How did the Fund perform last year?

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, the Fund returned 5.09%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Total Return Index, which returned 6.08% for the same period.

What Factors Influenced Performance

The underperformance was largely due to the Fund’s longer duration versus the benchmark. During the period we saw interest rates past the 10 year increase. Short duration and prepaying agency securities performed well during the period. Longer duration played against the Fund due to the increase in long term rates.

Top Contributors to Performance:

• FNMA 5038 06/01/2053 5.00%

• FNMA 5165 10/01/2053 5.50%

• FR SD2700 04/01/2053 5.00%

Top Detractors from Performance:

• US Treasury 2/15/2048 3.00%

• Goldman Sachs GP 08/16/2034 5.00%

• Phillips 66 Co. 03/15/2035 4.950%

We expect the Fund to continue to have a higher yield than its benchmark due to its corporate and agency security allocations. Due to longer duration, we expect FFIU to outperform in the future as interest rates decline.

The ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in fixed income securities of any kind with dollar-weighted average effective duration between three and nine years, under normal circumstances. Under normal market conditions, the ETF intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in such securities. Fixed income securities include bonds, debt securities, and income-producing instruments of any kind issued by governmental or private-sector entities.

 

The Trust will issue and redeem shares at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) only in a large specified number of shares called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 shares. Creation Unit transactions are typically conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of in-kind securities and/or cash. As a practical matter, only authorized participants may purchase or redeem these Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the ETF. The prices at which creations and redemptions occur are based on the next calculation of NAV after an order is received in proper form by Capital Investment Group, Inc. (the “Distributor”). Individual shares of the ETF may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the ETF are listed for trading on NYSE Arca under the trading symbol FFIU, and because shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the ETF may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the ETF. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The ETF follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

 

The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored for the oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Investment Valuation

An ETF’s debt securities are valued at market value. Market value generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), or (iii) based on amortized cost. An ETF’s debt securities are thus valued by reference to a combination of transactions and quotations for the same or other securities believed to be comparable in quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, call provisions, trading characteristics and other features deemed to be relevant. To the extent an ETF’s debt securities are valued based on price quotations or other equivalent indications of value provided by a third-party pricing service, any such third-party pricing service may use a variety of methodologies to value some or all of an ETF’s debt securities to determine the market price. For example, the prices of securities with characteristics similar to those held by an ETF may be used to assist with the pricing process. In addition, the pricing service may use proprietary pricing models. Equity securities are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Equity securities that are traded in over-the-counter markets are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca on the day the securities are valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations (or other market valuations such as those obtained from a pricing service) are not readily available, including restricted securities, are valued by a method that the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) believe accurately reflects fair value. Securities will be valued at fair value when market quotations (or other market valuations such as those obtained from a pricing service) are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, such as when a security’s value or meaningful portion of an ETF’s portfolio is believed to have been materially affected by a significant event. Such events may include a natural disaster, an economic event like a bankruptcy filing, a trading halt in a security, an unscheduled early market close or a substantial fluctuation in domestic and foreign markets that has occurred between the close of the principal exchange and the NYSE Arca. In such a case, the value for a security is likely to be different from the last quoted market price. In addition, due to the subjective and variable nature of fair market value pricing, it is possible that the value determined for a particular asset may be materially different from the value realized upon such asset’s sale.

 

Trading in securities on many foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of business on each U.S. business day. In addition, securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on all U.S. business days or may take place on days that are not U.S. business days. Changes in valuations on certain securities may occur at times or on days on which an ETF’s net asset value is not calculated and on which an ETF’s does not effect sales, redemptions and exchanges of its Shares.

Fair Value Measurement

The ETF has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the ETF’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities assets or liabilities that the ETF has the ability to access.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, credit spreads, yield curves, and market-collaborated input.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that observable inputs are not available, representing the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date; they would be based on the best information available, which may include the ETF’s own data.

 

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

 

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

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs as of June 30, 2025, for the ETF’s assets measured at fair value:

 

    Total     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3(a)  
Assets                        
Corporate Bonds   $ 23,405,168     $     $ 22,965,756     $ 439,412  
Municipal Bonds     5,058,205             5,058,205        
United States Treasury Notes     4,460,523             4,460,523        
Federal Agency     12,421,676             12,421,676        
Closed-End Funds     1,057,009       1,057,009              
Short-Term Investment     3,393,235       3,393,235              
Total Assets   $ 49,795,816     $ 4,450,244     $ 44,906,160     $ 439,412  
(a) For the year ended June 30, 2025, these investments were valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of all Level 3 fair value measurements existing at June 30, 2025:

 

    Value  
Opening Balance   $ 385,720  
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Level 3 Instruments     53,692  
Ending Balance   $ 439,412  

 

The Fund has adopted a policy of recording any transfers of investment securities between the different levels in the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the fiscal year unless circumstances dictate otherwise.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income and expenses are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for Federal income tax purposes.

