The Fund is the successor to the Arin Large Cap Theta Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of the Starboard Investment Trust, which had the same investment objective as the Fund.

Predecessor Fund were $126,488,085, including $2,569,806 of net unrealized appreciation of investments, all of which were transferred into the Fund at the closing of the reorganization. The transfer of net assets resulted in the creation of 13,152,191 shares of the Fund and an initial NAV per share of $9.62 at the closing of the reorganization.

The primary purpose of the reorganization into the Trust was to provide shareholders the continued benefit of a stable and highly regulated investment vehicle in addition to the benefits of tax efficiency.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares. Fees and expenses incurred to affect the reorganizations were borne by the Sub-Advisor. The reorganization did not result in a material change to the Predecessor Fund’s investment portfolios as compared to that of the Fund. There are no material differences in accounting policies of the Predecessor Fund as compared to that of the Fund.

The Fund did not purchase or sell securities following the reorganization for purposes of realigning its investment portfolio. Accordingly, the acquisition of the Predecessor Fund did not affect the Fund’s portfolio turnover ratio for the year ended September 30, 2023.

On March 22, 2023, shares of the Alpha Architect Tail Risk ETF were adjusted to reflect a reverse stock split. The effect of the reverse stock split was to decrease the number of shares outstanding and increase the net asset value. The reverse stock split has no impact on the net assets of the Fund or the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. A summary of the reverse stock split is as follows:

Effective December 15, 2023, Alpha Architect 1-3 Month BOX ETF’s fiscal year changed to September 30th.

Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in share amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee to compensate the Trust or its custodian for costs incurred in connection with creation and redemption transactions. The standard transaction fee, which is payable to the Trust’s custodian, typically applies to in-kind purchases of a Fund effected through the clearing process on any business day, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed that day (“Standard Transaction Fees”). Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the transaction costs associated with the cash transactions fees. Certain fund deposits consisting of cash-in-lieu or cash value may be subject to a variable charge (“Variable Transaction Fees”), which is payable to the Funds, of up to 2.00% of the value of the order in addition to the Standard Transaction Fee. Variable Transaction Fees received by each Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Because, among other things, the Funds impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by a Fund in effecting trades, the Board determined that it is not necessary to adopt policies and procedures to detect and deter market timing of the Funds’ Shares.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.Security Valuation. Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market® (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

(“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or NASDAQ security does not trade, then the most recent quoted bid for exchange-traded or the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price for NASDAQ securities will be used. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are generally valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Fair values for long-term debt securities, including asset-backed securities (“ABS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), corporate obligations, whole loans, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs, including but not limited to, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and pricing models such as yield measurers calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. In addition to these inputs, MBS and ABS may utilize cash flows, prepayment information, default rates, delinquency and loss assumptions, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and specific deal information. Reverse repurchase agreements are priced at their acquisition cost, and assessed for credit adjustments, which represents fair value. Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price.

Exchange-traded options (other than FLEX Options) are valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices at 4:00 p.m. eastern time as provided by a third-party pricing service from the primary exchange or the board of trade on which such options are traded. Exchange-traded options will be valued on the basis of prices provided by pricing services when such prices are reasonably believed to reflect the market value of such options and may include the use of composite or National Best Bid and Offer (“NBBO”) pricing information provided by the pricing services.

FLEX Options will typically be valued at a model-based price provided by the exchange at the official close of that exchange’s trading day. However, when a FLEX Option has a same-day market trading price at the official close of that exchange’s trading day, this same-day market trading price will be used for the FLEX Option value instead of the exchange’s model-based price.

Any options which share all the same contractual terms or are only different due to a de minimis difference in such options strike price shall share the same valuation (a “Substantially Similar Option”). A de minimis difference shall mean a difference in the strike price of Substantially Similar Options which is $0.01 or less. When two or more Substantially Similar Options are determined to share the same valuation pursuant to this paragraph the value determined for the Substantially Similar Option which is a FLEX Option shall be used to value each such Substantially Similar Option. Any in the money Substantially Similar Options shall share the same value except they may be adjusted by up to $0.01 to reflect the difference of the amount of moneyness of each Substantially Similar Option.

No option prices adjusted per the policies above shall fall outside the last quoted bid and ask prices at 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any expired cash settled option shall be valued at its intrinsic value.

An option may be fair valued when: (i) the option does not trade on the valuation date and a reliable last quoted bid and ask price at the valuation time is not readily available or (ii) the Fund’s Adviser, Discretionary Sub-Adviser (if applicable), or Fund management does not believe the prices provided by the pricing services or exchange reflect the current market value of such option.

