1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Volt Crypto Industry Revolution and Tech ETF, an exchange-traded fund (the “ETF”), is a non-diversified series of the Volt ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust on July 30, 2010, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The ETF commenced operations on October 27, 2021. The investment objective of the ETF is to seek to provide capital appreciation by investing a majority of its net assets in U.S. and foreign companies with exposure to bitcoin and its supporting infrastructure. The Advisor applies an option overlay strategy to the ETF’s equity investments.  The ETF defines companies with exposure to bitcoin as “Bitcoin Industry Revolution Companies,” which are domestic and foreign (including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”)) companies that: (i) hold a majority of their net assets in bitcoin on their balance sheet as can be reasonably determined by the company’s annual filings (e.g. filings on Form 10k or foreign equivalents) from the past 12 months; and/or (ii) derive a majority of their revenue or profits directly from mining, lending, transacting in bitcoin, or manufacturing bitcoin mining equipment as can be reasonably determined by the company’s annual filings from the past 12 months. The Bitcoin Industry Revolution Companies noted in (i) above will not include Canadian ETFs, private funds, or GBTC.

While the ETF has a bitcoin industry focus, under normal circumstances, the ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Bitcoin Industry Revolution Companies and Technology Companies, options on those companies and ETFs with exposure to those companies. Under normal circumstances, the ETF will invest the majority of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Bitcoin Industry Revolution Companies. The remainder of the ETF’s net assets used to satisfy the 80% test set forth above will be invested in Technology Companies, and at least 15% of the ETF’s net assets will be in Technology Companies. “Technology Companies” are companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from software, technology hardware, and/or products or services that rely on self-developed processing chips or artificial intelligence chips. The ETF may also invest up to 20% of the portfolio to gain broad equity market exposure, including through ETFs, to offset the risk of the focused portfolio. The ETF will not directly invest in bitcoin but will invest in companies that support bitcoin and the bitcoin blockchain industry.

The ETF 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 10,000 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 BTCR, 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.

Creation Transaction Fees. A creation transaction fee with a $250 minimum per transaction (the "Creation Transaction Fee") is applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of Creation units purchased in the transaction.  An additional variable charge for cash creations or partial cash creations may also be imposed to compensate the ETF for the costs associated with buying the applicable securities.  The price for each Creation unit will equal the ETF's daily NAV per share times the number of Shares in a Creation unit plus the Creation Transaction Fees, and, if applicable, any transfer taxes.

Redemption Transaction Fees. A redemption transaction fee with a $250 minimum per transaction (the "Redemption Transaction Fee") is applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of Creation units redeemed in the transaction. The price for each Creation unit will equal the ETF's daily NAV per share times the number of Shares in a Creation unit plus the Redemption Transaction Fees, and, if applicable, any transfer taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of July 31, 2022

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,” and Financial Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

Investment Valuation

The ETF’s investments in securities are carried at fair value. Fixed income 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. The 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.

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 Exchange 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 Exchange on the day the securities are valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices.

With respect to any portion of an ETF's assets that may be invested in other mutual funds, the value of the ETF's shares is based on the NAV of the shares of the other mutual funds in which the ETF invests. The valuation methods used by mutual funds in pricing their shares, including the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing, are included in the prospectuses of such funds. To the extent the ETF invests a portion of its assets in non-registered investment vehicles, the ETF's shares in the non-registered vehicles are fair valued at NAV.

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. Fair value determinations are made in accordance with the policies and procedures approved by the Board. Market quotations may not be readily available or may be determined to be unreliable when a security’s value or a meaningful portion of the ETF’s portfolio is believed to have been materially affected by a significant event. A significant event is an event that is likely to materially affect the value of the ETF’s investment. 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 Exchange. 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 the NYSE. 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 of certain securities may occur at times or on days on which the ETF’s NAV is not calculated and on which an ETF does not affect sales or redemptions of its shares.

Option Valuation

Exchange-traded equity options for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices as quoted on the Exchange or board of trade on which such options are traded.  In the event that there is no mean price available for such an exchange-traded equity option held by the ETF on a day in which the ETF values such option, the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price, if available, will be used as the value of such option.  If no such bid or ask price is available on a day in which the ETF values such option, the prior day’s price will be used, unless the ETF determines in good faith the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of such option, in which case, the option will be treated as a Fair Value Asset (as defined below). Over-the-counter derivatives (“OTC”) may be valued using a mathematical model which may incorporate a number of market data factors.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of July 31, 2022

Foreign Currency Gains/Losses

The accounting records of the ETF are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the foreign market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains and losses on the purchase and sale of foreign currencies and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Fair Value Measurement

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

Level 2: other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities and identical securities in inactive markets, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3: significant unobservable inputs (including the ETF’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

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 July 31, 2022 for the ETF’s assets measured at fair value:

Notes to Financial Statements

As of July 31, 2022

Purchased Options

When the ETF purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the ETF is 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 ETF enters 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.

Option Writing

When the ETF writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the ETF is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the ETF on the expiration date as realized gains from options written.  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 loss (depending on if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction).  If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the ETF has realized a gain or loss.  If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the ETF.  The ETF, as the writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.  Written options are non-income producing securities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The ETF may invest in derivative financial instruments (derivatives) in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets.  Derivatives may contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and the potential for market movements which may expose the ETF to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Derivatives are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers or the ETF’s independent pricing services and the ETF’s net benefit or obligation under the contract, as measured by the fair market value of the contract, is included in Investments, at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for options purchased.  Net realized gains and losses and net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the year are included in the Realized and Unrealized Gain on Investments on the Statement of Operations for options purchased and Realized and Unrealized Gain on Options Written on the Statement of Operations for options written.

