FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

Notes to Financial StatementsJanuary 31, 2025 (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The American Conservative Values ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The offering of the Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on October 28, 2020.

The Fund’s objective is to seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation with capital preservation as a secondary objective.

The Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by Ridgeline Research LLC (the “Advisor”) to make investment decisions, and the results of the Fund’s operations, as shown in its Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Due to the significance of oversight and its role in the Fund’s management, the Advisor’s (portfolio manager) is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

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

Security Valuation

The Fund records its investments at fair value. Generally, the Fund’s domestic securities are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith under procedures set by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair

17

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJanuary 31, 2025 (unaudited)

value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets to the Advisor as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Fund’s policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the- counter market.

The Fund has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Fund’s investments are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.

When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Fund, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Fund’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.

The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The Fund held no Level 3 securities at any time during the six months ended January 31, 2025.

Security Transactions and Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules.

Accounting Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also

19

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJanuary 31, 2025 (unaudited)

intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s tax returns. The Fund has no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the six months ended January 31, 2025, there were no such reclassifications.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly by the Fund. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Creation Units

The Fund issues and redeems shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 25,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) will be required to pay Citibank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each creation order is $1,500. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (“Redemption Transaction Fee”) to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption

20

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJanuary 31, 2025 (unaudited)

Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is $1,500.

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of January 31, 2025:

To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

Officers and Trustees Indemnification

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

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Advisor currently provides investment advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor manages the investment portfolio of the Fund, subject to the policies adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Trust, furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Fund.

For its services with respect to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee, calculated daily and payable monthly as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the rate of 0.75%.

The Advisor has retained Vident Asset Management (the “Sub-Advisor”), to serve as sub-advisor for the Fund. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions as instructed by the Advisor, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.

For the services it provides to the Fund, the Sub-Advisor is compensated by the Advisor from the advisory fees paid by the Fund to the Advisor. Fees to the Sub-Advisor are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the daily net assets

22

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

NOTE 5 –TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and trade at market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in large blocks of 25,000 shares (each block of shares is called a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

All orders to create Creation Units must be placed with the Fund’s distributor or transfer agent either (1) through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (“Clearing Process”), a clearing agency that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by a “Participating Party,” i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the Clearing Process; or (2) outside the Clearing Process by a DTC Participant. In each case, the Participating Party

25

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.

Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approval

This semi-annual report pertains only to the American Conservative Values ETF; however, the disclosure below pertains to that fund and the American Conservative Values Small-Cap ETF, a fund that has not commenced operations. Once the American Conservative Values Small-Cap ETF commences operations, this disclosure will be provided again in the next financial report that is prepared and applicable to that fund.

At a meeting held on September 24-25, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the ETF Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Ridgeline Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Ridgeline Research, LLC (“Ridgeline”) and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Ridgeline and Vident Asset Management (“Vident”), each with respect to the American Conservative Values ETF (“ACVF”)

27

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

and the American Conservative Values Small-Cap ETF (“ACVSCF” together with ACVF, the “ACV Funds”). The Board discussed the arrangements between Ridgeline and the Trust and Ridgeline and Vident with respect to the ACV Funds. The Board reflected on its discussions with the representatives from Ridgeline earlier in the Meeting regarding the manner in which the ACV Funds were managed and the roles and responsibilities of Ridgeline and Vident under the Ridgeline Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement (collectively, the “Ridgeline Advisory Agreements”).

The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from counsel to the Trust (“Trust Counsel”) that addressed the Trustees’ duties when considering the continuation of the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements and the responses of Ridgeline and Vident to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board. A copy of this memorandum had been provided to the Trustees in advance of the Meeting. The Trustees also reviewed the responses of Ridgeline and Vident to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board and noted that the responses included a copy of financial information for Ridgeline and Vident, an expense comparison analysis for the ACV Funds and comparable mutual funds and ETFs, and the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements. The Trustees discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Ridgeline and Vident; (ii) the investment performance of the ACVF and Ridgeline; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Ridgeline and Vident from the relationship with the ACV Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the ACV Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of their investors; and (v) possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at this Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements, including: (i) information regarding the services and support to be provided by Ridgeline and Vident to the ACV Funds and their shareholders; (ii) presentations by management of Ridgeline and Vident addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations to be utilized in managing the ACV Funds; (iii) information pertaining to the compliance structure of Ridgeline and Vident; (iv) disclosure information contained in the ACV Funds’ registration statement and Ridgeline’s and Vident’s Form ADV and/or the policies and procedures

28

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

of Ridgeline and Vident; and (v) the memorandum from Trust Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.