Subject to its oversight, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the Fund’s investments to Empowered Funds, LLC d/b/a EA Advisers (the “Adviser”), pursuant to the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures, which have been adopted by the Trust and approved by the Board. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” of the Fund. If the Adviser, as valuation designee, determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available for an investment, the investment is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy and procedures. The Adviser will provide the Board with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable, and that identify issues and valuation problems that have arisen, if any. As appropriate, the Adviser and the Board will review any securities valued by the Adviser in accordance with the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

Trust’s valuation policies during these periodic reports. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of March 31, 2024, the Funds did not hold any securities valued by an investment committee.

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

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

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

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

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

The following is a summary of the fair value classification of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2024:

During the fiscal period ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not invest in any Level 3 investments and recognized no transfers to/from Level 3. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

B.Options Contracts. In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly known as the “strike price”). Alpha Architect Tail Risk ETF’s portfolio includes several types of FLEX Options, including both purchased and written put and call options (as further described below). The FLEX Options are all European style options, which means that they are exercisable at the strike price only on the FLEX Option expiration date. FLEX Options are customized option contracts available through national securities exchanges that are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”), a market clearinghouse. FLEX Options provide investors with the ability to customize terms of an option, including exercise prices, exercise styles (European style versus American style options which are exercisable any time prior to the expiration date) and expiration dates, while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of the over-the-counter option positions.

Each FLEX Option contract entitles the holder thereof (i.e., the purchaser of the FLEX Option) the option to purchase (for the call options) or sell (for the put options) the cash value of the reference asset as of the close of the market on the FLEX Option expiration date at the strike price. The Fund intends to be structured so that any amount owed by the Fund on the written FLEX Options will be covered by payouts at expiration from the purchased FLEX Options. As a result, the FLEX Options will be fully covered, and no additional collateral will be necessary during the life of the Fund. The Fund receives premiums in exchange for the written FLEX Options and pays premiums in exchange for the purchased FLEX Options. The OCC and securities exchange that the FLEX Options are listed on do not charge ongoing fees to writers or purchasers of the FLEX Options during their life for continuing to hold the option contracts. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to sell an asset (or deliver the cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) at a certain defined price. Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) at a certain defined price.

When the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds are recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities. When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds are recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds. The Funds, as writers of an option, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

The OCC guarantees performance by each of the counterparties to FLEX Options, becoming the “buyer for every seller and the seller for every buyer,” protecting clearing members and options traders from counterparty risk. Subject to determination by the Securities Committee of the OCC, adjustments may be made to the FLEX Options for certain events (collectively, “Corporate Actions”) specified in the OCC’s by-laws and rules: certain stock dividends or distributions, stock splits, reverse stock splits, rights offerings, distributions, reorganizations, recapitalizations, or reclassifications with respect to an underlying security, or a merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of the issuer of the underlying security. According to the OCC’s by-laws, the nature and extent of any such adjustment is to be determined by the OCC’s Securities Committee, in light of the circumstances known to it at the time such determination is made, based on its judgment as to what is appropriate for the protection of investors and the public interest, taking into account such factors as fairness to holders and writers (or purchasers and sellers) of the affected options, the maintenance of a fair and orderly market in the affected options, consistency of interpretation and practice, efficiency of exercise settlement procedures, and the coordination with other clearing agencies of the clearance and settlement of transactions in the underlying interest.

C.Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts using the spot rate of exchange at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. That portion of gains (losses) attributable to the changes in market prices and the portion of gains (losses) attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included on the “Statement of Operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) – Foreign currency” and “Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) – Foreign Currency,” respectively.

Each Fund reports net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal year-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

D.Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to a Fund. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the fiscal period ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the fiscal period ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. A Fund would/will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Funds’ Statement of Operations. During the fiscal period ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Each Fund is subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the tax periods since each Fund’s commencement of operations.

Each Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized and unrealized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which the Fund invests. The foreign tax expense, if any, was recorded on an accrual basis and is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” and “Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments” on the accompanying Statements of Operations. The amount of foreign tax owed, if any, is included in “Payable for foreign taxes” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is comprised of withholding taxes on foreign dividends and taxes on unrealized gains.

E.Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

Distributions received from a Funds’ investments in REITs and MLPs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or return of capital. The proper characterization of such distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. The actual character of distributions to each Fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of such investments, a portion of the distributions received by each Fund’s shareholders may represent a return of capital.

ALPHA ARCHITECT ETFs

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF and Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF, Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF, Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF, Alpha Architect High Inflation and Deflation ETF and Alpha Architect Tail Risk ETF are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary, for tax purposes.

F.Use of 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 at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G.Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for regular trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share.