 

Expenses

The ETF bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf as well as a portion of general expenses, which are allocated according to methods reviewed annually by the Trustees.

 

Distributions

The ETF may declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. The ETF generally declares and distributes capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date.

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Federal Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the ETF intends to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

 

2. Risk Considerations

Call/Prepayment Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond may exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation earlier than expected. This may result in the ETF reinvesting proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the ETF’s income.

 

Interest Rate Risk. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities held by the ETF are likely to decrease. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Interest rates in the United States are near historic lows, which may increase the ETF’s exposure to risks associated with rising rates. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy (including the Federal Reserve ending its “quantitative easing” policy of purchasing large quantities of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government), rising inflation, and changes in general economic conditions. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable. Moreover, rising interest rates may lead to decreased liquidity in the bond markets, making it more difficult for the ETF to value or sell some or all of its bond investments at any given time.

 

Changes in interest rates may also affect the ETF’s share price; for example, a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the ETF’s share price to fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is an estimate of a security’s sensitivity to changes in prevailing interest rates that is based on certain factors that may prove to be incorrect. It is therefore not an exact measurement and may not be able to reliably predict a particular security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

Fixed Income Risk. When the ETF invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the ETF will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the ETF. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the ETF later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the ETF, possibly causing the ETF’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Authorized Participant Risk. Only an authorized participant (“Authorized Participant” or “AP”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the ETF. The ETF has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for exchange-traded funds, such as the ETF, that invest in securities issued by non-U.S. issuers or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

 

ETF Structure Risks. The ETF is subject to the special risks, including:

 

Not Individually Redeemable. Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the ETF at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” You may incur brokerage costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit.

 

Trading Issues. An active trading market for the ETF’s shares may not be developed or maintained. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange. If the ETF’s shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as authorized participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the ETF’s shares.

 

Cash Purchases and Redemptions. To the extent Creation Units are purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants in cash instead of in-kind, the ETF will incur certain costs such as brokerage expenses and taxable gains and losses. These costs could be imposed on the ETF and impact the ETF’s NAV if not fully offset by transaction fees paid by the Authorized Participants.

 

Market Price Variance Risk. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV.

 

In times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market making in shares of exchange-traded funds and in executing trades, which can lead to differences between the market value of ETF shares and the ETF’s net asset value.

 

To the extent Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creations or redemptions and no other Authorized Participant can step in to do so, there may be a significantly reduced trading market in the ETF’s shares, which can lead to differences between the market value of ETF shares and the ETF’s net asset value.

 

The market price for the ETF’s shares may deviate from the ETF’s net asset value, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less for ETF shares than the ETF’s net asset value, which is reflected in the bid and ask price for ETF shares or in the closing price.

 

When all or a portion of an exchange-traded fund’s underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market for the ETF’s shares is open, there may be changes from the last quote of the closed market and the quote from the ETF’s domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between the market value of the ETF’s shares and the ETF’s net asset value.

 

In stressed market conditions, the market for the ETF’s shares may become less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the ETF’s portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the ETF’s shares may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the ETF’s shares and the ETF’s net asset value.

 

Management Risk. The ETF is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. In managing the ETF’s portfolio securities, the Sub-Advisor will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the ETF, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results. The Sub-Advisor’s decisions relating to the ETF’s duration will also affect the ETF’s yield, and in unusual circumstances will affect its share price. To the extent that the Sub-Advisor anticipates interest rates imprecisely, the ETF’s yield at times could lag those of other similarly managed funds.

Preferred Securities Risk. Investing in preferred stock involves the following risks: (i) certain preferred stocks contain provisions that allow an issuer under certain conditions to skip or defer distributions; (ii) preferred stocks may be subject to redemption, including at the issuer’s call, and, in the event of redemption, the ETF may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable or favorable rates of return; (iii) preferred stocks are generally subordinated to bonds and other debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure in terms of priority for corporate income and liquidation payments; and (iv) preferred stocks may trade less frequently and in a more limited volume and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than many other securities.

 

Credit/Default Risk. Credit risk is the risk that issuers or guarantors of debt instruments or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement, or loan of portfolio securities is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic, social or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or other instrument or an issuer, and changes in economic, social, or political conditions generally can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or other instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. Securities issued by the U.S. government have limited credit risk. Credit rating downgrades and defaults (failure to make interest or principal payment) may potentially reduce the ETF’s income and Share price.

