maintain the Underlying Index of the MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio, when a security in the Underlying Index reaches its limitation on foreign ownership, it will be removed from the Underlying Index that day. As a result, the Fund may be forced to sell securities at inopportune times or for prices other than at current market values or may elect not to sell such securities on the day that they are removed from the Underlying Index, due to market

conditions or otherwise. Due to these factors, the variation between the Fund's annual return and the return of its Underlying Index may increase significantly.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Emerging Markets Infrastructure Portfolio, FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Portfolio, Global Agriculture Portfolio, Global Coal Portfolio, Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio, Global Steel Portfolio, Global Water Portfolio, Global Wind Portfolio and MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio are considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

Non-Correlation Risk. A Fund's return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of a Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between a Fund's portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Foreign, Frontier and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of, and less reliable, financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. As certain Funds invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Fund's returns.

Geographic Risk. Funds that are less diversified across geographic regions or countries, are generally riskier than more diversified funds. The economies and financial markets of certain regions can be interdependent and may all decline at the same time.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies' securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Cash Transaction Risk. With respect to MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio, unlike most exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), the Fund currently effects creations and redemptions principally for cash and partially in-kind, rather than primarily in-kind, because of the nature of the Fund's investments. As such, investments in the Fund's Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to Federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and Passive Foreign Investment Company investments.

The Funds file tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records on ex-dividend date, except with respect to Global Agriculture Portfolio, Global Coal Portfolio, Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, Global Steel Portfolio, Global Wind Energy Portfolio and MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio, which are declared and paid annually. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund's financial statements as a return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholders' per share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital shares. Equalization is calculated on a per share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital shares is applied to


103



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

H. Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of London world markets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds' investments, managing the Funds' business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

Note 4. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as 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, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other


105



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

With respect to each Fund, during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 5. Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under Internal Revenue Code rules and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds have capital loss carryforward amounts as of October 31, 2010, which expire on October 31 of each year listed below:

Note 7. Trustees' Fees

The Funds compensate each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a "Participating Trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation ("Deferral Fees"). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected.

Note 8. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Trust only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 Shares (100,000 Shares for DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Small-Mid Portfolio and FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio and 75,000 Shares for Global Clean Energy Portfolio and MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio). Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Except for MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio, such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of each Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio (the "Fund") currently effects redemptions principally for cash and partially in-kind, rather than primarily in-kind redemptions, because of the nature of the Fund's investments. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. The Fund may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have been incurred if the Fund had made a redemption entirely in-kind, which may decrease the tax efficiency of the Fund compared to ETFs that utilize an entirely in-kind redemption process.

MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio charges fixed and variable transaction fees for creations and redemptions which are treated as increases in capital.

Note 9. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees,


112



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that the correlation for each Fund, other than PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement and the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio's level of correlation to its underlying index, including the Adviser's representation that a primary cause is the abnormally low yield environment and its expectation that, over time, the Fund's correlation will return to within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund's correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's total expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses.

0.25%:  PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio, PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio and PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Coal Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals

Portfolio, PowerShares Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Steel Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Global Wind Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio and PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio, which was lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable open-end index peer fund information available for PowerShares Dynamic Developed International Opportunities Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until April 20, 2012, for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and PowerShares MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund's advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.


115



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2011.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio and the PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolios") bear directly, the Portfolios indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolios invest. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolios will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolios. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolios invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolios' total return.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Listed options, if no closing price is available, are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as

institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), the Build America Bond Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio currently effect creations and redemptions primarily for cash, rather than primarily in-kind because of the nature of the Funds' investments. As such, investments in such Funds' Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

With respect to each of the Build America Bond Portfolio, CEF Income Composite Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio, Preferred Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, each Fund's use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its respective Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held by the Funds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Funds held all of the securities in their respective Underlying Indices. To the extent the assets in the Funds are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund (except for Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio) is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund's return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund's portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. As certain Funds will invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Funds' returns.