H.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Additionally, as is customary, the Trust’s organizational documents permit the Trust to indemnify its officers and trustees against certain liabilities under certain circumstances. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. As of the date of this Report, no claim has been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Funds.

I.Reclassification of Capital Accounts. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. In addition, the Funds realized net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from distributable earnings to paid-in capital. For the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023, the following table shows the reclassifications made:


	Distributable Earnings		Paid-in Capital

pursuant to Rule 12b-1, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expense (including class action-related services) and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses.

The table below represents the annual rate (after fee waivers) based on average daily net assets that each Fund pays the Adviser monthly:


Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF						0.29%
Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF						0.39%
Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF						0.29%
Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF						0.39%

Alpha Architect High Inflation and Deflation ETF						0.29%
Alpha Architect Tail Risk ETF						0.63%

Effective January 31, 2024, the Adviser reduced its management fee for the Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF, Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF, Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF and Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF from an annual rate based on average daily net assets from 0.39% to 0.29%, 0.49% to 0.39%, 0.39% to 0.29%, and 0.49% to 0.39%, respectively.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee for the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF until at least January 31, 2025 to the extent necessary to prevent (i) management fees paid to the investment adviser for the Fund plus (ii) the aggregate amount of management fees paid to the Adviser for management of the Alpha Architect ETFs that are directly attributable to the Fund’s ownership of shares of the Alpha Architect ETFs, from exceeding 0.69% of the Fund’s daily net assets. This waiver agreement may be terminated only by agreement of the investment adviser and the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The fee waived is not subject to recoupment.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive receipt of its management fees and/or assume expenses of the Alpha Architect High Inflation and Deflation ETF to the extent necessary to offset AFFE so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding payments under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if any), brokerage expenses, taxes (including tax-related services), interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expense (including class action-related services) and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement is in effect until November 15, 2025, and it may be terminated before that date only by a majority vote of the “non-interested” trustees. The fee waived is not subject to recoupment.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive receipt of its management fees and/or assume expenses of the Alpha Architect Tail Risk ETF, including AFFE related to the Fund’s investment in the Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding payments under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if any), brokerage expenses, taxes (including tax-related services), interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expense (including class action-related services) and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.63% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Any AFFE associated with Fund investments in any other acquired funds are not included in the fee waiver. This agreement may only be changed or terminated by a vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive receipt of its management fees and/or assume expenses of the Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding payments under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if any), acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, taxes (including tax related services), interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expense (including class action-related services) and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.1949% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. There shall be no recoupment of any waived fees or expenses by the Adviser. This agreement will remain in place until January 31, 2025 and may only be terminated by the Board of Trustees

Arin Risk Advisors, LLC, serves as a discretionary investment sub-adviser to the Alpha Architect Tail Risk ETF and Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF. Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Arin Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser has discretion to purchase and sell securities in accordance with the Funds’ objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Sub-Adviser continuously reviews, supervises, and administers the Funds’ investment program subject to oversight by the Adviser.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, acts as the Funds’ Administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the trustees; monitors the activities of the Funds’ Custodian, transfer agent and fund accountant. Fund Services also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant to the Funds. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as the Funds’ Custodian.

The Custodian acts as the securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Funds.

NOTE 5 – SECURITIES LENDING

Each Fund may lend up to 331/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss on the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

The securities lending agreement provides that, in the event of a borrower’s material default, the Securities Lending Agent shall take all actions the Securities Lending Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Securities Lending Agent’s expense, or pay the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations which are set forth in detail in the securities lending agreement between the Fund and the Securities Lending Agent.

As of the end of the current fiscal period, certain Funds had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested by the Securities Lending Agent in accordance with the Trust-approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agent.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the values of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker for the applicable funds were as follows:


	Value of Securities on Loan		Payable for Collateral Received*		Percentage of Net Assets of Securities On Loan




Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF	$	11,822	$	12,451	0.04%

* The cash collateral received was invested in the First American Money Market Government Obligations Fund as shown on the Schedule of Investments. The investment objective is to seek maximum current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

ALPHA ARCHITECT ETFs

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

The interest income earned by the funds on the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them (“Securities Lending Income, Net”) is reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Net securities lending income earned on collateral investments and recognized by the applicable funds during the current fiscal period was as follows:


Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF	$	33
Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF	2,210
Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF	12

Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF	15,668

Due to the absence of a master netting agreement related to the Funds’ participation in securities lending, no additional offsetting disclosures have been made on behalf of the Funds for the total borrowings listed above.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, management of the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no transactions that occurred during the period subsequent to March 31, 2024, that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of each Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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 entitled “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 of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each of the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 each Fund compared to 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 brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of each Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The expenses for the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect. Also, the information assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (UNAUDITED)

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust, on behalf of the series of the Trust covered by this shareholder report (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”), has adopted a liquidity risk management program (“the Program”) to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program is tailored to reflect each Fund’s particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk, which would be incompatible with the nature of the Fund.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has designated the Chief Operating Officer of the Adviser as the Program Administrator, responsible for administering the Program and its policies and procedures.