 

Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers are subject to risks not usually associated with owning securities of U.S. issuers. There is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations or currency exchange rates, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of cash or other assets of the ETF from foreign markets, political or financial instability, or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Further, economies of particular countries or areas of the world may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the United States. Foreign securities often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and therefore may exhibit greater price volatility. Investments in foreign markets also involve currency risk, which is the risk that the values of the ETF’s investments denominated in foreign currencies will decrease due to adverse changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of foreign currencies.

 

Investment Risk. Various sectors of the global financial markets have been experiencing an extended period of adverse conditions. Market uncertainty has increased dramatically, particularly in the United States and Europe, and adverse market conditions have expanded to other markets. These conditions have resulted in disruption of markets, periods of reduced liquidity, greater volatility, general volatility of spreads, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and a lack of price transparency. The long-term impact of these events is uncertain but could continue to have a material effect on general economic conditions, consumer and business confidence, and market liquidity.

 

Major public health issues, such as COVID-19, have at times, and may in the future impact the Fund. The COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial market volatility and global business disruption and impacted the global economy in significant and unforeseen ways. Any public health emergency, including the COVID-19 pandemic or any outbreak of other existing or new epidemic diseases or the threat thereof, and the resulting financial and economic market uncertainty, could have a material adverse impact on the Fund or its investments. Moreover, changes in interest rates, travel advisories, quarantines and restrictions, disrupted supply chains and industries, impact on labor markets, reduced liquidity or a slowdown in U.S. or global economic conditions resulting from a future public health crisis may also adversely affect the Fund or its investments. COVID-19, or any other health crisis and the current or any resulting financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to the Fund’s NAV, performance, financial condition, results of operations, ability to pay distributions, make share repurchases and portfolio liquidity, among other factors.

 

Economic problems in a single country are increasingly affecting other markets and economies, and a continuation of this trend could adversely affect global economic conditions and world markets. Uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets and political systems of the U.S. or any other country, including volatility as a result of the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas and the rapidly evolving measures in response, may have adverse spill-over effects into the global financial markets generally.

 

Early Close/Trading Halt Risk. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may prevent the ETF from buying or selling certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the ETF may be unable to rebalance its portfolio and may be unable to accurately price its investments.

As of June 30, 2025

 

Cybersecurity Risk. As part of its business, the Advisor processes, stores, and transmits large amounts of electronic information, including information relating to the transactions of the ETF. The Advisor and the ETF are therefore susceptible to cybersecurity risk. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the ETF or its service providers have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of ETF shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, and/or reputational damage. The ETF and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

 

Inflation-Indexed Bond Risk. Inflation-indexed bonds may change in value in response to actual or anticipated changes in inflation rates in a manner unanticipated by the ETF’s portfolio management team or investors generally. Inflation-indexed bonds are subject to debt securities risks.

 

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. In addition to other risks commonly associated with investing in debt securities, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are subject to “prepayment risk” and “extension risk.” Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, certain types of obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the ETF may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. MBS are priced with an expectation of some anticipated level of prepayment of principal. Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated causing the value of these securities to fall. MBS are also subject to the risk of default on the underlying mortgages, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and mortgage- related securities may adversely affect the liquidity and market value of MBS. The risks associated with investing in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are similar to those associated with investing in MBS. ABS also entail certain risks not presented by MBS, including the risk that in certain states it may be difficult to perfect the liens securing the collateral backing certain ABS. In addition, certain ABS are based on loans that are unsecured, which means that there is no collateral to seize if the underlying borrower defaults.

 

U.S. Government Securities Risk. Debt securities issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. Government agencies, instrumentalities, and sponsored enterprises are not supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, so investments in their securities or obligations issued by them involve credit risk greater than investments in other types of U.S. Government securities.

 

3. Transactions with Related Parties and Service Providers

Advisor

The ETF pays a monthly fee to OBP Capital, LLC (the “Advisor”) calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the ETF’s average daily net assets.

 

The Advisor has engaged Universal Value Advisors as the sub-advisor of the ETF (the “Sub-Advisor”) to provide day to day portfolio management of the ETF. The Advisor pays a monthly fee to the Sub-Advisor calculated at the annual rate of 0.20% of the ETF’s average daily net assets. The Sub-Advisor is paid directly by the Advisor out of the advisory fees disclosed above.