Geographic Risk. Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio and Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio are less diversified across geographic regions, which may subject the Funds to increased risks related to these regions. The economies and financial markets of certain regions can be interdependent and may all decline at the same time.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. With respect to Preferred Portfolio, investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing


73



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

in larger, more established companies. These companies' securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Restricted Securities Risk. With respect to Build America Bond Portfolio and Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, limitations on the resale of private placements or restricted securities may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent a Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. A Fund may have to bear the expense of registering the securities for resale and the risk of substantial delays in effecting the registration.

Preferred Securities Risk. There are special risks associated with the Preferred Portfolio's investments in preferred securities. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of time. If the Fund owns a security that is deferring or omitting its distributions, the Fund may be required to report the distribution on its tax returns, even though it may not have received this income. Further, preferred securities may lose substantial value due to the omission or deferment of dividend payments. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. Preferred securities may also be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer's capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment than more senior securities. In addition, in certain circumstances, an issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date, and this may negatively impact the return of the security. Certain of the companies that comprise the Fund's Underlying Index, while traded on U.S. exchanges, may be issued by foreign financial institutions and, therefore, subject the Fund to the risks of investing in securities issued by foreign companies.

High Yield Securities Risk. With respect to Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio and Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, investments in high yield securities may involve greater risk and investments are generally less liquid than higher grade issues. The ability of issuers of high yield securities to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely impacted by changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when a particular investment is difficult to purchase or sell. If a Fund invests in illiquid securities or current portfolio securities become illiquid, it may reduce the returns of the Fund because the Fund may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.

Municipal Securities Risk. With respect to Build America Bond Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer's ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market. Because certain Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets in state specific municipal securities, such Funds will have greater exposure to negative political, economic and statutory factors within that state than a fund that invests in a broader base of securities.


74



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Investments in Closed-End Investment Companies. With respect to CEF Income Composite Portfolio, the shares of closed-end investment companies may trade at a discount or premium to, or at, their net asset value ("NAV").

The securities of closed-end investment companies in which the Fund may invest may be leveraged. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to leverage through an investment in such securities. An investment in securities of closed-end investment companies that use leverage may expose the Fund to higher volatility in the market value of such securities and the possibility that the Fund's long-term returns on such securities (and, indirectly, the long-term returns of the Shares) will be diminished.

The Fund will be subject to provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), that limit the amount the Fund can invest in any one closed-end investment company to 3% of the closed-end investment company's total outstanding stock. As a result, the Fund may hold a smaller position in an closed-end investment company than if it were not subject to this restriction. To comply with provisions of the 1940 Act, on any matter upon which the closed-end investment company shareholders are solicited to vote the Adviser will vote closed-end investment company shares in the same general proportion as shares held by other shareholders of the closed-end investment company.

Risk of Limited Issuance. With respect to Build America Bond Portfolio, there can be no assurance that Build America Bonds will actually be traded. Furthermore, the ability of municipalities to issue Build America Bonds expired on December 31, 2010. As a result, the number of Build America Bonds available in the market is limited, which may negatively affect the value of the Build America Bonds.

Sovereign Debt Risk. With respect to Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, investments in sovereign debt securities involve special risks. The governmental authority that controls the repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such securities due to the extent of its foreign reserves; the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due; the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole; or the government debtor's policy towards the International Monetary Fund and the political constraints to which a government debtor may be subject. If an issuer of sovereign debt defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor.

Global Bonds Risk. With respect to Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio and International Corporate Bond Portfolio, global bonds are subject to the same risks as other debt issues, notably credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Generally, investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to Federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for


75



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company investments.

The Funds file tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income, including accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies in which CEF Income Composite Portfolio and Build America Bond Portfolio invest, and other extraordinary expenses.