At the June 9, 2023, meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Program Administrator provided the Trustees with a report pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the period ended March 31, 2024. The report concluded that the Program appeared effectively tailored to identify potential illiquid scenarios and to enable the Funds to deliver appropriate reporting. In addition, the report concluded that the Program is adequately operating, and its implementation has been effective. The report reflected that there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds’ ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The report further described material changes that were made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding the Funds’ exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”) met in person on September 15, 2023, to consider the approval of Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF, the Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF, the Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF, the Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF, and the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), and Empowered Funds, LLC (the “Adviser”), as well as to consider the approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Alpha Architect, LLC (a “Sub-Adviser”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with considering approval of both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust, who provided assistance and advice. In reaching the decision to approve both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered and reviewed information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including among other things information about its personnel, operations, financial condition, and compliance and risk management. The Board also reviewed copies of the proposed Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. During their review and consideration, the Board focused on and reviewed the factors they deemed relevant, including:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board was presented and considered information concerning the nature, quality and extent of the overall services expected to be provided by the Adviser to the AA Funds. In this connection, the Board considered the responsibilities of the Adviser, recognizing that the Adviser had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the AA Funds, obtaining the necessary exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and arranging service providers for the AA Funds. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for providing investment advisory services to the AA Funds, monitoring compliance with the Funds’ objectives, policies and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board also considered the services expected to be provided by the Adviser in the oversight of the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent and custodian. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of the Adviser’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets and the adequacy of the Adviser’s resources. The Board also considered the Adviser’s incremental workload regarding the application of derivatives for hedging signals as needed.

Performance. The Board considered the relative performance information for the AA Funds. The Board utilized performance reports provided to the Board in anticipation of the meeting, as well as performance reports provided at regular Board meetings for the AA Funds. Peer group performance information was provided in quartiles, ranging from quartile one (the worst performing) to quartile four (the best performing).

For the Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF (“QVAL”), the Board considered QVAL’s performance against its benchmark, the Solactive GBS United States 1000 Index, for the period ended June 30, 2023. It was noted that QVAL performed in line with its benchmark for the one year period ended June 30, 2023 whereby QVAL realized a 18.19% return and the benchmark realized a 18.87% return for the same period The Board also considered QVAL’s performance for other periods and noted that there were periods of outperformance and underperformance.

For the Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF (“IVAL”), the Board considered IVAL’s performance against its benchmark, the Solactive Developed Markets ex North America NTR Index. It was noted that IVAL underperformed its benchmark for the one year period ended June 30, 2023 whereby IVAL realized a 15.92% return and the benchmark realized a 18.53% return for the same period. The Board also considered IVAL’s performance for other periods, which underperformed the benchmark.

For the Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF (“QMOM”), the Board considered QMOM’s performance against its benchmark, the Solactive GBS United States 1000 Index. It was noted that QMOM underperformed its benchmark for the one year period ended June 30, 2023, whereby QMOM realized a 10.68% return and the benchmark realized a 18.87% return for the same period. The Board also considered QMOM’s performance for other periods, which underperformed the benchmark.

For the Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF (“IMOM”), the Board considered IMOM’s performance compared to its benchmark, the Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex North America Large NTR Index. It was noted that IMOM underperformed its benchmark for the one year period ended June 30, 2023, whereby it realized 10.89% return and

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)(CONTINUED)

the benchmark realized a 18.53% return for the same period. The Board also considered IMOM’s performance for other periods, which underperformed the benchmark.

For the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF (“VMOT”), the Board considered VMOT’s performance as compared to its benchmark, 35% Solactive GBS United States 1000 Index, 35% Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex North America Large & Mid Cap Index, 30% Solactive 1-3 Month U.S. T-Bill Index. It was noted that VMOT underperformed its benchmark for the one year period ended June 30, 2023, whereby VMOT realized a return of -2.66% and the benchmark returned 14.57% for the same period. The Board also considered VMOT’s performance for other periods, which also underperformed the benchmark.