 

The ETF and the Sub-Advisor have entered into a contractual agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Trust, on behalf of the ETF, under which the Sub-Advisor has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of the ETF, if necessary, in amounts that limit the ETF’s total operating expenses (exclusive of (i) any front-end or contingent deferred loads; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses; (iv) fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); (v) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); (vi) taxes; and (vii) extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of ETF officers and Trustees and contractual indemnification of ETF service providers (other than the Advisor or Sub-Advisor)) to not more than 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the ETF. The current term of the Expense Limitation Agreement is through October 31, 2025, and may be terminated by the Board of Trustees at any time. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years (within the three years from the date the fees had been waived or reimbursed), if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limit or those in place at the time of recoupment.

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Advisor earned $23,287 in net advisory fees after payment of the sub-advisor fee.

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Sub-Advisor earned $93,146 in sub-advisory fees, of which all was waived pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement. Effective November 1, 2024, any fee waiver and expense reimbursement is subject to possible recoupment within 36 months of the waiver or reimbursement. As of June 30, 2025, $86,444 is subject to possible recoupment.

The Nottingham Company, Inc. is entitled to receive customary fees from the ETF for its services pursuant to the Compliance Services Agreement with the ETF.

 

Transfer Agent

Nottingham Shareholder Services (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent for the ETF. For its services, the Transfer Agent is entitled to receive compensation from the ETF pursuant to the Transfer Agent’s fee arrangements with the ETF. Broadridge Solutions, Inc. also serves as the Sub-Transfer Agent.

 

Fund Accounting

The Nottingham Company (the “Fund Accountant”) serves as the Fund Accountant for the ETF. For its services, the Fund Accountant is entitled to receive compensation from the ETF pursuant to the Fund Accounting fee arrangements with the ETF.

 

Distributor

Capital Investment Group, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the ETF’s principal underwriter and distributor. For its services, the Distributor is entitled to receive compensation from the ETF pursuant to the ETF’s fee arrangements with the Distributor.

 

4. Trustees and Officers

The Board is responsible for the management and supervision of the ETF. The Trustees approve all significant agreements between the Trust, on behalf of the ETF, and those companies that furnish services to the ETF; review performance of the Advisor and the ETF; and oversee activities of the ETF. Officers of the Trust and Trustees who are interested persons of the Trust or the Advisor will receive no salary or fees from the Trust. Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or the Advisor within the meaning of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”) receive a flat rate of $7,500 plus an additional $2,500 per Fund each year but may receive up to an additional $1,500 per special meeting in the event that special meetings are held. This amount may be paid pro rata in the event that the Fund closes during the year. The Trust reimburses each Trustee and officers of the Trust for his or her travel and other expenses relating to attendance at such meetings. Prior to January 1, 2025, the Independent Trustees received $5,000 per year payable quarterly and $2,000 per series in the Trust.

 

Certain officers of the Trust may also be officers of the Advisor or the Administrator.

 

5. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

 

Purchases of Non-U.S. Government Securities     Proceeds from Sales of Non-U.S. Government Securities     Purchases of U.S. Government Securities     Proceeds from Sales of U.S. Government Securities     In-Kind Purchases     In-Kind Sales  
$ 2,502,970     $ 2,891,275     $ 7,401,833     $ 2,451,022              

 

6. Federal Income Tax

Distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP, and, therefore, may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. The general ledger is adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but is not adjusted for temporary differences.

 

Management has reviewed the ETF’s tax positions to be taken on the federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 through June 30, 2025 and determined that the ETF does not have a liability for uncertain tax positions. The ETF recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the ETF did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Distributions during the years ended were characterized for tax purposes as follows:

 

    June 30, 2025     June 30, 2024  
Ordinary Income   $ 1,837,500     $ 1,865,750  
Total Distributions   $ 1,837,500     $ 1,865,750  

 

Reclassifications relate primarily to differing book/tax treatment of ordinary net investment losses and taxable overdistributions and have no impact on the net assets of the ETF.

Capital Loss Carryforwards

Accumulated capital losses noted above represent net capital loss carryovers as of June 30, 2025, that are available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. The capital loss carryforwards have no expiration date.

 

7. Concentration of Risk

At various times, the ETF may have cash, cash collateral, and due from broker balances that exceed federally insured limits. The ETF may have cash and cash equivalents on deposit with the custodians, which, at times, may exceed federally insured (“FDIC”) limits.

 

8. Commitments and Contingencies

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 ETF. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its service providers, on behalf of the ETF, and others that provide for general indemnifications. The ETF’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the ETF. The ETF expects risk of loss to be remote.

 

9. Subsequent Events

In accordance with GAAP, management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees Spinnaker ETF Series
and the Shareholders of UVA Unconstrained Medium Term Fixed Income ETF

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of UVA Unconstrained Medium Term Fixed Income ETF (the “Fund”), a series of Spinnaker ETF Series, including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2023, have been audited by other auditors, whose reports dated August 28, 2023 and August 29, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2024.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