Expenses included for CEF Income Composite Portfolio and Build America Bond Portfolio in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which the Funds invest. The effects of the investment companies' expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain/loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund's financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

H. Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translataed into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of London world markets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds' investments, managing the Funds' business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. The Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies in which CEF Income Composite Portfolio and Build America Bond Portfolio invest and other extraordinary expenses. The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

    % of Average

* The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its unitary management fee until April 20, 2012. After giving effect to such waiver, the Fund's net unitary management fee is 0.28% of its average daily net assets. The fee waiver may be modified or terminated by the Adviser at its discretion after April 20, 2012.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the adviser.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as 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, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other


78



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

With respect to each Fund, during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under Internal Revenue Code rules and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforward amounts as of October 31, 2010, which expire on October 31 of each year listed below:

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Funds compensate each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a "Participating Trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation ("Deferral Fees"). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Trust only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 Shares (100,000 Shares for Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio and Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio). Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, CEF Income Composite Portfolio, Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio and Preferred Portfolio transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of each Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. For Build America Bond Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, such transactions are principally for cash.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees,


83



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that the correlation for each Fund, other than PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement and the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio's level of correlation to its underlying index, including the Adviser's representation that a primary cause is the abnormally low yield environment and its expectation that, over time, the Fund's correlation will return to within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund's correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's total expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses.

0.25%:  PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio, PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio

0.95%:  PowerShares MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio and PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Coal Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

Portfolio, PowerShares Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Steel Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Global Wind Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio and PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio, which was lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable open-end index peer fund information available for PowerShares Dynamic Developed International Opportunities Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until April 20, 2012, for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and PowerShares MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund's advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.


86



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2011.

In addition to the fees and expenses which each Fund bears directly, each Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying exchange-traded funds ("ETF's") in which your Fund invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by your Fund will vary because the underlying ETFs have varied expenses and fee levels and each Fund may own different proportions of the underlying ETFs at different times. Estimated underlying ETF expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by your Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying ETFs and are deducted from the value of the funds your Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying ETFs expenses that you bear indirectly are included in your Fund's total return.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As of April 30, 2011, the Trust offered forty-five portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion
Portfolio
  Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio  
PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Balanced
Growth Portfolio
  RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio  
PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Growth &
Income Portfolio
  RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio  

 

Each portfolio (the "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as "Shares" or "Fund's Shares." Each Fund's Shares are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a "Creation Unit." Creation Units are issued and redeemed generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Fund   Index  
Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio   Ibbotson Alternative Completion IndexTM  
RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio   RiverFront Global Tactical Balanced Growth
IndexTM
 
RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio   RiverFront Global Tactical Balanced Growth &
Income IndexTM
 

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Listed options, if no closing price is available, are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.


17



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund's return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund's securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund's portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Fund of Funds Risk. Each Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing its assets in underlying ETFs. A Fund's investment performance, because it is a fund of funds, largely depends on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. An investment in a Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying ETFs that comprise its Underlying Index. Each Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying ETFs in which it invests (including operating expenses and management fees). There is a risk that the evaluations and assumptions of each Fund's Index Provider regarding the asset classes represented in the Underlying Index may be incorrect based on actual market conditions. In addition, at times certain segments of the market represented by constituent Underlying ETFs in the Underlying Index may be out of favor and underperform other segments.

Risks of Investing in ETNs. The return on an exchange-traded note ("ETN") is generally linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy minus applicable fees. ETNs do not provide principal protection and may or may not make periodic coupon payments. ETNs are subject to credit risk and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer's credit rating, despite the underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an ETN may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying assets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer's credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying asset. A Fund's decision to sell its ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market. Certain ETNs in which a Fund may invest may be linked to master limited partnerships ("MLPs"). Investments linked to MLP units are subject to certain risks inherent in the structure of MLPs, including (i) tax risks, (ii) the limited ability to elect or remove

management or the general partner or managing member, (iii) limited voting rights and (iv) conflicts of interest between the general partner or managing member and its affiliates and the limited partners or members. Moreover, the tax treatment of ETNs is uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert at any time that ETNs should be taxed in a manner that may adversely affect a Fund.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to Federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company investments.