Comparative Fees and Expenses. In considering the advisory fees, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the 10 basis point management fee reduction for QVAL, QMOM, IVAL and IMOM to take effect on January 31, 2024. With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratio for each Fund, the Board also considered the fees and expense ratios versus the fees and expenses charged to other exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. The Board noted that there were several comparable funds available for comparison, finding that the fees charged by the Funds are within a reasonable range as compared to the peers. The Board considered, among other information, the data provided in the third-party report. Fee information was provided in quartiles, ranging from quartile one (the least expensive) to quartile four (the most expensive).

The Board considered the third-party peer group analysis that included a comparison of the Funds’ anticipated net expense ratio against funds that were both exchanged-traded funds and mutual funds. The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF’s expense ratios (gross and net fees) were below the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its ETF and mutual fund peers. The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF’s management fee was below the average management fee charged by its ETF and mutual fund peers.

The Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF’s expense ratios (gross and net fees) were above the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its ETF peers but below the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its mutual fund peers. The Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF’s management fee was above the average management fee charged by its ETF peers but below the average management fee charged by its mutual fund peers.

The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF’s expense ratios (gross and net fees) were above the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its ETF peers but below the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its mutual fund peers. The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF’s management fee was above the average management fee charged by its ETF peers but below the average management fee charged by its mutual fund peers.

The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF’s expense ratios (gross and net fees) were above the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its ETF peers but below the average expense ratios (gross and net) of its mutual fund peers. The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF’s management fee was above the average management fee charged by its ETF peers but below the average management fee charged by its mutual fund peers.

Costs and Profitability. The Board further considered information regarding the profits realized by the Adviser in connection with providing services to the AA Funds. The Adviser’s potential level of profitability was discussed, as well as the current levels of compensation paid to the Adviser’s personnel versus the market. A discussion ensued regarding the Adviser’s potential profitability in light of its fixed and variable costs. The Board reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by the Adviser with respect to the AA Funds, and the costs associated with the personnel, systems, and equipment necessary to manage each AA Fund and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies as well as other expenses the Adviser would pay in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. The Board acknowledged the commitments by the Adviser to expand its compliance, operations, and legal staff. It was also noted that the Adviser continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to support the AA Funds and the overall Trust. The Board also took into consideration that the Adviser agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the AA Funds except for the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Agreement, payments under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expenses and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses. With respect to VMOT, the Board also took into consideration the fee waiver agreement whereby the Adviser will waive all or a portion of its management fee for the VMOT until at least January 31,2025 to the extent necessary to prevent (i) management fees paid to the Adviser plus (ii)the aggregate amount of management fees paid

to the Adviser for management of the certain affiliated ETFs that are directly attributable to the Fund’s ownership of shares of such affiliated ETFs, from exceeding 0.69% of the Fund’s daily net assets. The Board further considered the Adviser’s decision to permanently reduce its advisory fees on behalf of QVAL, QMOM, IVAL and IMOM.

Other Benefits. The Board further considered the extent to which the Adviser might derive ancillary benefits from AA Fund operations. For example, the Adviser may engage in soft dollar transactions in the future, although it did not currently plan to do so. In addition, as the Adviser to a 1940 Act-registered investment company, the Adviser and its affiliates reap the intangible benefits of being associated with a mass market product. Furthermore, the increased footprint of the Trust will enable the Adviser to benefit from lower costs across all vendors.

Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by each AA Fund as its assets grow larger, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be charged. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee for each AA Fund does not include breakpoints, but noted the Adviser’s permanent fee reduction for QVAL, QMOM, IVAL and IMOM and the fee waiver associated with VMOT.

Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable under the Agreement.

EA Series Trust (the “Trust”) is strongly committed to preserving and safeguarding the personal financial information of any customers of the Trust. Confidentiality is extremely important to us.

Regulation S-P requires, among others, each investment company to “adopt written policies and procedures that address administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for the protection of customer records and information.” However, Pursuant to Regulation S-P’s definition of “customer,” the Trust currently does not have, nor does it anticipate having in the future, any customers. In addition, the Trust does not collect any non-public personal information from any consumers.

Nonetheless, the Trust has instituted certain technical, administrative and physical safeguards through which the Trust would seek to protect personal financial information about any customers from unauthorized use and access. First, technical procedures are used in order to limit the accessibility and exposure of Trust-maintained information contained in electronic form. If customer information were obtained by the Trust, such technical procedures would cover such information.

Second, administrative procedures that are in place, would be used to control the number and type of employees, affiliated and nonaffiliated persons, to whom customer information (if the Trust were to obtain any) would be accessible.

Third, physical safeguards have been established, which if customer information were obtained by the Trust, to prevent access to such information contained in hard-copy form.

As these procedures illustrate, the Trust realizes the importance of information confidentiality and security and emphasizes practices which are aimed at achieving those goals.