---

The following table sets forth the effect of the derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the initial period ended July 31, 2022:

The following table represents the total premiums paid/received on options, which serve as an indicator of volume for options during the initial period ended July 31, 2022:

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date).  Dividend income and expense 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. The ETF’s expenses are paid by the Advisor from the unitary advisory fee paid to the Advisor by the ETF except for the fees and expenses described below in Note 2 – “Transactions with Related Parties and Service Providers – Advisor”.

Distributions

The ETF may declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.  The ETF 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of July 31, 2022

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held with a financial institution. The assets of the ETF may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each accountholder. The ETF maintains cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits.  The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus, there may be a greater counterparty credit risk.  The ETF places deposits with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy and there has been no history of loss.

2.	Transactions with Related Parties and Service Providers

Advisor

The ETF pays a monthly unitary advisory fee to Volt Equity LLC (the “Advisor”) calculated at the annual rate of 0.85% of the ETF’s average daily net assets in exchange for the Advisor’s services and the payment of all expenses incurred by the ETF except for the (i) fee payment under the investment advisory agreement between the ETF and the Advisor, (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)).

For the initial period from October 27, 2021 (Commencement of Operations) through July 31, 2022, the Advisor earned $25,997 in advisory fees.

Administrator

The Nottingham Company, Inc. (the “Administrator) serves as the administrator and fund accountant for the ETF.   The Advisor pays the Administrator a fee for its services in accordance with the Fund Accounting and Administration Service Agreement with the ETF.

Compliance Services

The Nottingham Company, Inc. serves as the Trust’s compliance services provider including services as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.  The Advisor pays The Nottingham Company a fee for its services pursuant to the Compliance Services Agreement with the ETF.

.

Transfer Agent

Nottingham Shareholder Services, LLC (“Transfer Agent”) serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent for the ETF. The Advisor pays the Transfer Agent a fee for its services pursuant to the Dividend Disbursing and Transfer Agent Agreement with the ETF.  Broadridge Solutions, Inc. also serves as the Sub-Transfer Agent during the fiscal period.

Distributor

Capital Investment Group, Inc. serves as the ETF’s principal underwriter and distributor. The Advisor pays the Distributor a fee for its services pursuant to the ETF Distribution Agreement with the ETF.

3.	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 $5,000 per year payable quarterly and $1,625 per series, per meeting in the Trust, payable from the Advisor. The Advisor will reimburse each Trustee and officer of the Trust for his or her travel and other expenses relating to attendance of Board meetings.  In addition, each Trustee may receive up to an additional $1,625 per special meeting in the event that special meetings are necessary in addition to the regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, also payable by the Advisor.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of July 31, 2022

One Trustee and certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor or the Administrator.

4.	Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

For the initial period ended July 31, 2022, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

5.   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 initial fiscal year ended July 31, 2022 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 initial fiscal year ended July 31, 2022, the ETF did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Fund paid no income and no long-term capital gains distributions during the initial period from October 27, 2021 (Commencement of Operations) through July 31, 2022.

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax treatment of the in-kind gain/loss resulted in the following reclassifications in the ETF as of the initial period ended July 31, 2022:

Volt Crypto Industry Revolution and Tech ETF

Notes to Financial Statements

As of July 31, 2022

At July 31, 2022, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of distributable earnings were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized depreciation is attributable to the deferral of wash sale losses.

Accumulated capital losses noted above represent net capital loss carryovers as of July 31, 2022 that are available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. The ETF has a capital loss carryforward of $6,257,698, all of which is short-term in nature.

In addition, realized losses reflected in the accompany financial statements include net ordinary losses realized between January 1 and ETF’s fiscal year end of July 31, 2022 totaling $15,647.

6.   Concentration of Risk

At various times, the ETF may have cash, cash collateral, and due from broker balances that exceed federally insured limits.

An investment in a single sector is considered significant if it exceeds 25% of the net assets of the ETF. The ETF currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the Information Technology sector.  As of July 31, 2022, the ETF’s net assets invested in the Information Technology sector totaled 32.24%.

7.  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.

8.  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 these financial statements.  Management has concluded there are no additional matters, other than those noted above, requiring recognition or disclosure.

1.	Proxy Voting Policies and Voting Record

A copy of the Advisor’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures is included as Appendix A to the ETF’s Statement of Additional Information and is available, without charge, upon request, by calling 800-773-3863, and on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) at www.sec.gov.  Information regarding how the ETF voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling the ETF at the number above and (2) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

2.	Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

The ETF files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT.  The ETF’s Form N-PORT is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  You may also obtain copies without charge, upon request, by calling the ETF at 800-773-3863.

3.	Tax Information

We are required to advise you within 60 days of the ETF’s fiscal year-end regarding federal tax status of certain distributions received by shareholders during each fiscal year. The following information is provided for the ETF’s initial period ended July 31, 2022.

During the initial period, the ETF paid no income distributions and no capital gains distributions.

Dividend and distributions received by retirement plans such as IRAs, Keogh-type plans, and 403(b) plans need not be reported as taxable income. However, many retirement plans may need this information for their annual information meeting.

4.	Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of the ETF, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other ETF expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the ETF and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds or mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the fiscal period from February 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022.

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 (e.g., 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 Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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

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