The Funds file tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, expenses of the underlying ETFs that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the underlying ETFs and other extraordinary expenses.

Expenses included in each of the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses of the underlying ETFs, in which it invests. The effects of the underlying ETF's expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain/loss on the investments in the underlying ETFs.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund's financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.


19



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds' investments, managing the Funds' business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, expenses of the underlying ETFs that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the underlying ETFs and other extraordinary expenses.

Each Fund indirectly bears the fees and expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to some of the underlying ETFs. By virtue of the Fund's investments in affiliated underlying ETFs, the management fee received by the Adviser for managing the underlying ETFs will increase.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Distributor has entered into a Marketing Agreement with DB Commodity Services LLC and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (collectively, "Deutsche Bank") to assist in marketing activities with respect to the PowerShares DB ETFs in which each Fund may invest. The Distributor receives a fee from Deutsche Bank for these services. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for the Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio with Ibbotson Associates, and for the RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio and RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio with RiverFront Investment Group® (each a "Licensor"). Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use with the Funds. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of these Funds. The Trust has entered into a sub-licensing agreement under which each Fund may track its respective Underlying Index.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as 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, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

With respect to each Fund, during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distributions (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under Internal Revenue Code rules and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an 'interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a "Participating Trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation ("Deferral Fees"). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Trust only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of each Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees,


27



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that the correlation for each Fund, other than PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement and the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio's level of correlation to its underlying index, including the Adviser's representation that a primary cause is the abnormally low yield environment and its expectation that, over time, the Fund's correlation will return to within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund's correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's total expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses.

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until April 20, 2012, for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and PowerShares MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund's advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2011.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365.

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As of April 30, 2011, the Trust offered forty-five portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer
Discretionary Portfolio
  "S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary
Portfolio"
 
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer
Staples Portfolio
  "S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples
Portfolio"
 
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio   "S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio"  
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio   "S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio"

Technology Portfolio
  "S&P SmallCap Information Technology
Portfolio"
 
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio   "S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio"  
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio   "S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio"  

 

Each portfolio (the "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as "Shares" or "Fund's Shares." Each Fund's Shares are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ").

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a "Creation Unit." Creation Units are issued and redeemed generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Listed options, if no closing price is available, are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices,

American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund's return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund's portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Small Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies' stocks may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These stocks may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market. Often small capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and this may make them more sensitive to changing market conditions.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to Federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund's financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Equalization

All Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of


38

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds' investments, managing the Funds' business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. Each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.29% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for each Fund with Standard & Poor's (the "Licensor"). Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use with the Funds. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of these Funds. The Trust has entered into a sub-licensing agreement under which each Fund may track its respective Index.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Investments in Affiliates

The Funds and other certain underlying ETFs have the same investment adviser and, therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated ETFs for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as 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, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

With respect to each Fund, during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 6. Federal Income Tax

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code rules and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforward amounts as of October 31, 2010, which expire on October 31 of the year listed below:

    2018*  
S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio   $ 37,390    
S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio     22,594    

 

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Funds compensate each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a "Participating Trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation ("Deferral Fees"). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Trust only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of each Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general


42



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees,


44



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that the correlation for each Fund, other than PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement and the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio's level of correlation to its underlying index, including the Adviser's representation that a primary cause is the abnormally low yield environment and its expectation that, over time, the Fund's correlation will return to within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund's correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's total expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio and PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Coal Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals

Portfolio, PowerShares Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Steel Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Global Wind Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Ibbotson Alternative Completion Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Balanced Growth Portfolio, PowerShares RiverFront Tactical Growth & Income Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio and PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio, which was lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable open-end index peer fund information available for PowerShares Dynamic Developed International Opportunities Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until April 20, 2012, for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and PowerShares MENA Frontier Countries Portfolio. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund's advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.