The Board considered that it also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Ridgeline and Vident, including financial information, information on personnel and the services to be provided by Ridgeline and Vident to the ACV Funds, each firm’s compliance program, information on any current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) projected expenses of the ACV Funds and comparative expense and performance information for other ETFs with strategies similar to the ACV Funds prepared by an independent third party; (iii) the anticipated effect of size on the ACV Funds’ performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits anticipated to be realized by Ridgeline and Vident from their relationship with the ACV Funds.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Ridgeline and Vident.

In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Ridgeline and Vident under their respective Ridgeline Advisory Agreements. The Board reviewed the services provided by each of Ridgeline and Vident to the ACV Funds, including, without limitation, Ridgeline’s process for formulating investment recommendations and the processes of both Ridgeline and Vident for assuring compliance with the ACV Funds’ investment objectives and limitations; Vident’s processes for trade execution and broker-dealer selection for portfolio transactions; the coordination of services by Ridgeline for the ACV Funds among the service providers; and the anticipated efforts of Ridgeline to promote the ACV Funds and grow their assets. The Board considered: the staffing, personnel, and methods of operating of Ridgeline and Vident; the education and experience of their personnel; and information provided regarding their compliance programs, policies and procedures. The Board considered the methods to be utilized by Ridgeline in supervising Vident as a sub-adviser to the ACV Funds and the

29

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

relationship between Ridgeline and Vident. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from Ridgeline and Vident, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services provided by Ridgeline and Vident was satisfactory and adequate for the ACV Funds.

The investment performance of the ACVF and Ridgeline.

The Board reviewed ACVF’s performance under Ridgeline’s management. They discussed the reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) and reviewed the performance of the ACVF with the performance of its benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”), the funds in its Morningstar category, the Large Blend category, (“Category”), and a peer group selected from its Category by Broadridge (“Peer Group”). The Board noted that ACVF had underperformed the S&P 500 for the one and three year periods ended June 30, 2024, and had outperformed the performance of the median of the Peer Group and the Category for the one and three year periods ended July 31, 2024.

The Board noted that ACVSCF had not yet commenced operations. The Trustees considered that Ridgeline does not manage any separate accounts with strategies similar to those of the ACV Funds.

After a detailed discussion of ACVF’s performance, the Board concluded that the overall performance of ACVF was in line with the Fund’s investment strategy and warranted the approval of the advisory agreement.

The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by Ridgeline and Vident from the relationship with the ACV Funds.

In this regard, the Board considered the financial condition of Ridgeline and the level of commitment to the ACV Funds by Ridgeline. The Board also considered the projected assets and proposed expenses of the ACV Funds, including the nature and frequency of advisory payments. The Board noted the information on profitability provided by Ridgeline and Vident. The Trustees considered the ACV Funds’ unitary fee structure, and compared the unitary fee of the ACV Funds to the fees of a peer group of other ETFs selected by Broadridge using Morningstar data as being comparable to the ACV Funds in terms of the type of fund, the style of investment management, anticipated assets and the nature of the investment strategy and markets invested in, among other factors. The Trustees noted that the ACVF’s gross and net expense ratio and gross and net advisory fee were each higher than the median of its Peer Group and the Category, while ACVSCF’s gross and net expense ratio were the same as the median of its Peer Group and the Category and gross and net advisory fee were the same as the

30

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | January 31, 2025

American Conservative Values ETF

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

Peer Group median and higher than the Category median.. The Board noted that Ridgeline does not manage separate accounts with strategies similar to the ACV Funds. The Trustees also considered the split of the advisory fees paid to Ridgeline versus those paid to Vident and the respective services provided by each to the ACV Funds. The Board also considered that Vident represented that its proposed fee for sub-advising the ACV Funds is consistent with the range of fees charged to other clients. After further consideration, the Board concluded that the profitability of Ridgeline and Vident was not unreasonable, and the fees to be paid to Ridgeline (who in turn will pay Vident) were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by Ridgeline and Vident.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the ACV Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the ACV Funds’ investors.

The Trustees considered that it was not anticipated that, under the current fee structure, the ACV Funds would achieve economies of scale. They noted that the unitary fee structure of the ACV Funds limits shareholders’ exposure to fee increases.

Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory and sub-advisory personnel assigned to the ACV Funds; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the ACV Funds; the substance and administration of the Code of Ethics and other relevant policies of Ridgeline and Vident. The Board noted that Ridgeline and Vident have each represented that it does currently utilize soft dollars or commission recapture with regard to the ACV Funds. The Board also considered potential benefits for Ridgeline and Vident in managing the ACV Funds. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the standards and practices of Ridgeline and Vident relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived by each of Ridgeline and Vident from managing the ACV Funds were satisfactory.

After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Trustees, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Ridgeline Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the Ridgeline Advisory Agreements.