47



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month (or shorter) period ended April 30, 2011.

In pursuing its investment objective, PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio (the "Portfolio") may invest a portion of its assets in investment companies. The Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The effect of such expenses are included in the Portfolio's total return.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period December 2, 2010 (Fund Inception) to April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 150 and then dividing the result by 365. Hypothetical expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As of April 30, 2011, the Trust offered forty-five portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield
Financial Portfolio
  "KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio"
 
PowerShares KBW International Financial Portfolio   "KBW International Financial Portfolio"  
PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity
REIT Portfolio
  "KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio"
 
PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty   "KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio"
Insurance Portfolio
   

 

Each portfolio (the "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as "Shares" or "Fund's Shares." Each Fund's Shares are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca").

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a "Creation Unit." Creation Units are issued and redeemed generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Fund   Index  
KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio   KBW Financial Sector Dividend Yield Index  
KBW International Financial Portfolio   KBW Global ex-U.S. Financial Sector Index  
KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio   KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Index  
KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio   KBW Property & Casualty Index  

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.


15



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Listed options, if no closing price is available, are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable with one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures

approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund's return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund's portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies' securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Equity Securities Risk. The prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

High Dividend Yield Securities Risk. The KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio's and the KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio's investments in high yielding, dividend paying securities, at times, may be out of favor and underperform other market segments (e.g., growth stocks).

REIT Risk. The KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio's and the KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio's investments in securities of real estate companies involve risks. Although the Funds will not invest in real estate directly, the REITs in which the Funds will invest will be subject to risks inherent

in the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk of a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers.

Financial Sector Risk. The KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio's and KBW International Financial Portfolio's investments in securities of the financial sector involve risks. The market value of securities of issuers in the financial sector can be affected by factors such as adverse regulatory or economic occurrences affecting the financial sector, availability of credit, fluctuations in asset values, unstable interest rates, increased competition, continuing consolidations and development of new products and structures. Furthermore, increased government involvement in financial institutions, including measures such as taking ownership positions in such institutions, could result in a dilution in the value of the shares held by shareholders in such institutions.

Risk of Investing in BDCs. The KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio's investments in business development companies ("BDCs") involve risks. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), imposes certain restraints upon the operations of a BDC. Generally, little public information exists for private and thinly traded companies and there is a risk that investors may not be able to make a fully informed investment decision. With investments in debt instruments, there is a risk that the issuer may default on its payments or declare bankruptcy. The limitations on a BDC's asset mix and leverage may prohibit the way that the BDC raises capital. BDCs generally invest in less mature private companies which involve greater risk than well-established publicly-traded companies. To the extent that the Fund invests a portion of its assets in BDCs, a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly the expenses of the BDCs.

Foreign Institutions Risk. For KBW International Financial Portfolio, foreign companies, in general, are not subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies and, as such, there may be less publicly available information about these companies. Moreover, foreign companies are often subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record-keeping than are U.S. companies, and therefore, not all material information regarding these companies will be available.

Property and Casualty Insurance Industry Risk. The KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio's investments in securities of property and casualty insurance companies involve risks. Property and casualty insurance companies can be significantly affected by many factors, including changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, the imposition of premium rate caps, competition and pressure to compete globally, including price and marketing competition, and other changes in government regulation or tax law. In addition, different segments of the insurance industry can be significantly affected by mortality and morbidity rates, environmental clean-up costs and catastrophic events such as natural disasters and terrorist acts.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to Federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.


18



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies in which KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio invests and other extraordinary expenses.

Expenses included for KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio, in the accompanying financial statements, reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of the investment companies' expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain/loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly for the KBW International Financial Portfolio and KBW Property & Casualty Insurance, and monthly for the KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio and records on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund's financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds' investments, managing the Funds' business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies in which KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio invests and other extraordinary expenses. Each Fund (except for the KBW International Financial Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The KBW International Financial Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for each Fund with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (the "Licensor"). Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use with the Funds. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of these Funds. The Trust has entered into a sub-licensing agreement under which each Fund may track its respective Index.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Investments in Affiliates

The Fund's Adviser is a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. and therefore, Invesco Mortgage Capital, Inc. is considered to be affiliated with the Fund. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from the investment in Invesco Mortgage Capital, Inc. for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as 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, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. With respect to each Fund, during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 6. Federal Income Tax

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal period-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code rules and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Funds compensate each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a "Participating Trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation ("Deferral Fees"). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or


22



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Trust only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of each Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement for the New KBW Funds

At a meeting held on September 23, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the "Trust"), including the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") and the Trust for the PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio, PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio, PowerShares KBW International Financial Portfolio and PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio (each, a "New Fund" and collectively, the "New Funds").

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the costs of services to be provided and estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each New Fund grows, (iv) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (v) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vi) any benefits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationships with the New Funds. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for each New Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for each New Fund, information describing the Adviser's current organization and staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the New Funds, and considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). The Trustees also reviewed information related to the Adviser's portfolio transaction policies and procedures, as well as reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the New Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for the New Funds.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser to each New Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each New Fund's proposed advisory fee, as compared to the expense ratios of various comparable ETFs for each New Fund, as well as the average and median expense ratios of each New Fund's respective Lipper peer group, which includes ETF and non-ETF funds. The Trustees noted the information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios and advisory fees of various types of ETFs and open-end actively managed funds that they had received in connection with the 2010 contract renewal process for other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee to be charged to each New Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of the New Fund except brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted that each New


24



Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement for the New KBW Funds (Continued)

Fund's unitary advisory fee generally was lower than or within an acceptable range of the expense ratios of the ETFs in its ETF universe, and was lower than the average and median expense ratios of each New Fund's Lipper peer group. The Trustees considered each New Fund's proposed advisory fee in light of the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs. The Trustees also noted that each New Fund's licensing fee was payable out of the unitary fee to be charged to the New Fund. The Trustees also noted the Adviser's representation that each New Fund's advisory fee was competitive with those of its ETF peers. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to each New Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the costs of services for the New Funds and the fees to be paid by the Adviser. The Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser. The Trustees noted the Adviser's statement that its costs of managing those ETFs generally exceed the amount payable as management fees under the investment advisory agreement for those funds. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser with respect to the New Funds appeared to be reasonable in comparison with the cost of providing investment advisory services to the New Funds.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each New Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the New Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the New Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each New Fund is reasonable in relation to the projected asset size of the New Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationships with the New Funds, and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for each New Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month (or shorter) period ended April 30, 2011.

In pursuing its investment objective, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the "Portfolio") may invest a portion of its assets in investment companies. The Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The effects of the investment companies' expenses are included in the Portfolio's total return.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period March 3, 2011 (Fund Inception) to April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 59 and then dividing the result by 365. Hypothetical expenses are calculated by multiplying the fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a)  Senior secured corporate loans and senior secured debt securities are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Senior secured corporate loans and senior secured debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at a margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designed U.S. bank.

(b)  Senior secured floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the senior secured floating rate interests will have a expected average life of three to five years.

(c)  All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. See Note 7.

(d)  This floating rate interest will settle after April 30, 2011, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

(e)  Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at April 30, 2011 was $3,689,688, which represented 3.00% of the Fund's Net Assets.

(f)  Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on April 30, 2011.

(g)  Security is considered a cash equivalent for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 2C.

*  Non-income producing security.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As of April 30, 2011, the Trust offered forty-five portfolios. This report includes the following portfolio:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio   Senior Loan Portfolio  

 

The portfolio (the "Fund") represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Fund are referred to herein as "Shares" or "Fund's Shares." The Fund's Shares are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc.

The Fund's market price may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund's Shares. Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a "Creation Unit." Creation Units are issued and redeemed generally for cash only. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield of the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index (the "Underlying Index").

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

Securities, including restricted securities, are generally valued according to the following policies. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Listed options, if no closing price is available, are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which


15



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable with one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depository receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and


16



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Risk of Investing in Loans. Investments in loans are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a loan resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the borrower of a loan will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its obligation. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result in a reduction in the value of the loan and consequently a reduction in the value of the Fund's investments and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the collateral for a loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the Fund's access to the collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency loans and, therefore, the Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a loan.

There is no organized exchange on which loans are traded and reliable market quotations may not be readily available. Therefore, the Fund may not realize full value in the event of the need to sell a loan. Some loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate the loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to lenders, including the Fund, such as invalidation of loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the borrower. Investments in loans are also subject to the risk of changes in legislation or state or federal regulations, which may adversely affect the availability of loans for investment. Generally there is less readily available, reliable information about most loans than is the case for many other types of securities. From time to time, one or more of the factors described above may create volatility in the markets for debt instruments and decrease the liquidity of the loan market.

Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Non-investment grade loans and bonds, and unrated loans and bonds of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of a borrower's or issuer's inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of the non-investment grade securities markets generally, real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions and less secondary market liquidity. If the borrower of lower-rated loans or issuer of lower-rated bonds defaults, the Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery.

Reinvestment Risk. Proceeds from a current investment of the Fund, both interest payments and principal payments, may be reinvested in instruments that offer lower yields than the current investment due in part to market conditions and the interest rate environment at the time of reinvestment. Reinvestment risk is greater on short to intermediate-term loans.

Risks of Loan Assignments and Participations. As the purchaser of an assignment, the Fund typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the Fund may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the loan and with regard to any associated collateral. Because assignments may be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by the Fund as the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be


17



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. In addition, if the loan is foreclosed, the Fund could become part owner of any collateral and could bear the costs and liabilities of owning and disposing of the collateral. The Fund may be required to pass along to a purchaser that buys a loan from the Fund by way of assignment a portion of any fees to which the Fund is entitled under the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.

Risks of Investing in Closed-End Funds. The shares of closed-end funds may trade at a discount or premium to, or at, their NAV. To the extent that the Fund invests a portion of its assets in closed-end funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the closed-end fund's portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly, the expenses of the closed-end fund. The securities of closed-end funds in which the Fund may invest may be leveraged. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to leverage through an investment in such securities.

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), the Fund currently effects creations and redemptions principally for cash and partially inkind, rather than primarily in-kind, because of the nature of the Fund's investments. As such, investments in the Fund's Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Non-Correlation and Sampling Risks. The Fund's return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund's portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints. The Fund's use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in net asset values than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

C. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received.


18



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

D. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis

The Fund may purchase and sell interests in Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

E. Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Fund files tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

G. Expenses

The Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the payments to the Sub-Adviser, set-up fees and commitment fees associated with the line of credit and the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including interest expenses associated with the line of credit), litigation expenses, expenses of the underlying funds that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies and other extraordinary expenses.

Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of the investment


19



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

companies' expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain/loss on the investments in the investment companies.

H. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records on ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the Fund's financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

I. Equalization

The Fund uses the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Fund's investment adviser for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Fund's investments, managing the Fund's business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. As compensation for its services, the Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed to waive 0.10% of its unitary management fee until April 20, 2012. The Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Fund, including payments to the Sub-Adviser, set-up fees and commitment fees associated with the line of credit and the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including interest expenses associated with the line of credit), litigation expenses, expenses of the underlying funds that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies and other extraordinary expenses.

The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Invesco Senior Secured Management Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), the primary sub-adviser to the Fund. The sub-advisory fee is paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser at the annual rate of 40% of compensation paid to the Adviser.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for the Fund with Standard & Poor's (the "Licensor"). The Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. This trademark has been licensed to the Adviser for use with the Fund. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor


20



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund. The Trust has entered into a sub-licensing agreement under which the Fund may track its respective Index.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for the Fund.

Note 4. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as 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, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of April 30, 2011. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

During the period ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 5. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.

Note 6. Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities purchased and sold by the Fund during the period ended April 30, 2011 was $202,453,611 and $85,644,481, respectively.

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Funds compensate each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a "Participating Trustee") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation ("Deferral Fees"). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Trust only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 100,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. Unlike most exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), the Fund currently effects creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than primarily in-kind because of the nature of the Fund's investments. As such, investments in Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

The Fund charges fixed and variable transaction fees for creations and redemptions which are treated as increases in capital.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on January 18, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the "Trust"), including the Independent Trustees, approved for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the "Fund") the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers (each, a "Sub-Adviser" and collectively, the "Sub-Advisers"): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Ltd.; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. ("ISSM"); and Invesco Trimark Ltd.

The Trustees considered that the Sub-Advisers serve as sub-advisers for other exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") managed by the Adviser, and that as part of their annual contract renewal process, they had renewed the investment sub-advisory agreement for those funds following a multi-month review process that concluded at their April 2010 meeting. The Trustees also considered that the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer had represented that the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisers, and particularly with respect to ISSM, whose portfolio managers would be primarily responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, in connection with that contract renewal meeting had not changed materially.

In approving the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the cost of services to be provided, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, (iv) whether the fee level reflects any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (v) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vi) any benefits to be realized by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for the Fund, information describing the Adviser's current organization and staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other ETFs. The Trustees also reviewed reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund's administrator, custodian, transfer agent and the Sub-Advisers. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Adviser is responsible for overseeing the Fund's operations and management, including trade execution.

The Board considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisory Agreement will provide flexibility to access a broad talent base of portfolio managers and facilitate Invesco's global trading desk strategy. The Board reviewed the

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Continued)

qualifications and background of ISSM's portfolio managers and noted the qualifications and background of the other Sub-Advisers and the resources made available to the Sub-Advisers' personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature and extent of services to be provided under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the proposed advisory fee and on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted the Adviser's statement that the Fund would be the first ETF investing in bank loans and the comparison of the proposed advisory fee to the expense ratios of a comparable peer group of funds investing in bank loans or other leveraged or floating-rate loans. The Trustees noted the information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios and advisory fees of various types of ETFs and open-end funds, including index funds, that they had received in connection with the 2010 contract renewal process for other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee to be charged to the Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of the Fund, including the set-up and commitment fees associated with the Fund's line of credit, except brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, interest, including interest on the line of credit, and extraordinary expenses. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.10% of the unitary management fee until April 20, 2012. The Trustees noted that the Fund's unitary advisory fee was within an acceptable range of the expense ratios of the comparable peer group funds. The Trustees considered the proposed advisory fee in light of the distinguishing factors of the Fund and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the Fund's licensing fee, the sub-advisory fee and interest payable for use of the line of credit are payable out of the unitary fee to be charged to the Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to the Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the costs of services for the Fund and fees to be paid by the Adviser. The Trustees considered information previously provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser. The Trustees noted the Adviser's statement that its costs of managing those ETFs generally exceed the amount payable as management fees under the investment advisory agreement for those funds. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profit to be realized by the Adviser with respect to the Fund appeared to be reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing investment advisory services to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee to be paid to each Sub-Adviser is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco's affiliates provide sub-advisory services to other Invesco affiliates and reasonable in comparison to fees charged to other clients. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fee relates to the overall advisory fees for the Fund and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers did not provide an estimate of their profitability in connection with the management of the Fund, but that ISSM anticipates the Fund will be operated at a loss for the first 6 to 12 months of operation. The Board concluded that the estimated profit to be realized by ISSM appeared to be reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing sub-advisory services to the Fund.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Continued)

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Fund. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable in relation to the projected asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory and sub-advisory fees were reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they will derive from their relationship with the Fund, and that there were no soft dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.
